Rotimi, a Nigerian-American singer, actor, and model, is set to perform at the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) but has taken to social media to express frustration over the loss of his luggage on his way to Dominica.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Dominica Festivals Committee (DFC), Rotimi is bringing his “captivating blend of R&B and Afrobeat” to the festival on day one.<\/span><\/p>\n However, just one day before the festival’s start, Rotimi aired his grievances online, seemingly placing the blame for the missing luggage on Dominica. “THEY LOST MY LUGGAGE,” he wrote in all caps, followed by an angry, cursing emoji. In a mix of lower and uppercase letters, he added, “I’m trying to be positive and keep a smile on my face and the vibes in my soul. BUT THEY LOST MY BAGS….Imagine traveling since 4 a.m. and then landing 18 hours later with flight connections and delays, ONLY TO LEARN YOUR BAG[S] AREN’T THERE.”<\/span><\/p>\n Rotimi’s social media post implied that Dominica was at fault for the mishap: “DOMINICA…I love you but in our newly started relationship we just had our first fight….now someone please help find my bag and let’s make up,” he wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0exact\u00a0airline\u00a0involved\u00a0was\u00a0not\u00a0mentioned\u00a0in\u00a0Rotimi’s\u00a0post,\u00a0leading\u00a0to\u00a0mixed\u00a0reactions\u00a0from\u00a0social\u00a0media\u00a0users.\u00a0One\u00a0commenter\u00a0wrote,\u00a0“So\u00a0how\u00a0is\u00a0Dominica\u00a0to\u00a0blame?\u00a0It\u00a0must\u00a0be\u00a0air\u00a0Dominica…\u00a0nonsense.”\u00a0Another\u00a0added,\u00a0“So\u00a0Dominica\u00a0lost\u00a0his\u00a0bags??\u00a0Not\u00a0the\u00a0airline\u00a0his\u00a0people\u00a0have\u00a0to\u00a0contact?\u00a0..\u00a0mind\u00a0he\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0get\u00a0a\u00a0quiet\u00a0crowd\u00a0when\u00a0he\u00a0goes\u00a0on\u00a0stage.”<\/span><\/p>\n The Dominica Festivals Committee and the Discover Dominica Authority have so far, not commented on the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n The WCMF, one of the island’s signature events during the Independence Season, will run from October 25 to 27, 2024 this year and will feature a range of musical styles including bouyon, cadence, reggae, dancehall, zouk, kompa, soca, and afrobeats.<\/p>\n Rotimi’s misplaced blame on Dominica has created some stir among Dominica’s online community, but despite the luggage issue, festival-goers remain excited for his performance and the hope is that the matter will be resolved swiftly.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rotimi, a Nigerian-American singer, actor, and model, is set to perform at the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) but has taken to social media to express frustration over the loss of his luggage on his way to Dominica.\u00a0 According to…","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":331513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,8,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-331511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-entertainment","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
