‘Y’ALL CAN’T AFFORD ME, IT’S $1 MILLION PER SHOW’ – Burna Boy Blasts GT Bank Organizers for Using His Name Without Consent
The Grammy-winning Afrobeats star has publicly denied involvement in an event advertised with his name and image, calling the promotional material "fake" and stating his actual performance fee.
A major controversy has erupted after Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy called out the organizers of a GT Bank event for allegedly using his name and likeness to promote a show without his authorization.
The incident began when a flyer for the event surfaced online, featuring the Grammy-winning artist as a headline performer. Burna Boy quickly took to his social media to express his outrage and deny any involvement.
According to the artist, he had no prior knowledge of the event and demanded that the organizers immediately remove the “fake” promotional material. In his characteristic bold style, he highlighted the financial gravity of such a booking.
“Y’ALL CAN’T AFFORD ME IT’S $1 MILLION DOLLARS PER SHOW,” Burna Boy allegedly stated, making it clear that his official performance fee is a seven-figure sum.
He further strengthened his case by revealing a scheduling conflict, noting that he is slated to be on tour on December 18, the date of the advertised event, making the claim of his participation even more misleading.
The public call-out has sparked widespread discussion online, with conversations centering on the ethics of artist management, the critical importance of obtaining proper consent for using an artist’s brand, and the soaring market value of top-tier African musical acts like Burna Boy.
