It seems there a few celebs whose presence is worth a pretty penny on New Year's Eve!
And they will be starting 2010 off right with some mayjah $$$$$$!
Princess RiRi will be collecting a royal fee of $500,000 to perform at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, which will be her first concert in the Middle East.
"She was supposed to perform back in May [in Abu Dhabi], but she cancelled in the aftermath of the assault. This is a make-up date," said a source.
But, she not the only one raking in the dough!
Alicia Keys is getting paid $250,000 to throw a holiday concert in NYC!!
With the whole Kanye West / Taylor Swiftfiasco that occurred at this year's MTV Music Video Awards last month, the rest of the event seems like a blur.
But he wasn't the only one to crash the stage. D-list rapper Lil' Mama was also at the awards show and decided to jump on stage during Jay-Z's performance with Alicia Keys of Empire State of Mind.
And during a recent interview with Tyra Banks, Lil' Mama opens up about the incident and explains what she did and why.
Well, she tries to explain it, at least.
According to Lil' Mama:
”I don’t think it was as serious as everyone was trying to make it out to be…. When I was sitting in the stands I was very excited and I felt the connection, being from New York, being in Hip Hop… Alicia Keys being from Harlem and Jay Z being from Brooklyn and I was just so emotional.
I was really feeling it….I felt like I was being embraced at the time, Jay-Z was bouncing back and I’m feeling like this whole moment is happening but I’m not planning it to be a moment, it just happened.
I’m a dancer, and I definitely felt it. I wasn’t there to ruin the performance, I wasn’t there to bring anyone down or anything down. In that moment I kind of felt it coming so I just went with the flow.”
And has the lil' diva reached out to Jay-Z and Alicia to apologize?
Says the rude bitch:
“No, I haven’t, I have tried, I got management to reach out. I would like to speak to Jay-Z one-on-one, just to see how he felt. I would just love to apologize…It was never my intent to be disrespectful to anyone. I’ve always been a respectful young woman in this industry, people know me for that.
You can tell [Alicia] that I apologize and I definitely plan to work with both of them in the future and I hope this didn’t rock the boat.”
Bitch please, once you cross Jay-Z you're out of the game!
