Hey Neighbour controversies
Since its inception in December 2023, the beloved three-day music festival has had a successful debut with international acts such as Kendrick Lamar, HER, Rema and Khalid.
Like the curation of most major events, it did not go down without some ups and downs as well as disappointments.
Nigerian artist Rema, who was set to headline day two of the music festival alongside rapper Kendrick Lamar, had to be removed from the line-up after cancelling all his December performances.
Initially, the event was scheduled for a full weekend, but it was recently trimmed down to two days, August 30 - 31.
In addition to that announcement, they revealed more local talent to be added to the jam-packed line-up, but South Africans were not exactly forthcoming and were not shy to let it be known.
After the event organisers announced the addition of Holly Rey, many hopeful attendees expressed their disappointment, questioning who listens to the artist.
X user @Shaun_thefirst asked: 'Guys, who is making these decisions?'
'Bona themselves do they listen to Holly Rey? Have they ever picked their phone up to play a Holly Rey song? Would you leave your house to go listen to Holly Rey? Name me 5 Holly Rey songs,' he added.
In true South African fashion, Rey clapped back at the critic.
'My bank account, Spotify streams and multiple songs that have gone multi platinum, in more than just Mzansi, would beg to differ, but who am I to argue with a wanna be DJ who puts 'umthandi wegqom' as their bio,' said Rey.
Hey Neighbour will take off at Legends Adventure Farm, Pretoria. Grammy-award-winning rapper Doja Cat, United Kingdom sensation Central Cee and 'Mutt' hitmaker Leon Thomas have been announced as the international headline acts.
