Boosie recently dropped a bombshell – the New Orleans Pelicans offered him a measly $1,000 to perform at their halftime show. Can you believe it? This Louisiana rapper, used to big bucks, was left scratching his head at the paltry offer from the NBA team. While most artists dream of gracing such a stage, Boosie’s revelation has us all in stitches. Who knew the Pelicans were pinching pennies when it came to entertainment?
Boosie was shocked when the New Orleans Pelicans offered him a mere $1,000 to perform during their halftime show. He couldn’t believe the low amount for such a big opportunity and had to turn it down.
Boosie felt insulted by the offer, considering his stature in the music industry. The rapper expected a more substantial sum for showcasing his talent at a high-profile event like an NBA game.
Via Instagram, the rapper said the team didn’t want to give him any courtside tickets, saying the organization “don’t f**k with me.”
From there, he spoke about being offered $1,000 to perform, and didn’t offer any courtside seats. Boosie then pointed out that the Atlanta Hawks offer up to $10,000 for performances, along with courtside seats
The low compensation issue raised eyebrows and got tongues wagging. It’s clear that fair pay in entertainment is no laughing matter, and Boosie’s call-out has stirred quite the pot. Reactions have been pouring in, and the debate on fair compensation in the industry is just getting started.
