The South African group was booked by the organiser for the event hosted on New Years' eve in Kanye. In what was supposed to be the first installment of the show featuring International artists being Blaq Diamond and Black Motion, sadly Black Motion was a no show. Initially the event coordinator, Michael Sebaka, said Black Motion did not show up due to 'unforseen circumstances'. This week when reached for a comment by Showtime, the event organiser explained that Black Motion were infact fully paid and they were supposed to arrive 30mins prior to their performance for sound and equipment quality check. "When the time of arrival was announced none of their numbers were going through although they spent the night in Botswana as they were performing at Cigar Lounge in Gaborone on December 30, 2022," he said.
Asked about rumours that Black Motion has split he said: "It is true that Back Motion split, originally it was Thabo Small and Rob Murder. Rob Murder has since decided to focus on a solo career leaving everything Black Motion to Thabo Small who has since partnered with Problém Child to form the Black Motion that we were expecting here in Kanye."
