Popular Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim has added her voice to the
chorus of those commenting on US TV reality star Kim Kardashian‘s recent
trip to Nigeria…
She says she doesn’t see why top Nigerian R&B singer Darey would ‘pay so much money and fly Kim K down to Nigeria just for a 45 seconds intro’ on his Love Like a Movie concert, which held on Sunday, February 17, 2013.
Speaking (more like venting) on her Instagram page, the pretty
actress said that Darey could have flown her in from Ghana and she would
have ‘represented.’
‘Ok here’s my 2cents! Been reading comments about Darey’s concert
and to be honest I don’t see why he will pay so much money and fly Kim k
down to naija just for a 45sec intro on his show, like seriously! Bro, u
could hv flown me from Gh and I would have represented! What did Kim k
do for the 45 secs ? She stood and told a senseless story, I could have
stood and told a sensible story about ghana on a Nigerian stage!‘, she wrote.
She also went on to say that African show promoters should shun
foreign entertainers and focus on working with more African talents.
‘Lol no hard feelings but its about time we start appreciating
our very own African talents then paying all these foreigners so much
for 45seconds performances. Check me out, way hotter than some of them
peeps una Dey pay big bucks for nothing better. #wordofadvice
#momentoftruth‘
But those close to the organisers say Kim K’s visit actually went how
it should. The reality TV star, according to the show’s producers, Soul
Muzik, and a TV drop by Kim Kardashian herself, was to be special guest
at a dinner with ‘platinum VIP guests’, co-host the LLAM red carpet
session and open the show. We’re told she also did media rounds, sitting
for at least two exclusive interviews, including this one with Beat
FM’s Gbemi.
Despite all the drama, Darey’s ‘Love Like a Movie’ concert is being
adjudged as one of Nigeria’s best events ever. And it doesn’t seem Darey
and his label are considering responding to all the speculation about
how much she was paid, or indeed, how much the big-budget concert gulped
in total. Darey tweeted this morning: ‘Can’t even keep up with all
these theories again! Which one is LASG paid dat insane amount for her?
Fallacy…like everything else u hrd lol’.
