Ghanaian musician and disc jockey DJ Azonto claims he is a highly sought-after talent in his home country and that he will not accept a payment of less than $1 million to play at a Sarkodie performance.
“I will not accept less than a million dollars to perform for Sarkodie at any of his future events,”He stated. His remarks come after he claimed to have received $80,000 to play at the upcoming 02 Arena event in the UK for Medikal.
The “Fa No Fom” hitmaker believes that he is a major Ghanaian music singer with a unique brand who ought to be compensated more.
“When you book me for a show, I will deliver value for the money spent. That is why I will not charge less than a million to perform for Sarkodie at any of his shows,” he said.
“I considered Medikal’s $80,000 offer because I consider him a brother after working as his DJ for many years, and he has been good to me,” he claimed. “He has already booked an expensive hotel for me and my squad, and we plan to rock the 02 Arena in a few weeks.”
DJ Azonto went on to say, “I was one of the few Ghanaian artists who could start a concert trend because of my unique stage presence and several successful songs.“
He has appeared on several important music venues, the most memorable of which being his upbeat performance at the Ghana Music Awards UK last year.
