AS if the MAMAs was not successful enough for the US rapper Rick Ross, he still ended up getting paid $100,000 (US) in a deal that was brokered on the night (11th Dec) of the 2010 MAMAs in Lagos, to perform at a 10 year old’s birthday party in Abuja.
100,000 big ones! Who are his parents?! The news was tweeted by his official DJ – DJ Sam Sneak, who accompanied him to Lagos for his MAMAs performance. Rick his entourage were flown to Abuja Sunday afternoon to surprise little Igho. I hope MTV cameras were on hand to capture it all go down…this is definitely one for Sweet 16 10 – Naija Edition!
As if that wasn't enough, on Dec 27, 2010 all roads will lead to the Eko Hotel, Lagos, where Kilimanajro Entertainment in association with Storm 360 are organising the “Lagos Shut Down Concert” with Rick Ross.
This concert is headlined by the Teflon Don himself - Rick Ross - ably supported by some of Naija's finest - two of the finest emcee's Africa has to offer back him up with MI locked and loaded and Naeto Super C primed to explode. Also on the bill are Dr. Sid who will bring his infectious hits to the table, “Oleku” crooner himself, Ice Prince, YQ and the emerging young superstar Whiz Kid. Also on the bill is Iyanya – the 1st MTN Project Fame West Africa winner performing his new release “I’m the One”
I guess Nigeria is the next treasure hunt for American artists, as Rick Ross is not the first and wont be last to reap more than what beats the eyes in few days from a country labeled as a third world country were 70% of the population lives below the poverty line, living on less than a $1 a day.
