It is rumored that Kim Kadarshian was paid $500,000 for appearing on Darey's 'Love Like A Movie' concert. Yeah, I said "appearing", because from all we gathered, she just appeared and disappeared and...clears throat... $500,000 (N78.5 million) went just like that. Shikenah!
According to SaharaReporters.com, the reality TV star, despite staying less than a day in the city of Lagos the pregnant star was paid a reported
$500,000 for her fleeting visit, leaving some commentators in the country infuriated.
The mother-to-be was billed a whooping $500,000 to
'co-host' the 'Love Like A Movie' concert with Nigerian R’n'B crooner Darey Art-Alade, for which tickets cost N100,000, or $640.
But Kim isn't the only American Lady Celeb too have been billed to feature on a Nigerian stage. In 2012 Keri Hilson was flown into the country for
Face Of Sofa Lounge event which was held in Abuja. She even danced 'Azonto' and 'Etighi' to D'banj's 'Oliver Twist' and some other Nigerian jamz. Even Brandy was also in Nigeria in October, 2011 for the opening show of the
MTN Project Fame Season 4. And they both featured immensely at their respective shows for which they were billed.
So, I really don't know what deal was. Her fans who were burning with anticipation of her arrival and eventual appearance are now cold in disappointment. One actually said she "came, disappointed us and just left."
But even if she spent barely 45 second on the stage and 'disappeared' with $500,000 (N78.5 million), I think it was probably the deal she had with the organizers, in the first place. I don't think they'd have allowed her leave just like that if that wasn't the case.
Or what do you guys think, was paying Kim $500,000 (N78.5 million) for just 45 seconds on stage worth it?
