BREAKING NEWS: Akon Is Coming To Kenya Next Month

I was just about to go to sleep when I got a rather special update on my Facebook news feed. It said, “Akon has created a new event: Nairobi, Kenya show.” I checked the source of the announcement and sure enough, it was the official Akon Facebook page. The sneaky bugger chose to announce this big concert via FB!

 A quick look at the details of the event announcement reveal that he will be performing on Sunday October 28th, 2012, starting at around half-past-eight, Kenyan time. After years of promoters promising that he will come to our beloved country, I certainly hope that this time it is not a hoax. Fine, I know he was here for the first edition of the MAMA Awards in ’09, but I’m still excited that he’s now here, not as some show host, but to perform his classic tracks like ‘So Paid'(my favorite), ‘Smack That,’ ‘Mr. Lonely,’ and ‘Right Now.’

You can register for the event on Facebook here.

(PS: Just cross checked on his verified Twitter account, and he’s also updated about the concert there. This thing seems 100% legit.)
