Nigerian singer Iyanya has been
reported to have made an exorbitant demand to appear on a video of a song he
had recorded with South African based Kenyan singer, Habida.
Habida who is a recent act under
Kenya’s successful recording company, Gallo Records and Warner Bros could not
meet up to the ‘Kukere’ singer’s demands. According to reports from Habida,
Iyanya’s management demanded for a whooping sum of $4000 (Sh350,000) .
As if that was not enough, they also
wanted Habida to buy Iyanya a suit to wear in the video in addition to a
private stylist of their choice although that was not a problem as the Kenyan
singer was already using his stylist. “I’m not really sure whether Iyanya was aware of what was
happening. I could not meet those demands at that time, and so I have decided
to release the song soon.” Habida said
Habida has now rerecorded the song
with ‘Oleku’ singer Ice Prince, and ‘Kedike’ singer Chidimna. “Ice prince was excited when he heard the
version we did with Chidinma. Initially I wanted to record a different song
with him, but he insisted he wanted to be in that one specifically. I will
release the three songs soon,” she added.
In this day and age, it’s hard to
find artists who would do anything for the passion and love for music. Everyone
is after the money or nothing. His loss!
