The air was thick with anticipation and the aromas from sizzling grills as the earlyentrants were further crowned with a free, ice-cold Pilsner King to set a celebratory tone for the evening.
The stage was a revolving door of talent, with Dexta Rapper igniting the crowd with his viral ‘Daddy Wato Inni Wa’ moves early in the evening, songstress Tracy Melon slowing down the tempo and rapper Da Agent speeding it up again with his fast flow.

As she performed hits like “Ndi Mukodo,” the night was anything but stingy with giveawaysof free-flowing and discounted Pilsner King and free Airtel WiFi for the crowd that was loving every minute at the Grounds.
She sang, danced, freestyled and had the crowd singing alongback to her, demonstrating why the reign of the King Herselfstill has no end in sight.
Her set also included popular collaborations like “Mwoto” with Karole Kasita and the new banger on the block, “See You Tonight” with Omega 256.
