@hotstepper you are absolutely right. do u know that even a disney animator makes about $70 dollars per hour. not to talk of ordinary sound track. plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I read that beyonce collects about half a million dollars to perform at personal occasions plus her dancing, etc how then will they pay tuface that much.... tell me something. they can just go and use a jamaican music afterall it also sounds african

hahaaha...eastcoast..we r in dda same level..as i said b4, he probably got paid 10,000 dollars which is 1 million naira PERIOD..

i;m feeling you for here hotstepper.

@ hot stepper i like ur username. i guess u can dance really good.

10x gurl..ma username..sum senior gurls 4 ma skool gave it 2 me..even a white perosn can dance more dan i can..i guess itz 4 another reason....itz a nickname..FILA DA HOTSTEPPER so i decided 2 use diz one here... ..10x sha

I see. did u go to fggc owerri

gezzeeeee gurl EASTCOAST, u r alwayz on da rite path but not right..i dig u ooooooooo..one of ma choices but neva reached dere

i think he would have made a lot more than just 19 thousand dollars plzzz ..... kennis music is in colaburation with the worlds second biggest music conglomerate which is Emi we are talking of a major hollywood movie.............and besides he collects more than a millon naira for performances in nigeria so what are we saying

This has got to be the most exciting news i've read all week. oh my! my song, AFRCAN QUEEN in a hollywood movie? it dosen't get better than that. i'm soooooo going to see that movie, oh wow!! and 2-face, i've said it countless times, but you make me proud now you all see why i adore the guy?
@ashbaby:Gee thanks

abeg Luridguy help me explain jor..@Ocho, yea we see ur man doin big things .._{can't believe i'm rootin for him like this}

Yesterday l went to watch a movie in the movie theatre and they showed the preview of "Phatz Girls " with monica and this cutie guy called Tunde and they were playing African Queen on the big screen live.

Me and my friends were like " all crazy like really 2 face song" u know what am saying, it sounded so cute and it was a thing of pride as per for the very 1st time as in 2 face song don reach hollywood.

NB: I don't think the guy is a Nigerian , the tunde guy , l think he is faking but sha the movie is coming out in weeks from now. So can' t wait to watch it .

nahh....he can and was neva given one million dollars...cos how much will the cast themselves or the guy that played Tunde Johnathan be given? heard he is from Haiti....u guys need to think it well...one million naira is believable but neva a million dollars.

and for those of u hating on the guy, he's done his part and reaping wat he has sowed....Psquare too should strive hard to make their songs go international. It is really a big deal that Tuface's song was chosen and not Psquare's....enways...lotta props to him and let the jealous ones go and release theirs....

i so much agree with busta cos if he is given $1m how much will the other actors take but anyhow that guy has made it

He aint all that but he's at the top

Sorry to dowse your enthusiasm people, that movie will hardly make $10 million return at the boxoffice, so how are they going to pay 1 mil for Idibia alone? Anyway check out other Nigerians on the cast

Congrat to him anyway. way to go.

waay to go 2face!!!waay to go nigeria!!

i went to watch big mommas house 2 n i said i was gonna come post this thread i guess i'm late

Here's a link to the trailer. It looks like it's going to be a fun film.

The guy is not really Nigerian though - his accent is definately not a Nigerian accent. lol

(although, I spotted NGO (www.getingo.com), a Nigerian model based in New York in the trailer).

cool i have to see that movie!

wow! 2face is going places....gooooooooooooooooooooooo tuface idibia

ocho:

@ashbaby:Gee thanks

*I bow down slightly. *
Anytime, Ocho. Anytime.

yea maybe it might not be a big block buster movie but i think it will really do well even if its just because of the song.......... but am sure the film will be off the hook .....am just thinking how far this african queen song is going to take this guy i thought the mtv awards was the last real international succes for the song but i guess i was wrong tuface doing us proud

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my baby doin big things

2-face is doing well. It's not the first time nigerian music has been used in an american movie though. Sunny Ade's music had been used before.

Sesan2,which movie?

i heared my song thanks logo! i can't wait to see that movie! ok, as for the Tunde guy in the movie,Nigerians don't talk like that.

am really happy for tuface,though i ha ve not seen the film nor its preview yet.but i say that gu y is going places.yeah psquare, they are hot, really good.i pray threy go places too.

the worst movie in america will make more than $10 million in box office, may be you are talking about the opening weekend. well as for idibia, congratulation on his achievement, he is now in the catecory of babatunde olatunji. but i am confused about the money, it can never be $1 million dollar may be N 1 miilion. the person should check his/her source before the rumour spreads too much

It couldn't have been $1 mill but it would be def more than N1 mill. $60 mill was spent for the movie Hellboy which is a big FX movie and seeing as Phat girlz isn't i doubt they'll budget that much for just one soundtrack outta the many they'll have. There's also the marketing and so on so i don't think the sourse of that gist is right since he/she can't remember if was N or $.<runs for the hills>

why do y'all wanna know how much tuface was paid? well i know how much. he was paid $10.00
