Wiz Kid for St Louis Fresh Fest

This year the event will change its traditional host place and will be staged at the Gaborone Cricket Club. Interestingly the event will feature, as its main attraction Nigerian super star, Wiz Kid. Although the line up has not yet been revealed Showbiz can exclusively confirm that the Nigerian rapper will grace Botswana in the next three weeks for the first time ever.
Last year, the event which had the We dance again hitmaker, as well as the man who just filled up the Orlando Stadium, Casper Nyovest, was already packed by 4pm, and there is no coincidence as the organisers say that they intend to make the event a more afternoon laid back event rather than an all night festival.
Marketing manager for mainstream brands at KBL, Mpho Motlhabane however this week could not be drawn to confirm that Wiz Kid will headline at this year’s show saying; “I cannot comment on that for now, so I will not confirm or deny that he is coming”.
Perhaps giving another hint on Wiz Kid, St Louis just followed the rapper on their official Twitter page.
“You see this event is not about the music, the entertainment is just an icing on the cake, it is about the St Louis experience. This year more than ever attendants of the events will go home having felt the real experience of the fresh fest,” Motlhabane said.
Motlhabane however said that the line up would be revealed soon.
On the same day however, it remains to be seen where the crowds will go as the much anticipated Yarona Fm Music Awards (YAMAs) XXL will also be staged at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC). With Vee also planning to fill up the Molapo Stanbic Piazza on the same day, all three brands have been known in the past to pull off show stopper events.
