Despite the phone incident, this is the mind-blowing amount Chris Brown was paid to perform in Mombasa

For a while, A-list artistes refused to perform in the country choosing to go to South Africa instead. But Kenyans were pretty pleased when an A-list artiste decided to perform in the country.

Flanked by a regional artiste and local artistes, Chris Brown gave Kenyans a show they would never forget. But his concert didn’t come cheap as we have come to later learn.

Kenyans.co.ke reports that the promoters had to part with a whopping 90 Million Kshs for him to perform for 1 hour and 30 minutes!

According to the site ,close to the end of last month, Brown was paid 55 Million Kshs  ($550,000), which included 20 Million Kshs “travel buyout” and Sh35 Million ($350,000) down payment.

The remaining amount of 35 Million ($350,000) was paid when he touched down in Mombasa

 Other conditions included top-notch catering, tight-security and lush accommodation that included a presidential suite.

The organisers however say that the amount Chris brown was paid was greatly exaggerated.

On of thehe organisers, Ms Thandi Ojeer of Wale Wasee said that  “No, I wish I had that kind of money” before refusing to disclose how much Chris was paid by saying “That’s confidential information; it’s like asking someone to reveal their bank balance.”
