Ruggedman is a nonsensical element- Promoter Ejiro Okhipwo fires back
You must have read Ruggedman's accusations about Abuja based promoter d Ejiro Okhipwo. Well, he had responded in an interview with Tatafonaija
Here is his side of the story
Ruggedman: CALLED ME: begging to be on the event list of awardees and performance with his so called backup singer on a faithful day. We accepted he should attend the event as an award winner and also do a performance for his fans. In this said informal agreement we on our own side are expected to do him a to and fro air ticket from Lagos for two persons, him and his so call backup singer, hotel accommodation, and feeding for the time they will be staying.
We sent him the tickets reference number(ZYRBRL-Aero contractors) and he came into Abuja on Friday the 25th of October 2013 and was picked up from the airport without delay. He was also checked into a classic hotel (Top Rank Galaxy Hotel,2 rooms) alongside other celebrities as agreed, with food and drinks on ground for him to enjoy a day before the event.
But unfortunately for us ruggedman refused to pick calls placed to him to get the N100.000 agreed upon by the two parties. In fact, Him ruggedman went ahead to even show some other artistes that also came for the event with him in the same hotel we kept him, that see, see, see the organizers of the event are calling me I will not pick, I will make them suffer since they have refused to see me since yesterday when I arrived, we really wondered why our own ruggeedman would wish to disgrace himself over a N100. 000 ONLY. At least we expected that he picks his calls and we talk on how he wants the payment to come to him, if we can invite all the Nollywood acts, artistes and comedians like him why should we not want to pay him a little amount of N100.000 ONLY.
Mr Ejiro,what are your final words
RUGGEDEMAN IS REALLY A VERY BAD PERSON THAT'S WHY HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WRITE ANY GOOD SONG AGAIN.
He will continue to go down as far as we are concern and this is because he is no more an A CLASS artist and we went ahead to invite him to be awarded JUST TO HELP HIM BACK ON HIS FEET AS A FORMER TOP GUNNER IN MUSIC but what we have received from him was him trying to insult our personality by putting up a very inciting news with the name of the MBGA event on the net. We are very sorry for him because he is going to pay the MBGA for all damages he has caused the event.
He was abandoned at the hotel in Abuja after the event because he refused to perform his own part of the informal agreement as an artiste so he shouldn't expect the MBGA to pay for his fair back to Lagos. He is a very nonsensical element and should be treated as such. This same ruggedman stayed in that same hotel on our bills from Friday a day to the event to Monday two days after the event. So we told the hotel to check him out once its 12noon on Monday the 28th of October 2013.
Rugged man will hear from us very soon, our lawyers will serve him for damages and he will pay from his nose but its funny the unfortunate thing is that even if he's sued he doesn't have a dime to pay the MBGA. He is a poor rat that should be down trying to be up again but contrary is the case because he decided to bite the finger that feed him.
He keeps fighting all the days of his life because he is a bad person, we appeal to all our fans to be clam and be good. Better things are still on the way for us all. We have decided to move Nigeria to the next level and the likes of ruggedman can never put the MBGA down. He is down as an artist and that remains his business.
HOWEVER RUGGEDMAN I FORGIVE U GO AND BEG GOD FOR HIS FORGIVENESS STOP TRYING TO HUMILIATE ME AS A PROMOTER, THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT USE ME AS A PROMOTER TO PROMOTE YOUR NEW ALBUM.
After the interview we asked if we could put up his number, so he could confirm the story himself, he obliged For more information you can call the organizer himself Mr Ejiro of the event on 08034523698.
