Asake was paid €175,000 (50% advance) to perform in Abidjan with a private jet.

A few days to Grammy night, Asake requested that the private jet should come pick him up in Los Angeles, take him to Lagos, then to Abidjan then take him back to Lagos and from there to his next destination.
I had to cancel because I couldn’t take it anymore.

Ayra Starr was also paid €75,000 (50% advance) to perform in Abidjan, she was supposed to take a commercial flight to Abidjan.

Few days to Grammy night, she requested if she can get a private jet and I said no problem since we already paid for a PJ for Asake and he’s cancelled, so the PJ is available to pick her up in Lagos.
Ayra Starr said the PJ should come pick her up in Los Angeles and I said, no I can’t do this, then canceled her too”
