Kennis Music artiste, Kelly Hansome, has made another avoidable detour into the minefields of controversy. The controversy-prone singer is the subject of a petition sent to the Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Haruna John.
According to the petition signed by the proprietor of the club, Edwin Okeke, the Maga Don Pay crooner, visited Cue Lounge located at Savannah Suites, Area 3, Garki, Abuja, on the night of Friday, January 28 with a few friends ostensibly to unwind.
Okeke states, “The problem started when the musician who came uninvited appealed through a mutual friend to be allowed to render a track from one of his albums. Little did we know that we were making a big mistake by acceding to his request because as soon as he finished the first track, he delved into another and started using his music to incite violence.”
At which point Okeke said they started pleading with him to stop but he seemed past caring: “His disregard for our plea even amid shouts of disapproval from the guests who were already walking out, prompted Deejay Scott of Brilla FM to turn off the microphone.
Realising that he could no longer continue with the microphone, he started assaulting an official of Cue Lounge until the lounge guards came to the official’s rescue.”
While being dragged out of the club, Okeke stated that Kelly ran back and grabbed the official by the collar while his (Kelly’s) escorts threw punches randomly. He declared further that in Kelly’s final attempt to forcefully gain entrance into the lounge, the front door which had been locked to forestall further disturbances did not give but the glass name plate broke in the process.
“A smashed 12mm glass name plate outside the door is one of the clear indications that violent acts were let loose by the musician and his escorts. In fact, a visit to our premises will show evidence of the magnitude of disruption and great violence that occurred on the said night,” Okeke said. Aside this act which led to many patrons leaving in anger, what irked the management of the club was the artiste’s threat to come back and continue where he stopped.
Several attempts to reach Kelly were unsuccessful as his mobile line was switched off. His label boss, Kenny Ogungbe, could not be reached for comments as he is in Los Angeles, United States
Another Jim Iyke... Fame actually make some people become stupid and nonchalant.
