Ayo Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has been trending on social media for days after failing to appear for his live concert at the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana and now more news on how much he was paid for the show has come to light.
Wizkid enraged fans after he failed to appear at the “Wizkid Live Concert” organised by Live Hub. According to reports, fans waited until 4 pm before giving up and leaving without seeing Wizkid.
According to details provided by industry insider Arnold Asamoah, Big Wiz also made sure that his lodging, travel arrangements, and other logistics were covered. Additionally, he asked that all supporting acts be paid in full before taking the stage.
Arnold Asamoah Baido has revealed, in a social media post, that Wizkid was paid $8000,000 for the Accra show.
He was also paid $25,000 as travel allowances.
“Travel Allowance – US$ 25,000
Plus:
-Performance fee for supporting acts

Results: lukewarm project, bad press, ruined reputation and possibility of refund.
