Glo Fires D'banj For Demanding 4 Million Per Show by Baro(m): 2:38am On Jan 31, 2009 |
He had all the incandescent opportunity beckoning on him but he chose to blow them away like an undesirable gold-dust. The rave-on artiste, Dayo Oyebanjo, aka D’Banj who was recently appointed the Glo Ambassador and the lead artiste in the “Rock and Rule concert going on in some parts of the country with a very juicy spur to perform is already sulking after he was alleged to have been given the boot by the mobile communication company. A branded Land Rover SUV jeep worth over N14miilion was given to him as GLO Ambassador. And this, sources said was in addition to a tidy sum of N70million paid to him for undisclosed reasons. It is also on record that D’banj remains the only musician on the Rule and Rock concert trails who were paid upfront. So for the 18 shows he was billed to perform in, he was paid N36million at N2million per show our source further hinted. Like a pack of cards that have fallen apart, not only has the artiste been dropped from the concerts, he has also been asked to refund part of the money he was allegedly paid. And this money our source is in the neighbourhood of N18million. Like the famous Oliver Twist, The Kokomaster had hardly performed in eight shows when he sprang his surprise. Against the N2million he was getting per show, he wanted more via the letter he sent through his lawyers. He wanted N4million a sum he figured befitted his new status as GLO’s most prominent Ambassador. But what his lawyers didn’t tell him, GLO told him. “My friend you are indispensable”. And pronto he was like hot potatoes, dropped from the line up. And for this misadventure, he lost out and was immediately replaced with the rampaging duo called P-Square and Gango Aso exponent 9ice Sensing trouble when no reply was forth coming from GLO, he made a detour and sang a new song. “It wasn’t me” he chorused. “My lawyers acted without my consent” were his lame excuse. And so what if the lawyers had succeeded perhaps, his song would have been “I’m the Champion Bubbler”. Anyway we gathered that he has been running from pillar to post and trying every thing possible to apologise but that has so far not paid off. At the Rock & Rule concert in Ibadan couple of weeks ago, he was stopped by the authorities of Glomobile from getting on stage. Would have if you are a GLO staff? In his absence other GLO Ambassadors had enough time to thrill the audience. He was said to have angrily left the place unannounced (As if anyone missed him). Again at Akure, last week and smarting with the belief that his apology would have restored him back to the glorious relationship he once enjoyed with Dr Adenuga, The Kokomaster according to sources prepared to storm the Akure show in a big way. His plan according to our source was to put up a classical show that will hold even the GLO author ities spell bound. And again, he was told in clear terms that he could not perform. Meanwhile, we gathered that the CEO of the company, Dr. Adenuga has directed that he be replaced with P-Square. . Pundits wonder that the error could further plunge him into losing further opportunities from the communication company and even others. The much talked about customised phones which glo mobile intends to bring in with the crooner’s photograph may be another delusion for the music sensation. But one thing the telecom giant didn’t do Showtime gathered was invalidate his contract at the GLO sponsored CAF awards. “ He is on the bill and has been paid for it. He will be performing at the event and that’s for certain”. |

I think the action taken by GLO is a welcome development. Although, talent are God's given and as such Priceless. But, with the kind of business relationship the entertainment industry has been enjoying with cooperate bodies, proper 'checks and balances' needs to be put in place. Remember that time of the 'BIG ACTORS AND ACTRESSES' in the movie industry too. They were also cut to size with their huge fee demand. I hope D'banj would have learn his lesson. Anyway, 'no loonnnnng thing' |

If the artiste was an international one like them Jay niggaz and stuff, Glo would pay the money regardless of whatever contract. |
