Dear Editor,
Publish this for me on your popular and respected media site. Slap Dee’s Move to refuse to perform for K3000 is welcome. He’s now mature and showing high level of integrity. It is shameful to get that amount of money at such a big event.
Most Zambian entertainers and musicians have no shame at all, they will take up any peanuts. I would also like to talk about the Zambian companies that are exploiting our Zambian artists, companies such as MTN Zambia and Airtel. MTN Nigeria pays artists as much as $400, 000 for an advert yet our musician can only get less than $2, 000 for the same Job. It’s really sad for our artists. Even to perform per show, Musicians like Wizkid were last year pocketing not less than $25, 000 per show but one of our best artist Marky II will only get $1, 500 for the same kind of Job.
It would have been better if an organization can be established to protect the artists from being exploited we would even see our music industry go forward.
From Concerned.
