“It’s Not By Being Big On The Internet”- Mr Jollof Reveals What Happened After He Tried To Book Burna Boy For $1m
- Comedian Mr Jollof has claimed that Burna Boy’s team rejected a reported $1 million, approximately N1.3 billion, offer to book the singer for a concert in Nigeria because the fee was considered too small.
- The claim has sparked mixed reactions, with some social media users saying Burna Boy has reached a level where his performance fee could exceed $1 million, while others questioned the circumstances surrounding the alleged booking attempt.
Nigerian comedian Mr Jollof has claimed that Burna Boy’s team rejected a $1 million offer to book the Grammy-winning singer for a concert in Nigeria, reportedly describing the amount as too small.
Mr Jollof made the claim while reacting to the alleged development on social media. According to him, he and some investors had attempted to book Burna Boy for a concert in Nigeria but were turned down by the singer’s team.
He reportedly said the team considered the $1 million offer, which he valued at about N1.3 billion, insufficient to secure Burna Boy for the proposed show.
Mr Jollof also used the claim to make a broader point about proving one’s success beyond social media popularity.
He said, “is not by being big on the internet, you have to show workings in REAL LIFE!”
The claim has generated mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians arguing that Burna Boy’s international status could justify a significantly higher performance fee, while others questioned the circumstances surrounding the alleged offer.
