SAMTHING SOWETO: “I GOT TWO GIGS” AFTER R500K SCORPION KINGS OFFER
Samthing Soweto has spoken about the reported R500,000 offer from DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small to perform at the highly anticipated Scorpion Kings Live show at FNB Stadium.
The Scorpion Kings show took place on Saturday, but according to Samthing Soweto, he already had two confirmed performances scheduled for the same day.
In a video circulating on social media, the singer explained that he had managed to secure two gigs for that Saturday and travelled to Cape Town to honour those existing bookings.
This means his Cape Town performances were not something that happened after the Scorpion Kings show. They were already scheduled for the same day, leaving Samthing with a difficult decision to make when the reported R500,000 opportunity came into the picture.
His explanation has now added another layer to the conversation surrounding the reported offer.
DJ Maphorisa had previously spoken about wanting Samthing Soweto to be part of the Scorpion Kings Live show at FNB Stadium. The reported R500,000 offer quickly became a major talking point among fans and on social media.
However, Samthing’s explanation suggests that the situation may not have simply been about turning down a lucrative opportunity. He already had professional commitments that required him to be in Cape Town on the same day.
For artists, accepting a booking often means making a commitment not only to the client but also to promoters, event organisers and everyone involved in putting the performance together. Cancelling an existing booking can therefore come with its own consequences.
The situation has sparked an interesting debate about what an artist should do when two major opportunities fall on the same date.
Imagine having two confirmed performances on the same day, only for another opportunity worth R500,000 to come along. Would you cancel the existing bookings and take the bigger offer, or would you honour the commitments you made first?
For Samthing Soweto, his explanation appears to be that he had already committed to the Cape Town performances and chose to honour those commitments.
The conversation surrounding the reported offer is likely to continue, particularly because of the amount involved and the significance of performing at FNB Stadium alongside the Scorpion Kings.
If you already had two confirmed performances on the same day, would you cancel them for a R500,000 offer to perform at FNB Stadium?
