Heartbreak for Christoph😭
S.I.O Turns Down SKD Concert, Picks Rwanda Instead!!
“Why now?” Fans ask as top artists back out of Liberia’s biggest Independence Day show.
In a surprising and emotional twist, rising Liberian music star S.I.O has declined an invitation to perform at Christoph The Change’s much-anticipated SKD Sports Complex concert, set for July 26th. Instead, S.I.O will be heading to Rwanda to perform at their Independence Day celebration a move that has left Liberian fans disappointed and confused.
The SKD concert, organized by Christoph and his team, The Money Empire, aims to make history by filling the stadium a feat no Liberian artist has ever achieved.
The vision was bold unite the biggest names in Liberian music for a night of pride, culture, and celebration.
But S.I.O’s absence is just one of many.
Other major artists confirmed to be skipping the show include:
• DenG
• Chuku Nelly Degbe
• Faithvonic of Africa
• Spesh D DJ
And while top-tier names like CIC, JZyNo, and KIZZY W are currently on tour in the U.S., fan favorites such as Teddyride, Fazari, Kobazzie, STUNN, J Slught, Kpanto, and MC Caro have not yet confirmed their appearance adding more uncertainty.
The growing list of no shows has sparked frustration among fans, many of whom were looking forward to a powerful night of unity a bridge between the legends and the new wave of Liberian artists.
Social media is flooded with reactions.
“Why would they leave Christoph like this?” one fan asked.
Another wrote, “We feel betrayed. This was supposed to be our moment.”
As of now, Christoph has remained silent, but sources close to him say he’s deeply disappointed by the wave of rejections.
Despite the setbacks, fans are still hopeful that Christoph will push forward and that, somehow, the dream of a packed SKD Stadium for a homegrown concert can still come true.
