“Burna Boy rejected N1bn performance fee” – Mr Jollof
Mr. Jollof, a comedian and show producer, disclosed that Burna Boy turned down a N1 billion offer to perform at a concert organized by him and some investors.
According to him, they proposed a $1 million (N1.3 billion) fee for the event in Warri, Delta State, but Burna Boy’s team rejected it, citing that it was below the singer’s usual rate.
The comedian shared this information in a recent Instagram post, writing in Pidgin English, “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 too because we didn’t utilize him enough before he was exported to the global music market. No jokes.”
