Why Burna Boy Rejected N1bn Performance Fee – Mr Jollof

Nigerian comedian and event organizer, Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, also known as Mr Jollof, has stated that Burna Boy declined a ₦1 billion offer to perform at a concert organized by him and some partners in Warri, Delta State.

According to Mr Jollof, they made an offer of $1 million (equivalent to ₦1.3 billion) to the singer’s team, but it was turned down because it fell short of Burna Boy’s usual performance fee.

This information was shared by the comedian in a recent update on his Instagram account.

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 the global music market. No jokes.”
