Entertainment pundit, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboahfoh, has rubbished the list of supposed rates paid to musicians who appeared at the 40th birthday party of Ghanaian businessman, Richard Nii Armah Quaye.
Speaking on Entertainment Guide on the Ghanaian television channel, DGN, the veteran critic said the birthday celebrant, Richard Quaye, is not ‘Father Christmas’ to throw such figures around.
Boadu-Ayeboafah opined that musicians like Diamond Platnumz and Davido, who attended the event, had their expenses taken care of and were paid a fee. He added that the fee was likely a token but not a commercial rate.
In the wake of a recent birthday party organized by the founder/owner of Bills Micro-Credit, Richard Quaye, to celebrate his 40th birthday, reports emerged that foreign artists such as Davido and Diamond Platnumz were paid $600,000 for their performances and that Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, and other local artists received circa $250,000.
Reacting to those claims, the pundit described Quaye’s party, dubbed #RANQ40 as a networking event rather than a simple birthday party, adding that the people who attended were more interested in building a relationship with the wealthy Quaye rather than charging him for a program.
