Burna Boy paid me $100k for one-minute performance at his London show – Sabinus

Nigerian comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has revealed an act of generosity by Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy.

Sabinus revealed that Burna Boy had phoned him to prepare for a performance at his show in London but he thought the singer was only joking. He disclosed that the musician phoned him again two days to the show to inform him that a private jet would pick him up and fly him to the United Kingdom for the event.

Sabinus disclosed that Burna Boy paid him $100,000 for a one-minute performance and took care of his flight to and from London back top Nigeria. He appreciated the artiste for giving his career a boost.

“Performing at the London stadium was the biggest 1-minute of my career !! Thanks Burna Boy. Burna Boy paid me $100k to perform for 1-minute and still paid for my flight to and from London. When Burna Boy called me to come perform at the London Stadium, I thought he was jokîng and I just lãughed. But I was shõcked when he called me two days to the show and said, ‘My bro, pack your bags because a private jet is gonna pick you up tomorrow’”, he said.

“That was when I believed that he was actually serious so I ironed my favorite blue shirt and black trouser with my expensive shoe and packed a few things. On that day, I went to the airport and his private jet picked me up as promised. That was actually the first day I ever got into a private jet for free. When we got to London, I thought that maybe I was gonna perform at the after party but Burna Boy told me that I was gonna open the stage for him”.

The content creator and brand influencer said he almost fainted when he came out on the stage to face 80,000 fans.

“When I came out before 80k people, I almost lõst conscîousness because I’ve never performed before such a huge audience. Burna Boy paid me handsomely. I will always be grateful to Burna Boy,” he said.
