I Was Not Paid A Dime For Dangote’s Daughter’s Wedding – Ali Baba

Ali Baba

 Ace comedian Ali Baba who earlier revealed he did not bill Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote to perform at his daughter’s wedding has agin made this known during an interview with Sunday Scoop. Ali Baba stated that he did not charge Dangote due to the kind of relationship between them. In his words; “Dangote is my friend and I chose to play a part in the wedding ceremony of his daughter for free. I have done a lot of events for him such as dinners, luncheons, award ceremonies, among other events and I was nicely paid. For instance, if (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo, calls me for an event, I would handle the event for free because of my relationship with him. If he then offers me anything out of the abundance of his heart, I would take it. I don’t see why anybody should raise eyebrows over my decision. Other comedians were there and they did well.”  On if he advised other younger comedians who performed at the wedding not to bill Dangote, Ali Baba said; “It depends on the kind of relationship each individual has with him. I’m not the one to tell anybody what to charge.” On if he gifted the new couple anything, the ace comedian said his presence is enough gift. “I was there and I believe that the best present you can give anybody is your presence.”  Photo Credit: Getty
