Top band in Kenya, have been forced to cancel a video shoot after they learnt that their models would be paid using food and fare only.
Before it was not clear what their producer would pay the models Sauti Sol had even given a green light and advertised it on the social media.

It is true that the models would have gotten a mileage by appearing on the same video with the award winning band, but this was another illustration on how the poor young Kenyans have been continually exploited.
Sauti Sol condemned the organizers and cut short their contract immediately
We have been made aware of an email going around asking models to appear in a Sauti Sol dance video production for no compensation. The production email address it was sent from is often used by 3rd party contractors and in this case they clearly got it all wrong. pic.twitter.com/kfVAr2eiAn

(Continued) We believe in fair compensation for all work in the entertainment industry and do not condone the “exposure” speak. We believe our track record speaks for itself. Needless to say, we have terminated our contract with the production company involved. Apologies. pic.twitter.com/izRGE3U9PS
