Musician D flex, real name Abubakar Sadiq, was billed to perform last September at the Bolgatanga Catering Rest House as part of the post- Ramadan festive celebrations but the show was called off due to unruly crowd behaviour at the venue.
He, however , got the opportunity again last Thursday and he explored it to the maximum. Under improved security measure put in place at the Miss Upper East @ 50 beauty pageant, he delivered a good performance.
From the moment he mounted the stage till he left, the Tamale-based hiplife Hausa singer held his audience spellbound with songs from his repertoire. The crowd sung along with him and joyfully interacted with him on stage.
D’Flex, who has had stints with artistes such as K. K. Fosu and Ofori Amponsah, obviously excited with the chemistry between himself and the audience, went to the extent of pleading with the security agencies deployed to restore order at the venue to allow his fans to come closer to him on stage, a request which was obliged by the police personnel.
Also on the bill was Tamale-based dancehall artiste, Iwan. He who electrified the venue with his collection of songs. Bolgatanga-based gospel musician, Ernest Acheampong was also on hand to entertain the well- patronised event which dragged on well into the wee hours of Friday.
The competition to select Miss UE @ 50 itself was a keen one. At the end of it all, the three judges for the night awarded the coveted crown to 24-year-old Bolgatanga Polytechnic student, Ms. Bernice Laariba Kumassey.
