Renowned Nigerian comedian and show promoter, Mr Jollof, revealed that Afrobeat sensation Burna Boy declined a staggering N1 billion offer to perform at a concert organized by him and a group of investors in Warri, Delta State.
According to Mr Jollof, they approached Burna Boy’s team with a generous offer of $1 million (equivalent to N1.3 billion), only to have it rejected on the basis that it fell below the singer’s usual performance fee.
This revelation came via Mr Jollof’s recent Instagram post, shedding light on the high demand and value attached to Burna Boy’s performances within the entertainment industry.
“Me and some investors reached out to Burna Boy’s team for a concert in Delta State for One Million US Dollars (1.3 billion Naira today’s rate). Guess what? They said it’s too small.
“Burna Boy no dey Nigeria lane again oo because we didn’t utilise him enough before he was exported to global music market. No jokes,” Mr Jollof wrote.
