TVC E. According to reports, Nigerian promoter, Chris Ubosi and his company, Megalectrics are suing Rihanna over a 2013 concert that got canceled.
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, Rihanna would get $425,000 to play for 65 minutes.
The show was supposed to go down in May and Ubosi says he made 3 payments, totaling $160k but then her camp asked to postpone the show. Ubosi says he agreed, but only if Rihanna posted the new date on social media.
In the suit, he says that never happened so Megalectrics pulled the plug, and demanded its money back. Since Ubosi didn’t get the cash, he’s suing Rihanna, Jay Z and Roc Nation for the dough. Sources close to Rihanna tell us her management knew nothing about the gig and the singer never collected a dime. Her people believe Ubosi is a victim of a scam.
A rep for Roc Nation said: “Rihanna, Roc Nation nor anyone associated personally or professionally with either party was in contact with this person. Unfortunately it appears Chris Ubosi was scammed. Rihanna nor Roc Nation collected any money for this event.”
