In a heated exchange on Okay FM, popular gospel artist Sonnie Badu clashed with entertainment journalist MzGee while discussing financial aspects of his Rhythms of Africa concert.
MzGee raised questions about potential financial challenges and losses, considering Sonnie Badu’s previous remarks on limited sponsorship and financial constraints.
Expressing his frustration, Sonnie Badu challenged MzGee for probing into financial matters despite his earlier disclosure of the difficulties he faced with the concert.
He proceeded to outline the investments he had made and anticipated revenue from the event. The conversation, monitored by GhanaWeb, captured the tense interaction between Sonnie Badu and MzGee.
MzGee: Please, someone may ask, the concert that you held, did you run at a loss?
Sonnie Badu: Can’t you see with what I did I have run at a loss? What question are you asking?
MzGee: I asked because you said you sold tickets to about 6,000 people.
Sonnie Badu: We have not even sat down to check the tickets we sold or whatever, I don’t even have that time. I am talking about what we invested into the concert including travelling, plane tickets and others, I don’t even want to go there.
After complaining about insufficient sponsorship and lack of support, many have questioned whether Sonnie Badu made money from his concert.
