Top Trending News Today:






Promoter K2 has responded to Mary Boyoi’s claim that she wasn’t paid for her performances at Together for Peace concerts in Aweil and Wau early this year.


The singer on Monday blasted K2 and his sister Achai Wiir in a social media post and threatened them to go LIVE on Facebook about the matter.


K2 has now responded to Mary Boyoi claims with ‘evidences’ that Mary Boyoi was indeed paid for her services.




According to K2, Mary was paid the agreed $1000 in Juba for a show in Aweil and was later paid unknown amount of money for her performance in Wau. 


But Mary has denied being paid. She responded to K2 by saying the $1000 given to her was to “prepare herself for the show” and was promised to be paid the actual performance fee. As for the undisclosed payment for Wau’s show, the singer said Achai gave her $700 as feeding allowance and NOT the performance fee.


Mary has now said she will go LIVE at 5PM today to play voice recordings of Achai Wiir promising to pay her “as soon as she got the money she was following up.”


She has threatened to pursue the matter legally if she isn’t paid her dues.


Singer, human rights activist and aspiring politician from the Murle tribe of Southern Sudan. She was born in Malakal, Sudan in 1980, three years before the Second Sudanese Civil War erupted.


In 2005 she founded ABONA International, a small non profit organization aimed at supporting peace initiatives throughout Southern Sudan and providing assistance to women in violent and destructive situations. In the early part of 2007, she released her first album, "Referendum", an album aimed at promoting peace in Sudan.
