Chris Brown paid $1m for Lagos Concert

Chris Brown was paid at least $1m (about N156m) to travel down to
Lagos with a 15 man crew last week. The Grammy-winning singer stopped
over in South Africa, for concerts in Cape Town and Jo'burg, before
heading down to Lagos for the show. Financial details were not made
public, but found that Oando boss Wale Tinubu was a major financier,
as well as Etisalat , which provided last minute sponsorship. Brown
was to make a brief appearance at the Oando end-of-year gig, but
we're told that did not happen. It was Brown's second time in Nigeria,
the first being for a THISDAY Music Festival performance a few years
ago.
