Nigerian entertainer Akanimo Clement, popularly known as AK Smuth, has completed an ambitious four-day tour across East Africa, delivering performances in Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya in what organisers described as a major achievement for African nightlife entertainment.
The tour, tagged “Zero Gravity,” saw the hype man and performer move from one country to another on consecutive days, performing before packed audiences in different nightlife venues across the region.

The journey began in Dar es Salaam on day one before moving to Kigali on day two. On the third day, the crew performed in Kampala before concluding the tour in Nairobi on the fourth day.
According to crew members, the tour required intense travel coordination, quick turnarounds between flights and performances, and constant movement across borders within 96 hours.
