Nigerian musical star Damini
Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly called Burna Boy has been reported banned from
performing in event in the United State. The report according to leadership
said that Burna Boy was banned from performing at any event, venue or any form
of recording any where in USA & CANADA by US Supreme Federal Court in New
York unless he settles with the New York based promotion company Vibesland
Entertainment, LLC founded by Promoter/Producer Niyi Fatogun. ADVERTISING
inRead invented by Teads Burna Boy was sued by Vibesland Entertainment, LLC, on
allegations that he signed a contract for 2016 USA & Canada Tour, failed to
turn up, postponed the tour which put the promoter Vibesland Entertainment,
LLC, in serious debt in the United States. Vibesland Entertainment, LLC, was
said to have invested up to $25,000 US Dollars in preparation and facilitating
the tour. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads The issue started after the
promoter, Vibesland Entertainment, LLC, obtained USA Work Permit approval visa for
Burna Boy, then Burna Boy failed to honour the contractual agreement. The
promoter, Niyi Fatogun, hired professional entertainment lawyer, Takena Barango
to represent Vibesland Entertainment, LLC, on Wednesday May17th, 2017, at the
Supreme Court in New York. The judge ordered a court injunction on Burna Boy
outside US Tour, until Burna Boy Ltd settles the promoter for the financial
loss Vibesland Entertainment, LLC, suffered due to breach of trust. Burna Boy’s
Managment claims were that the Promoter didn’t pay the deposit as stated in the
contract between VIBESLAND ENTERTAINMENT, LLC & BURNA BOY LTD. Promoter
who’s the official tour agent for the 2016 Burna Boy USA & CANADA Tour
travelled to London, England with a cheque of $75,000.00 to meet Burna Boy’s Managment
for deposit of 10 cities. The promoter said when he got to London, United
Kingdom, Burna Boy’s Managment brought up discussion of a third party company
(AEG) which wasn’t part of the initial contract signed on June 29th, 2016.
VIBESLAND ENTERTAINMENT, LLC believed it was very risky to pay $75,000 dollars
deposit to Burna Boy’s Managment that’s already declared they signed a contract
with a third party for the same USA tour. At that point the promoter refused to
release the payment (cheque) until everything is straightforward to avoid
losing $75,000. As at the time of this press release. Promoter stated, “Why
would I give a cheque deposit for 10 cities worth $75,000 to BURNA BOY LTD when
I was told that a third party company (AEG) already took five (5) major cities
out of 10 cities agreed in the contract.
