WHO CARES WHAT BEYONCE AND JAY-Z WERE PAID FOR A CONCERT 7 YEARS AGO?

Jay-Z and Beyonce in Nigeria 2006

Sahara Reporters has uncovered a document indicating that a million dollars of Bayelsa State’s poverty alleviation fund was spent by then Governor Goodluck Jonathan on bringing American entertainers Beyonce and Jay Z to Nigeria in 2006.

In a letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa officials, N150 million (approximately a million dollars in 2006) was released from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the first ThisDay Music Festival in Lagos.

The document came to light after a controversy was ignited over how much money American “reality TV” star Kim Kardashian was paid for a brief visit to Nigeria.

Ms. Kardashian, star of a US TV show about her idle rich family and who shot to international fame after a sex tape featuring her and her rapper boyfriend went viral, was reportedly paid half a million dollars for the 24-hour-visit last week.

Does anyone really care 7 years later? Can we not get Bey and Jay in the Nigerian beefs that is going to cost Nigerian fans the next concert? 50 Cent got N1Million too and so what if Kim got $500,000? Nigerians wanna see these stars and mingle with them. Just look at what ME and my pals Perez Hilton and Necole Bitchie became just starting as bloggers. You brand yourself, you become an item and they start talking about you. #SMH and fuckery
