"My people, been trying to find better words I can use following a huge disappointment I got on my event #PandaTurnUp last Saturday because of the heavy rains that started from 11am to 4:30pm [and] damaged some speakers [and] also sabotaged the whole event," he said in a statement Monday afternoon.

According to Panda, "the event was meant to end at 6pm" but the rains stopped one hour and 30 minutes towards the end of the event.
It is not "what I expected but life is like that," reads the statement. "You WIN or Lose... it's hard to fight nature... being a true believer in God, I had nothing to do but to instead just leave everything in his hands."
The event, which was to happen at Hockey Grounds Lugogo in Kampala, is meant to entertain teenagers and youths.
The TV personality-cum-singer thanked some of the revelers and performers who made it to the show.
"Thank you to Everyone that at least managed to pull up, Artists, DJs, mcees, sponsors and service providers & to those that got stuck somewhere [and] couldn't make it," he said.
"Sorry for the disappointment I owe y'all my loyalty for the love y'all expressed during my hard times."
Performers that were slated to perform at the event are Spice Diana, DJ Roger, Gravity Omutujju, Levixone, Feffe Bussi, Pia Pounds, DJ AliBreezy, Esco Zero, John Blaq, Jowy Landa, Kheem GK, Real Kenie, Suspekt Leizor and DJ Denno.
The 'Ndaba Bulabi' singer has announced another edition of the same event and it will be on December 10 at the same venue.
