“Certain individuals in the media have been giving false, unprofessional and unfortunate reports that our artistes for the 2019 UNAA Convention were denied visas. Let’s clear this up; the only official UNAA Convention will be the biggest UNAA Convention ever. August 29 to September 1st 2019. Featuring the best artiste lineup, international DJs and all new business and networking forum. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago,” they said.
