It’s with deep regret that we have to post this.

Koroga festival called us and told us to perform as the headliners for the Koroga festival Saturday edition. We’d done one event with them previously and since we had no issues the last time and also because it is a huge platform,

we obviously jumped at the opportunity to perform again. This time, However, the treatment we got from them was more than hostile. As we speak four of our members including our Dj, hypeman , Zilla and our driver are all in hospital, brutally injured by Guards from the K.K

Ethic blames Koroga organizers for what happened late Saturday night and threatened to press legal charges for the alleged incident, which they termed as “targeted violence”.

security company and other festival organizers. We want to state that we will be seeking legal redress as we need due compensation from Koroga and KK security group for our medical bills et al.

As we push Kenyan music to the world we hope that one day,Kenyan artists will oneday

Ethic crew has also called out event organiser for not providing local talents with first class security details and superstar treatment like they do to International artists.

Kenyan artists will one day be treated the same as artists from other countries. The Saturday event this time surpassed all expectations and is definitely going to surpass their Sunday one. You know why? Because we Kenyan artists have worked our asses off to finally get Kenyans

Ethic crew entertainment Allegation Of mistreatment of local received support from Social media personality Xtiandela,

It is deeply saddening for Kenyan event organizers like Koroga Festival to treat foreign artistes as superstars but treat our own as trash. They pay foreigners a lot of money and treat them like gods while our own artistes suffer and struggle in our own country#JusticeForEthic

Billy Miya, CEO Mideyah media and also award winning Media personality at Radio Maisha also was in support of the Crews calls against criminalisation of local acts

The Kenyan Music industry has come a very long way & it should no longer be characterised by such incidences of victimization! What happened to Ethic is wrong & should not happen to anyone! It's Savage! Organizers of Koroga Festival should do something about it. #Justiceforethic pic.twitter.com/1oUTujnVOp

Crew members also called their loyal fans to remain loyal to the their cause. They, Ethic, said That they’re working hard to make sure local talents are respected

From the video, The guard is the one that is supposed to be seeking legal redress against Ethic Entertainment.

Credible sources have accused the Ghetto self made group of being uncooperative and totally chaotic.

Social media personalities have also called out Ethic,on their bad manners during events.

Doesn't matter if you're wrong or right.
If your name is constantly associated with chaos or infamous acts, no matter how big a crowd you pull there's gonna be a time your name will be getting crossed off the shortlists. Then, it won't even be getting on shortlists.

There’s always two sides of a story… and this is the other side.. which not many will want to share or talk about. Unfortunately.

We can’t be throwing blame when such things happen. K9 Secufities should also issue out their statements about what exactly happened on the night of Saturday.

Ethic Entertainment crew have also replied to the organizers video saying the video is the second after what had happened before

This is the second part of the drama. @KorogaFestival don’t run away from the fact that you treated us like second class citizens mkitushow ‘nyinyi ni wa ghetto’. We also have videos. https://t.co/hJXzKTjlpY

So, honestly, what happened?

There’s always a reason why such odeals happen and in this case, Ethic crew, Koroga organizers and K9 need to give us the exact reason(s) and stop playing with people’s feelings, emotions, support and mind by wasting time on PR gimmicks, hearsay and blame game
