Nairobi is buzzing with anticipation as the city prepares for the return of Walker Town on September 28th and 29th at Laureate Gardens, Kasarani Stadium.
Sponsored by Johnnie Walker, the event promises to be a standout in Kenya’s music calendar, featuring a star-studded lineup including Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Rema, Kenya’s Bien (of Sauti Sol), British rapper Arrdee, and the legendary Lauryn Hill.
But while excitement runs high for some, many Kenyans are finding it hard to believe that Lauryn Hill, one of the world’s biggest music icons, will actually set foot in Nairobi.
The announcement of her performance has sparked waves of skepticism on social media, with some fans laughing it off, saying they’ll only believe it when they see it.
One X user jokes;
Lauryn Hill in Kenya? I’ll believe it when she’s on stage at Kasarani 😂😂😂😂,”
The skepticism stems from Hill’s past reputation for unpredictability in live performances, with some high-profile cancellations and late showings making international headlines.
This has led some Kenyan fans to treat the news with a degree of caution.
Despite this, others remain hopeful and excited at the prospect of watching the Grammy Award-winning artist live.
Known for her timeless hits like “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and her legendary role in The Fugees, Lauryn Hill’s music holds a special place in the hearts of many Kenyans.
If the performance goes ahead as planned, it will mark a monumental moment in Kenya’s music history.
