Few days after an amazing performance that rocked Eko Hotel & Suites, sources from Lagos have revealed how much American singer Mary J Blige got paid just for one night visit.
Insiders claim Nigeria’s telecommunication giant Etisalat paid the R & B singer .5 million dollars for her performance at the Sisters with soul concert.
With N15, 000 being the minimum gate fee for the show, the crowd moderation intended by the organisers was achieved. But the entire space in the popular Expo Center, Eko Hotel and Suites appeared oversized for the elitist show, featuring American Queen of ‘Hip-hop soul’; Mary J. Blige who stormed Lagos last Friday for the Etisalat’s sponsored ‘Sisters with Soul’ concert.
The multiple-award winner and multi-platinum selling artiste took the audience back in time, dolling out her most loved songs from the 90s up until her most recent releases.
