In a dramatic turn of events during a performance in the UK, Ghanaian highlife artist Fameye found himself in a heated exchange with a DJ and event organizers. The incident, which occurred on December 15, 2024, quickly went viral, capturing the attention of fans and music lovers alike.
The performance disruption
While on stage, Fameye expressed his frustration at the DJ for failing to play the songs he had specifically requested. Instead, the DJ played various tracks that left Fameye feeling disconnected from the audience. At one point, he asked the DJ to lower the volume so he could communicate better with the crowd and hear himself clearly. Although the DJ initially complied, he soon reverted to a louder volume, further aggravating Fameye and disrupting the flow of the performance.
A frustrated Artist
Unable to contain his emotions, Fameye confronted the DJ and voiced his discontent. He explained that they had rehearsed three times prior to the event and was bewildered by the miscommunication. “I told the organizers to let me bring my own DJ, but they said they couldn’t cover the costs,” he lamented to the audience. His disappointment was palpable as he reflected on how the situation could have been avoided if he had been allowed to work with his own team.
Fameye also expressed his heartbreak over the low turnout at the event, stating, “This is very poor. The DJ can’t even play a simple song, and we rehearsed three times before this.” His candid remarks resonated with many fans who understood the pressure artists face during live performances.
Behind the scenes
Media personality Caleb Nii Boye, who was present at the event, recounted the unfolding drama. He noted that Fameye was eager to connect with the audience and had a specific song in mind that he wanted to perform. However, the DJ’s repeated mistakes, including playing a remix instead of the original track “Nothing I Get,” only added to the tension.
As the situation escalated, Fameye’s plea for understanding and support from the organizers highlighted the challenges performers often encounter when logistics go awry.
