Yesterday we carried a story about Diamond being invited by MCSK to perform at their awards gala night which will happen at the Carnivore on 20th October, Mashujaa Day. And then Robert Alai picked up on it and ran the srory thus:
MCSK to Pay Diamond Ksh1.2 Million for Performance; Kenyan Artists to Get Only Ksh 50,000
And we on our part carried this:
But today the CEO of MCSK spoke to Mpasho to clear the air. And he gave full details of the situation as it stands and I would like to clear the air. Now go and get your favourite blogger and tell him to sit at Uncle Chim Tuna's feet so I may impart truth to him and you aswell nibling.
The rumour mills have been working overtime about Diamond getting invited to Kenya to make money, 1.2 million shillings at that. Maurice Okoth, the CEO of MCSK had this to say about the rumours:
Me: Hi, my name is Uncle Chim Tuna from Mpasho. I need yoour statement on the rumours swirling that Diamond is getting paid 1.2million by MCSK to perform.
"Kwani you moved from where you were?"
Me: Yep. Growth
"Diamond is not performing. He is an award winner"
Succinct.
