Sure you are aware of arrest warrant issued for Wizkid by Ugandan court for failing to grace the concert he was paid to perform in Kampala, Uganda? We are made to understand, through TheNet, that the Starboy manager - Sunday Are is working his way into resolving the issue.
Wizkid is currently in United States of America attending his health issue which was the reason behind his earlier inability to fly into Uganda from USA for the concert scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 3 at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala, Uganda.
Having been summoned to court on or before 16th of January, 2017, the Starboy management have moved to fine-tune their schedules towards resolving the situation without going to court.
"We're on it, we're talking to them, I need to know who sent it," - Wizkid Manager, Sunday Are.
According to the documents filed by the Chief Magistrates Court of Buganda, Wizkid was allegedly paid the some of $60,000 via his manager Sunday Are. The manger was further paid a brokerage fee of $5000 and $3000 being per diem (per day) for his stay in the country.
"Between 29th August 2016 and 29th November 2016, our client (Face TV) paid to Mr. Sunday Are, Wizkid’s manager the full performance fee of US$60,000, a brokerage fee of US$5,000 and US$3,000 being per diem for the days they were going to stay in Uganda."
Going by the complaint laid against Wizkid and his management by the prosecutor, which includes cheating, conspiracy to defraud and obtaining money by false presences, Wizkid might be sitting his ass in a prison yard for 11 damn years if found guilty.
The organisers of the event calculated their gross expenditure for the concert, including substantial expenses in booking and re-booking flights, hotel, venue, advertising and promotions for the concert, to be around $300,000 (about N144m).
Report also had it that over 25,000 Ugandans have purchased the concert ticket in anticipation of the Africa's biggest artist turning up for the concert.
Huge some of money in question with huge disappointment beyond the both party control. We hope they work things out and find a balance - Disagree to agree.
