The promoters also footed the bill for their hotel stay, the couple lodged at the super fancy Armani Hotel. Their transportation while in Dubai was also paid for.
If you feel $40,000 is a lot to pay, think again…the promoters more than made their money back, a bottle of champagne at events like these could easily go for $1000, and this does not include ticket sales. The pre wedding party was attended by the nearly every guest that was in Dubai for their wedding weekend and this does not include the Nigerians in Dubai who wanted to party with the Baloguns and their celeb friends…it was a packed house.
Paying celebs to party is fairly standard in the western part of the world, just ask Kim Kardashian who gets paid upwards of $100000 to party at some of the world’s most well known clubs. The reason why promoters pay celebs to party is simple, a celeb name is always a huge attraction for party goers, which equals more money for them.
It’s all about dollars and cents. And the Tiwa Savage & Tee Billz brand is a bankable brand.
