US rapper Rick Ross got 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. On the spur of the moment . The name Rick Ross is not a household name here and I am sure the Parents of this Child had no plans whatsoever in hiring the Rapper who calls women "bitches" in his lyrics .
100,000 USD big ones! Who are his parents?!
Well they must be from Edo or Delta State or environs the little fellows name is Igho which is usually a short form for Ighodalo .when we get the name of these "loving"parents we will give you a holla !
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!
I will not bother calculating the Naira equivalent. It’s Monday morning & I don’t want to add to the depression I’m feeling about being broke (again!).
And they say there is no money in Nigeria…this is a country were 70% of the population lives below the poverty line, living on less than a $1 a day. well i calculated it out of sheer spite it is 15million Naira ! Igho You are one lucky kid just pray your folks dont go the James Ibori way (prison) or you might have to kiss your college fund goodbye any day soon son !
