In August this year, Tarryn and Clairise who had come to Zimbabwe to perform at the Yoyo Festival at Alex Sports Club were arrested by the police for breaching a contract.

TxC were allegedly paid R560 000 to perform in Kariba last year in October but failed to perform.

Tarryn and Clairise are said to have sneaked out of Zimbabwe at around 2 am and went back to South Africa without performing despite being paid all their dues. Their accommodation was also reportedly fully paid for.


 

 

After reports of their arrest went viral, the duo released a statement giving their side of the story. They alleged that Dj Rimo Jackson failed to honour his side of the contract even though they sent him a contract.

TxC added that they felt unsafe and uncomfortable upon arrival as they stated that Dj Rimo misrepresented the event and did not provide them with any security.

The duo, however, denied being arrested, claiming that they were instead held hostage by Dj Rimo.
