Nigerian singer Burna Boy and his manager Bose Ogulu have been accused of extortion by Gold Moola Entertainment, GME.
The founder of the company, in a statement issued today, alleged that Burna Boy was billed to perform at a nightclub in Houston, Texas but failed to perform after being fully paid.
He then goes on to claim that Burna’s mum, who doubles as his manager, asked him to pay an additional $10,000 before Burna would come down from his hotel room to perform.
He said he realized then that he was being extorted so he refused and Burna immediately went on social media to post that the show has been cancelled and then he and his team snuck out of the hotel through the back.
The show promoter said he has been asking for a refund of the $15k since Burna didn’t perform again but they have refused to return the money.
However, the management of the Grammy-Award winner is yet to respond to the allegation by GME.
