Shenseea’s highly anticipated performance at Raha Fest in Nairobi, Kenya, on Tuesday night ended abruptly in chaos when tear gas was deployed to control unruly individuals who breached the venue.
The Dancehall star had been on stage for just seven minutes, performing her hit single Rebel, when the situation escalated, prompting security to swiftly usher her off stage for safety.
Reports indicate that ticketless individuals forcibly broke down the gates, triggering a stampede. In response, police intervened by releasing tear gas to disperse the crowd. Videos circulating online capture the tense moments, with festival goers seen fleeing the venue amidst the commotion.
Despite the disappointing conclusion to the New Year’s celebration, Shenseea’s brief appearance was well-received by fans.
However, the incident raised concerns about crowd control and event security at large-scale concerts in the region.
