Solange Knowles has canceled her Afropunk Joburg performance, and many ticket buyers are totally bummed.
The Where Do We Go singer, who was scheduled to headline the show this coming weekend, made the announcement on her Instagram account on Wednesday, citing health reasons for her inability to perform at the American lifestyle brand’s inaugural Joburg show on New Year’s Eve.
Revealing in the post that she has been diagnosed with a condition called Autonomic Disorder, the singer says doctors have advised against her taking such an ‘extended lengthy flight’.
“I can’t put into words how saddened and sorry I am that I am unable to perform for you guys this NYE”, she wrote, apologizing to fans who’ve purchased tickets in hopes of entering the upcoming year with the fashion icon.
Anderson Paak, who will be performing at the festival at Constitutional Hill, joined many fans and celebrities in sending some love to Solo
Sending out good vibes to my sister Solange. Get well soon, we love you.

While some fans who’ve bought tickets to the show have been sympathetic to Solo, others are straight up pissed by how the show organizers handled things.

I’m angry at @afropunk! I’m sad for Solange because she’s unwell but you guys carried on promoting like you didn’t know.
You haven’t even released a statement.

ICYMI – Here’s what peeps aren’t happy with: Solange broke the news on her IG page before Afropunk. Others are more upset by the fact that the announcement coming just days before the show this weekend in Braamfontein, assuming the organizers were aware of the diagnoses (Solange has been ‘quietly treating’ the condition for the past five months).
Everyone else is just demanding the option to be either be refunded or a replacement to be announced.
Well, one thing’s for sure – you can’t argue with a doctor’s note. Hope she gets well soon!


Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in for a treat. Disney+ has announced that 1 February marks the arrival of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The blockbuster will be joining 16 other on the streaming platform.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, ruler of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, is now playing in theaters.

They are one of South Africa’s most revered music duos.
Their discography packs both blockbuster club bangers and lush delights for lovers of House with a transcendental African sonic flair. And the explosive fallout of Black Motion, which has been splashed across the internet long before reaching the courts, has shocked many.
Loved for their electrifying live performances and awe-inspiring chemistry, Mörda and Smol have always seemed like musical soulmates. But that relationship seems to have reached a bitter end.
In 2022, rumours of their reported split triggered a frenzy on the internet. Following the uproar, the group’s members Bongani Mohosana, who now goes as Mörda, and Smol (real name Roy Thabo Mabogwane), jointly calmed fears that they had fallen out.
It had been said the break would be temporary, as Mörda moved to focus on the release of his solo studio album.
Far from it, it now seems. The parties have escalated things to court.
According to reports, Black Motions have confirmed that they had pressed charges against Mörda for alleged housebreaking and theft.
A court order by the High Court in Gauteng posted on social media has ordered Morda to “restore possession of a recording studio apparatus” to the group by 13 January, at 5pm.
Black Motion shared snaps of the alleged damage caused by Morda – a broken door and stolen equipment.
Tick – Tock

It looks like we won’t be getting a new Black Motion album with Mörda anytime soon.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
The highly anticipated social experiment brings under Biggie’s roof housemates from both South Africa and Nigeria.
