Alikiba said his health and that of his band and fans were important than anything else

Bongo star Alikiba has been forced to cancel his much-anticipated US tour after he tested positive for COVID-19.

Alikiba expressed his disappointment with the development but said the health of all the stakeholders in the tour was far much important than anything else.

“To all my fans who have been impatiently waiting for the commencement of my my only one King US tour which was meant to commence on the 2nd of September. I am truly saddened and devastated to say that i have tested positive for Covid 19,” Part of Kiba’s statement read.

Kiba, however, promised to make the visit alive as soon as things were smooth, taking the opportunity to apologise to his fans.

The Tanzanian star is hoping to make a tour in the US as his Kenyan counterpart Otile Brown departed for the US in late August.

The Baby love hitmaker is in the United States of America for a tour of 15 states which he began in Los Angeles after the Los Angeles Rugby 7s tournament.
