DJ and reality TV star Tolani Baj has broken silence following backlash from an event promoter over her absence on stage during a recent show in Halifax, Canada
In a public statement shared on her social media, Tolani Baj clarified that she was fully present and prepared to perform, but a technical issue—caused by the lack of a mandatory sound check—ultimately prevented her from taking the stage.
“I was booked for a show, I showed up excited and fully ready to perform—there’s visible proof of that on my page,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, because a sound check wasn’t conducted (which is a standard part of my contract), a technical issue with the controller went unnoticed until it was time for me to play.”
According to her, the original day party was also rescheduled to a night event due to weather-related venue delays, compounding the challenges. She emphasized that had the standard sound check been done, the problem could have been identified and resolved ahead of time.
Addressing accusations of unprofessionalism and even theft, Tolani Baj said:
“It’s quite disappointing to be called names or accused of theft when I was present at the venue and ready to deliver.”
She also explained that she was only paid 50% of her booking fee, which she accepted as fair given the unforeseen circumstances.
Regarding the promoter’s claim that she blocked him, Tolani Baj said she chose to do so after receiving “derogatory comments” from him and his crew on her Instagram page, stating she took the step “for my mental peace.”
Despite the controversy in Halifax, the DJ noted that the rest of her Canadian tour has been a success:
“I’ve performed at 8 successful shows in Canada, all filled with love, energy, and proof of how good I am at my job.”
Tolani Baj closed her statement by thanking her fans and supporters:
“To my supporters, I value you. Your support is what keeps me going. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me genuinely.”
