Fancy Gadam had to cancel his concert last night after the death of at least nine people when fans of the Gadam Nation boss trooped to the airport to welcome him and Patoranking who were billed to perform at the concert.
The Tamale mayor, Iddrisu Musah Superior after the incident lashed out at the ‘Total cheat’ hitmaker, saying he has warned him and his management to stop letting his fans flood the streets of Tamale.
“We are not going to allow one individual to take the whole of Tamale to ransom. I won’t allow that. I have spoken to him, I have spoken to his management but this young man would not listen. And I tell you his talent is a danger to the people of Tamale. The fabulous talent of this young man is a danger to the people of Tamale. Why would you want to mobilize innocent people on the streets just because you want to make profit? You want to use the blood of the people to make money? We won’t tolerate that,” he said.
He also indicated he has banned all concerts at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.
“I have banned all [musical] concerts at the stadium. No more musical concerts until further notice. We are not going to allow that. He was not coming to pay a courtesy call on my disciplined chiefs. They were all over the place, blocked the streets. A lot of indiscipline on the streets,” he noted.
Fancy Gadam also after the incident sent a message to his fans.
“My heart is heavy right now, words can’t describe how I feel. I am sorry to announce to you that my show with Patoranking scheduled to come off tomorrow has been postponed indefinately… I can’t lose my fans and still have the heart to stage a show.”
Fancy Gadam born Mujahid Ahmed Bello is well known for his sold out concerts and the ‘presidential welcome’ he gets in the north whenever he goes home.
