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
theaudience back in time, dolling out her most loved songs from the
90s up until her most recent releases.
The show, which enjoyed the partnership of Kilimanjaro
Entertainment, also paraded some of Nigeria’s top female artistes
including Seyi Shay, Eva Alordiah, Niyola, Emma Nyra and Ms. Jaie,
all performing their hit tracks to the excitement of the audience.
The craze for Nigerian music notwithstanding, the visiting artiste
held the crowd spellbound, and just singing along with her at the
prompt of every hit track, was an indication that Nigeria is one of the
singer’s fan bases. She could not hold back her excitement, as she
kept thanking the crowd for their love and support.
The 42 year-old singer and songwriter was clad in a mid-riff baring
turtle neck top, leather shorts and knee-length gladiator heels,
treating lovers of contemporary R&B, hip-hop and soul music to a
great moment that Friday, September 27, 2013. Etisalat had in
December 2012 led the sponsorship of a similar show with Chris
Brown tagged ‘Lagos on my Mind’.
After her two-hour performance, Mary J. Blige went on twitter,
thanking her fans: “Good morning Lagos. Thank U so much 4 the
warm welcome, love & support. I had a great time with U! Sorry I had
to leave so quickly. Love.
MJB”.
