Nigerian disc jockey, Tolani Shobanjo, popularly known as Tolani Baj, has denied theft accusations after an event promoter called her out for not performing in a show in Halifax, Canada.
According to the promoter, the former Big Brother Naija housemate allegedly took the gig and did not fulfil her commitment.
She reportedly became scared and absconded with the deposit without issuing a refund according to the promoter.
Naijaonpoint reports that the promoter also accused her of not conducting a sound check and not being able to do the job properly.
Reacting to the allegations, Tolani said she left because the promoters did not do their due diligence.
She wrote: “I want to take a moment to address some of the false narratives circulating about the recent event in Halifax. I was booked for a show, I showed up excited and fully ready to perform which there’s visible proof of that on my page.
“Unfortunately, due to the fact that a sound check was not conducted (which is a standard part of my contract) a technical issue with the controller went unnoticed until it was in time for me to play. I was informed that the venue wasn’t ready when we arrived at the city because of weather conditions, which led to the event being moved from a day party to a night party.
“Had the sound check been done, the issue could’ve been caught and resolved before the performance. It’s quite disappointing to be called names or accused of theft when I was present at the venue & ready to deliver. I was paid 50% at the end of this booking for transparency purposes which is understandable due to the unforeseen circumstance.”
