Although Ray G's show registered success, it was also almost called of after its promoter, Nobat Events, claimed the former was scheming to steal money.
On Friday afternoon, April 26, Nobat Events says G has misrepresented their relationship with sponsors. This was however settled and show finally took place.
Ray G has been in the music industry for so many years but he was never popular in central which is Kampala the capital city of Uganda the pearl of Africa.
When he did a collaboration with Spice Diana, he started going viral and people started giving him so much attention.
