Nigerian gospel singer Ada Ehi Moses, widely known for her inspirational music, is facing backlash following an alleged no-show at this year’s Women in Worship Concert in Ghana. The artist reportedly received $5,000, part of an agreed $8,000 fee, to perform at the high-profile event but did not appear on stage, despite receiving a British Airways flight ticket and additional accommodations for her six-member band.
According to event organizers, Ehi’s team was flown from Nigeria and picked up from the airport for a soundcheck at the venue, then transported to an Airbnb arranged for them. Over the weekend, the organizers reportedly provided meals and attended to other arrangements for the band’s comfort. However, around 5 p.m. on Sunday evening, concert organizers were surprised to find Ehi’s band had quietly departed without notice, allegedly leaving the venue in a taxi.
Concert attendees, many of whom had eagerly anticipated Ehi’s performance, expressed disappointment at her absence. Meanwhile, concert organizers shared that requests for a refund were declined by Ehi, adding tension to an already charged situation. The story, reported by Caleb Nii Boye of 3FM, has sparked debate among fans and industry insiders regarding artist accountability and professional commitments in event partnerships.
