Duncan Mighty Failed To Appear At Concert After Collecting N3.6m, Jackson Ude Alleges
Jackson Ude, a former Director of Strategy and Communications under President Goodluck Jonathan, has accused Popular musician, Duncan Mighty of fraud.
Ude in a tweet on his Twitter page alleged that Duncan Mighty failed to perform at a show after he was paid N3 million and N630.000.00 for flight tickets.
He said the self-acclaimed Port Harcourt First Son lied he was involved in an accident and was notorious for collecting money from show promoters and not showing up.
Recall that on January 2 the Rivers State-born musician claimed that he was involved in an accident while travelling to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
He had claimed that the vehicle drove straight into the river after a failed brake.
But, Ude urged the singer to return his money and avoid his trouble.
He wrote, “I paid Duncan Mighty N3million for Nkporo Youths Unity Concert that held on December 30, 2021, and an additional N630,000 for flight tickets. He didn’t show up for the concert. Next, I heard was a picture of him wrapped in bandages claiming an accident while holding his cell phone.
“Duncan Mighty has become notorious for collecting money from show promoters and not showing up. He did that with a show in Uromi, Uyo and other places.
“I am not one who would want to deal with folks in the entertainment industry. Duncan should avoid my troubles and pay me back”, he said.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
