Celebrities / Gospel Artiste Rejects Multi-million Naira Liquor Deal by textjames: 12:21pm On Jun 18, 2010
GOSPEL ARTISTE REJECTS MULTI-MILLION NAIRA LIQUOR DEAL

A fast rising Nigerian Female Gospel Artiste named 'Deola rejected a multi-million naira worth brand deal with a Nigeria based Liquor company recently.

According to a very reliable source, 'Deola refused to be part of the company's advert and also be used to promote their brand of liquor produced by the said company.

We further learnt that 'Deola who also starred as "Sandra" in the Soap VICTIMS currently showing on TV was contacted by the company online through her Facebook Fan Page(www.facebook.com/deolaogunsanya) and got interested in her for the said deal only for her to reject the multi-million Naira worth deal.

When contacted through her Manager, the story was confirmed and the Manager has this to say when asked why such a deal was rejected talking about the worth of the deal;"'Deola is a Gospel Artiste and it will be definately be out of focus for a Gospel Artiste like 'Deola to forget the brand she is representing and go with a conflicting brand like that of a liquor company. She is focused to remain strictly Gospel. If it were to be for a soft drink deal, she would have considered the offer."

Her Manager further said that he does not see the offer as a temptation to shift focus being strictly Gospel as 'Deola will never confuse her brand as a Gospel Artiste as it is with the norms of some Gospel Artistes.

It would be recalled that a Female Gospel Artiste also recently rejected performing at an Idol festival. How long will they resists all these temptations? Will they continue to be like Jesus Christ in that bible? Only time will tell.
