If P.M.Entertainment’s findings are anything to go by, then the late Bob Marley’s son, Ky-mani Marley, may be in Nigeria soon.
P.M.Entertainment learnt that Ky-mani is one of the artistes pencilled down to perform at the 2012 edition of Felabration holding in the New Afrika Shrine, Agidingbi, Ikeja Lagos, southwest Nigeria, in October.
Other international stars pencilled by the organising committee are Alicia Keys, Wale, Tinie, Tempah, Angelique Kidjo, Cabo Snoop, Fally Ipupa and others.
Investigations revealed that the organising committee led by Fela’s daughter, Yeni, has commenced preparations for the yearly event in honour of the late Afrobeat king.
Apart from the foreign stars, the committee is said to be compiling names of Nigerian stars that will perform in the 2012 edition of the event.
Yeni neither denied nor confirmed the news that Ky-mani will be in Nigeria for the event, saying; “Presently, we are working on getting prospective sponsors but I can assure you that both foreign and Nigerian stars will be part of 2012 edition of Felabration.”
Also ‘kabakaba’ crooner, Konga, who was at the shrine last Sunday to watch Femi Kuti’s Sunday Jump told P.M.Entertainment that his mission was to pay homage to the Afrobeat king.
