Nigerian comedian and show promoter, Mr Jollof, revealed that Afro-fusion artist Burna Boy turned down a staggering N1 billion offer to perform at a concert organized in Warri, Delta State. Jollof disclosed on Instagram that he and investors had extended a $1 million (N1.3 billion) offer to Burna Boy’s team, only to have it rejected, citing it fell below the artist’s performance fee.
In Pidgin English, Mr Jollof expressed, “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 the global music market. No jokes.”
The revelation sparks discussions about Burna Boy’s global stature and the evolving dynamics of the Nigerian music industry.
