Singer Chidinma Dragged By Benin Show Promoter Over Breach Of Contract

 Singer Chidinma has found herself in a contractual mess as a Republic of Benin-based show promoter, Romaric Boco, aka Air Dubai, is alleging that she breached their contract for a show in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Speaking with Sunday Scoop, Boco said upon Chidinma agreeing to perform at his show, she signed an agreement with another person. In his words; The promoter said, “I have reported her to the Interpol in France, Benin and the Nigerian police. I paid her N800, 000 in advance and also gave her manager, Rasheed, N200, 000.” The contractual letter between both parties made available to Sunday Scoop, said Air Dubai Entertainment would pay Chidinma N1.8m for her service to perform at Abidjan on Friday, July 27, 2018, at Mix Night Club.“The total sum of N1.8m will be paid in two instalments. The sum of N900, 000 will be paid to Chidinma prior to signing the contract agreement and N900, 000 will be pay to her at the Lagos airport when she is going for the show.”  Sunday Scoop contacted Chidinma’s manager, Rasheed Ogunsanwo, for their side of the story and he said;  “The event was done and Chidinma performed at the show in Abidjan. I have videos and pictures of the show. The people, who contacted Boco to hire Chidinma for the show, asked for a refund when they discovered he wanted to scam them. But he ran away with the money they gave him. I was in the loop from the start. I can give you the promoters’ numbers.” Photo Credit: Chidinma Ekile
