Nigerian promoter Chris Ubosi and his company – Megalectrics are suing Rihanna over a 2013 concert that got canceled according to TMZ.
Chris, whose company owns BeatFM,
Classic FM, Naija FM, alleges that he struck a deal with two people who
claimed to represent Rihanna, as well as her label Roc Nation and its
founder Jay Z.
For the proposed show, which would have
lasted 65 minutes, RiRi would receive $425,000. Ubosi asserts that he
made three payments totalling $160,000 only for Rihanna to request a
postponement. He agreed — on the condition that the 28-year-old would
post the revised date on social media. It never happened and Ubosi
subsequently axed the show, demanding the money back. When it wasn’t
received, he sued.
To complicate matters, sources close to
Rih tell TMZ that her management actually knew nothing about the show
and she never collected a cent. Should that be the case, it would
suggest Ubosi was a victim of a scam.
