DJ Mackus is crying foul play. The disc spinner who was one of the Evoke Night season 3 finalists has revealed that he has never received his prize money.
Mackus took to social media to express his disgruntlement. “On 28th November I was ranked the first runner up of the ‘Evoke season Three Finale’ but I was only left with a paper with figures,” he wrote. “What happened to the prize?”
Unlike the first two seasons where individuals were just given a stage to showcase their talent, season 3 saw talent compete for a big cash prize. From deejays to dancers to singers to poets, talents were pitted against each other over the different episodes which culminated in a final showdown held November last year where three finalists were rewarded.
The finale saw H2C Dance Group ultimately crowned champions, taking home a cash prize of UGX 2,000,000 and an iPhone X. DJ Mackus came in second place and was rewarded with UGX 1,500,000 while in 3rd place was a one Mark who was awarded UGX 1,000,000.
According to a congratulatory letter sent to the deejay, he was supposed to receive the prize money not later than December 15, 2019.
When reached for a comment, Timothy Bukenya, the team lead at Evoke said, “There is a delay because we postponed December Evoke Night and yet we must handover at an Evoke Night. Next one is February or March.”
