Yesterday, American pop star, Chris Brown and Wizkid
performed in Kenya as headliners at the Mombasa Rocks concert.
On his arrival, Chris Brown met controversy when fans alleged that he smashed a fan’s mobile phone at the airport for attempting to take a selfie with him.
The rumours died down and the show went on as planned, but fans are currently not happy with the fact that Chris Brown was paid a whooping sum of 90 million Kenyan Shillings (N279million) for his 90-minute performance in Mombasa.
Chris Brown arrived Kenya aboard a private jet with a 21-man crew.
Though Wizkid got a mouth watering amout, It’s still not clear how much he was paid but according to a contract obtained by Kenya’s NTV, Chris Brown earned one million Kenyan Shilling for his 90-minute performance.
Further investigations revealed that the concert organisers didn’t make money from the event.
An estimated 15,000 people were expected but only a little more than 3,000 showed up and pundits blamed it on the high cost of the show tickets which sold at 10,000 (about $100) for regular tickets and 20,000 (about $200) for VIP tickets.
Check out selected comments about the show below.
Thanks @HassanAliJoho for bringing @ChrisBrown to Kenya, but these tickets are expensive. @MombasaRocks I don’t think he’ll even comeback— CHRIS BROWN ALLDAY (@jn_shine) October 8, 2016
