Post by: bigbodybeats on June 30, 2019, 15:01
I’m sure I’ve shared that I’m an AfroPop artist based in the USA! I’ll be opening up for Fally Ipupa before he performs on stage! Also the day before I’ll get to visit with him at the fashion!! God is good!!

Big ups my brother. Unfortunately I won’t see you when I see Fally at the Apollo

My tip to you is don’t feel pressure, which commonly happens for opening acts. Got out there and do your thing - this will win you fans of Fally and give you lots of growth and confidence. It only gets better from here on out

Due to situations beyond my control Fally cancelled the Iowa show yesterday MAWA!! From what I’ve heard from the Congolese community, and the conversation I walked into Friday before the concert, the promoters didn’t handle the business side properly... Apparently Fally charges 30,000 a show!

 So thats true then, i have often heard he charges between 30K to 50k not a cent less,if its true then i hope he has upgraded salary of his musicians,the 100 for each musician and 150 for tyson  kalombo and atele is unfair

Yeah, Apollo was $50k. He’s just like Koffi with how cut-throat he is with contract negotiations. During his last US tour many cities were canceled when promoters found out he doesn’t play. On top of that, one he’s performed for the agreed upon time, he wraps the show with the quickness as if he’s has a family member in the hospital

Personally, I think he’s getting away with robbery considering the quality of the shows, but what do I know

Promoters did good to cancel those shows. I mean Fally, Koffi and many other leader s who give 100 dollars a momth or every 6 months to musicians are just awful. Especially knowimg that they omly have the voice to give in a somg. No time making the melody writing the lyric and so on.
50k is even low for what Fally has reached usually big artists charges from 300k to 1m dollars
