UENR SRC Publicly Apologizes to Strongman Burner and Kweku Flick After Intense Online Bash
The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) has officially issued a public apology to Ghanaian rappers Strongman Burner and Kweku Flick following a wave of social media backlash over how the two artistes were treated during a recent school event.
According to reports, fans and students were outraged over what appeared to be unprofessional treatment and poor coordination involving the artists’ performances, leading to what many online described as a “disrespectful experience” for the invited performers.
What Happened?
Strongman and Kweku Flick were reportedly billed to perform at a major SRC Week celebration concert at UENR. However, things took a wrong turn due to:
- Last-minute scheduling issues
- Technical and stage management problems
- Alleged non-payment or lack of proper hospitality arrangements
This led to murmurs on campus and heavy criticism across social platforms, especially from the artists’ fanbases who felt their favorite stars were disrespected by the SRC and school authorities.
The Apology
In an official statement released on social media, the UENR SRC expressed regret over the incident:
“We sincerely apologize to Strongman Burner and Kweku Flick for the inconvenience and disrespect caused during their time with us. It was never our intention to treat our honored guests in such a manner. The SRC takes full responsibility and will ensure such issues never happen again.”
The statement also thanked the artists for their patience and professionalism, acknowledging the value they bring to campus events and the Ghanaian music scene.
Public Reaction
While the apology was welcomed by many, fans and students demanded more accountability:
“This is not the first time artists have been mishandled by student organizers. Respect people’s time and brand!” one user commented.
Others urged the SRC to put better structures in place for event planning and guest relations, especially when dealing with high-profile performers.
Strongman & Kweku Flick React?
As of now, neither Strongman Burner nor Kweku Flick has made an official statement in response to the apology. However, sources close to the artists suggest they have moved on and are focused on upcoming performances.
Conclusion
This incident serves as a wake-up call for student leaders and event planners in Ghanaian tertiary institutions. Inviting respected public figures comes with responsibility, professionalism, courtesy, and proper planning are non-negotiable.
Kudos to the UENR SRC for owning up and taking steps toward amends.
