South African Amapiano producer Kelvin Momo has come under fire on social media after his appearance at a show on Sunday, 25 October 2026, reportedly left fans waiting for hours. Frustrated ticket-holders took to social media to express their disappointment, with some questioning the treatment of fans at Amapiano events.
The musician was scheduled to perform at an event in the North West province, but attendees were left unhappy over the delay in his appearance. While some fans described the experience as a no-show, one attendee claimed that Momo eventually took to the stage at around 22:00, hours after the expected start time.
The incident sparked conversations online, with fans sharing their frustrations and recounting their experiences at music events. For those who had purchased tickets and made arrangements to attend, the reported delay became a major source of disappointment.
One social media user called out the situation, prompting another person to suggest that similar incidents had happened before. Responding to the discussion, the user wrote: “That’s literally what happened last time around 😂😩”
The exchange suggested that some attendees were concerned about repeated experiences involving delayed performances. However, the individual account does not establish how frequently such incidents have occurred at Momo’s shows.
Other users broadened the discussion, criticising what they perceived as a lack of respect for fans attending Amapiano gigs. One social media user urged music lovers to reconsider attending such events, writing: “Stop attending Piano gigs….they don’t respect you at all… @KunyeRecords everyone pitches up and experience is amazing..”
The comment reflected the wider frustration expressed in the discussion, while also highlighting that experiences at live music events can differ depending on the organisers and performers involved.
For fans, attending a concert is about more than simply seeing a favourite artist perform. Ticket-holders often spend money on transport, tickets and other arrangements, making punctuality and clear communication important parts of the overall experience.
Kelvin Momo remains a prominent name in the Amapiano scene, known for his soulful approach to the genre. However, the online reaction to the North West event shows how quickly dissatisfaction can spread when concertgoers feel that their time and money have not been respected.
The producer has also remained a talking point on social media for reasons beyond his music, including recent attention after he was spotted with MySol. He previously headlined an event at a Durban shisanyama in September.
As the discussion continues, the reported delay has renewed questions about communication between performers, event organisers and ticket-holders. Clear updates about performance times and unexpected delays can help manage expectations and prevent confusion.
For now, the incident has left some fans voicing their disappointment online, with many hoping for better experiences at future Amapiano events.
