"Honestly, it’s quite heartbreaking to say this, but I will not be able to perform at the Tukutane Festival due to circumstances beyond my control. I am as disappointed as you are, but I look forward to coming and giving you the show you deserve," she wrote on Twitter.

However, hours later, Tukutane Entertainment released a statement claiming the musician cancelled the show despite her receiving full payment for the show.

Part of their statement read:

"As at three days ago, all was going according to schedule and plan. We paid for Tems in full 15 days before the performance date and to our surprise as soon as the payment was made, her manager mentioned that she is no longer comfortable coming to Kenya and just doesn't want to perform for her Kenyan fans. We were shook, heartbroken and financially wounded."
