“I paid him $60k and he refused to perform because the airline did not bring his gold chain” – show promoter explains why he got kizz daniel arrested (Video)
The reason the show promoter had Kizz Daniel arrested was because he had been paid $60k and had declined to perform because the airline had forgotten his gold chain.
The show’s Tanzanian promoter Nigerian musician Kizz Daniel, who was unable to perform, has provided his own account of what happened.
The Tanzanian police detained KizzDaniel earlier today after he was paid to perform in an event on Sunday, August 7, but did not.
The show’s promoter, who identified himself as Stephen Uwa in an interview with DaddyFreeze, claimed that Kizz Daniel declined to perform since the airline forgot to bring his bag holding his gold chains and stated he will not play unless he is wearing all of his gold chains.
The promoter claimed that Kizz Daniel’s manager, Paulo Okoye, even called him and begged the singer to perform in tears. However, the singer was adamant.
Since then, police have let go of Kizz Daniel.
”He said the airline didn’t bring his bag that is why he cannot perform because his gold chain is not there and he had a gold chain on his neck. He wanted everything.”
Uwa said he spent nothing less than $300, 000 on the show including $60,000 to Kizz Daniel as performance fee, however, the singer flopped everything. He said he was on his knees weeping and begging Kizz Daniel to perform but he refused.
”My company is new here. PaulO is the one I booked Kizz from. PaulO cried all night trying to beg this guy ‘Please go to this show’, he called in from America!
I paid this guy $60, 000 to perform on this show . I went down on my knees. I was like ‘Bro, you are damaging me. I am trying to build my company here. You are going to damage me’. I begged this guy ‘Save my career, save me”. I was on the table with Kizz Daniel for like five hours begging him, kneeling for him”
Stephen said the whole venue was damaged as the angry fans destroyed some of the items brought in by the sponsors of the show.
