Abidjan show organizer narrates how he has to cancel Asake’s N50m and Ayra Star’s N250m’s show due to their inexcessive demands.
The show organizer revealed that Asake and Ayra Starr were paid 50% advance to perform in Abidjan with a private jet.
According to him Asake requested a private jet to pick him up in Los Angeles, take him to Lagos, Abidjan, and back to Lagos. However, the PJ was canceled due to the show promoter’s inability to take it anymore.
Ayra Starr was also paid €75,000 (50% advance) to perform in Abidjan, with a commercial flight planned.
However Ayra Starr requested a private jet to pick her up in Los Angeles, but the PJ was unable to do so, leading to the cancellation.
In his words:
“Asake was paid €175,000 (50% advance) to perform in Abidjan with a private jet. A few days before Grammy night, Asake requested that the private jet should come to pick him up in Los Angeles, take him to Lagos, to Abidjan then take him back to Lagos and from there to his next destination. I had to cancel because I couldn’t take it anymore”
“Ayra Starr was also paid €75,000 (50% advance) to perform in Abidjan, she was supposed to take a commercial flight to Abidjan. A few days before Grammy night, she asked if she could get a private jet and I said no problem since we already paid for a PJ for Asake and he’s canceled, so the PJ is available to pick her up in Lagos. Ayra Starr said the PJ should come pick her up in Los Angeles and I said, no I can’t do this, then canceled her too”
