Tanzania's Singer Harmonize Arrested in Nairobi

Tanzania's sensational Singer Harmonize has been arrested.

The singer who has been in Nairobi since Friday is being held at Kileleshwa police station.

The development come hours after he performed at Afrika Moja Concert at the KICC.

Harmonize was to leave the country on Sunday but reports indicate that he was put in custody for failing to make several club appearances at Nairobi clubs that had already paid for his services.

Comedian Eric Omondi has also been linked to the simmering scandal.

Since his arrival in the country, the singer has had a number of challenges.

On Friday, there was a dramatic encounter between Harmonize and revellers at a club in Nairobi.

Eric Omondi who was with the comedian said that there was a misunderstanding from fans on what Harmonize was expected to do at the club. 

"A lot of things happened, it was a party and some people were excited...the club was small. There is a difference between a concert and/or event. Kenyans must understand that it was a club appearance/technical appearance/meet and greet/ an afterparty," Eric Omondi said. 

He defended Harmonize's brief performance at the club, saying the Kwangwaru hitmaker was not obliged to entertain revellers that night.

 "The artist is supposed to just chill, he is not supposed to perform. Harmonize was coming to perform at KICC, Kenyans should understand. You can even pay 1 million, you know what a club appearance is...it happens worldwide."

"People themselves demanded that Harmonize should perform, so he sang some songs. Even tomorrow we have another club appearance and the artists will not perform, unless at his own will. He should not be told what to do," Eric added.
