Burna Boy Rejected N1billion Performance Fee In Delta Saying It’s Too Small – Mr Jollof

Nigerian comedian and show promoter, Mr Jollof has revealed that Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy turned down a lucrative offer of N1 billion to perform at a concert in Warri, Delta State.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, Mr Jollof said he and some investors, extended the offer to Burna Boy’s team, proposing a payment of $1 million (equivalent to N1.3 billion in today’s exchange rate).

The comedian, however, expressed his surprise at Burna Boy’s team rejecting the substantial offer, citing that it was insufficient according to the artist’s performance fee.

Mr Jollof wrote 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 oo because we didn’t utilise him enough before he was exported to global music market. No jokes.”
