Timmy Dat |

Rule number (1) of performance etiquette says ' While on stage, act as professionally as possible. If mistakes are made make every attempt not to call attention to it.'
The Welle Welle hit maker ,they say, is turning out to be Kenya's top lady's man not forgetting his grand entry at 10 Over 10 show hosted by Willis Raburu on Citizent Tv, late last year.The much talked about show elevated his career to a whole new level . Analysts claim that ditching Pacho Entertainment for Kaka Empire could be more of a business thingies than a fallout hence fans should not worry. You wanna know why? Rapdamu in one of his latest songs says "Wanauliza ka bado nabonga na Timmy .Nawajibu, Kwani boss iko nini' .Sounds like a parable with a hint though.
Enough of Timmy and Rapdamu.Lets get back to Timmy.

Rule number (4) of performance etiquette says , 'Help others by setting a good example. Stay quiet. Keep focused' .
In 2016 alone Timmy Dat graced numerous shows among them being the official MC of Safaricom's BLAZE .Bonyeza Star however was keen on the kind of shoddy performance Timmy Dat gave to his Rongo University fans the same year.
The artiste arrogantly commanded the event organizers to send him a wireless microphone to his car .Soon after he bounced on stage in a shirt and a mini-shirt on the inside while shouting Punda ! Punda ! Punda ! Loudly on microphone.I guess the guy was trying to release stress or anger by abusing his fans.Immediately Timmy took off his shirt and held it , with fans thinking it would be thrown to them.He then commanded one of the upcoming artistes to take the shirt back to the car claiming "Hii shati ni expensive sana sieziwarushia ivo Punda ! " Oh my goodness how dare you trail abuses to people you expect to cheer you on stage.People you depend on for a living.
Rule number (7) of performance etiquette says , 'Show appreciation for the efforts of other groups . Be respectful.'
August Alsina |
I think you all remember just recently when August Alsina was performing at the Freebandz Music Fest in Baton Rouge, Louisianna, when he invited a girl on stage so he could serenade her and it turned out to be a sexual assault.
Or in the case of Parker Cannon when a Video emerged from a gig in Toronto where a girl was kicked off the stage face-first into the crowd by the lead singer for taking a selfie.
It doesn't end there for Timmy anyway .The star decided not to perform at all,all he did was do a chorus and half a verse for every song the Dj played.The Dj too didn't wear a happy face after being put through such a frustrating marathon.Thirty minutes later or so Timmy was done.He left the stage when his song was still playing.Left without goodbye .He left at a time least expected.To make it worse he left with the microphone to his car prompting the even organizers to run after him to get back the microphone before he sped off..
I think in one word Timmy looked down upon his audience forgetting superstars rise and fall.One time they ride so high,one time they cant put up with ridiculous utterances from the same fans .

My point is that ,an artiste can do anything as far as spicing up his performance is concerned but abusing fans and making fan of them is the worst a performing act can ever do.Let's assume Timmy Dat was drunk anyway ! next time kumbuka bangi si wheetabix na pombe si maji
