SONGBIRD Ammara Brown has cleared the air on why she failed to attend the just ended Change A Life Concert headlined by South African rapper Nasty C.

I’ll pay back the money: Ammara
The South Africa based diva told H-Metro that immediately after her arrival, she received news of her sister Chengeto being rushed to labour.

Chengeto gave birth to a baby boy christened Zayan.

“I was here to perform, I flew in with the team and we were ready to proceed to the show on Saturday.

“What ended up happening is that my sister went into labour and since I am her coach I had to be by her side.

“So it was a whirlwind of the whole afternoon into evening and she gave birth to a healthy baby boy,” said Ammara.

She said she could not miss her nephew’s birth or trade it for anything else in the world.

“My family has had a number of deaths for past seven years and this is the first time new life has come into our family.

“It meant more to me than anything in the world, I would not have missed my nephew’s birth for anything and anybody

“I love him already and you can’t buy that, I am so excited the family is growing again,” she said.

Ammara said she is giving back her performance fee and will donate a further $1000 towards the orphans.

“I am giving them back the payment that they had made to me and will donate another $1000 towards the children.

“I really was passionate about the show because it is also about those vulnerable children but of course family first.

“I am a family woman and I don’t always talk about it but that is the God honest truth,” she said.
