Over the weekend socialite Vera Sidika held a lavish gender reveal party. The party was hosted in Karen and was attended by her close friends and family. One thing that however stood out is the fact that her husband and baby daddy Brown Mauzo was not in attendance.
All went presumably well until one of the service providers she hired, Comedian Akuku Danger, came out to claim that Vera Sidika did not fully compensate him for his services. Through a post on his social media comedian Akuku Danger claimed that the socialite failed to clear a ksh 5000 balance owed to him.
‘’VERASIDIKAPAY YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS?
Some of us it's the 'small money' that makes a difference in our livelihoods. I'm kindly asking you to pay me my balance of 5,000/= which rightfully belongs to me!’’
The comedian went ahead and explained the whole ordeal. He claimed that Vera sent her friends and security to kick him and his team out past curfew hours and promised to respond the next day.
‘’So this is what happened.
Yesterday Veracalled me (Amplitude Events and Marketing) 30 minutes to her gender reveal party to provide her with a Sound system for 1hour. We agreed on 15k. She sent me a down payment of 10,000/=and promised to pay the balance when the sound system gets to the venue (Fair Acre Boutique Karen).
Upon finishing my end of the bargain which was at 9Pm I asked for my balance Only for her to now assume she don't know who we are and instead sent a team of bouncers/Security, A group of her already drunk Lady friends and some guy by the name Victor to whisk us away making all sorts of insults at us. All this while she is standing there pretending to be on her phone. By Now it was already 1am in the night.
All this while we kept asking for the balance and By 1am We couldn't take it anymore and that's when she sent her drunk girlfriends and Security to get us out with a promise of "She'll see what to do in the morning" Till Now she isn’t picking my calls or returning my texts.’’
Akuku Danger claimed that he would have let the issue slide were it not for the disrespect he was shown. He lamented that the initial payment he received was used to bribe his way out of police custody as he was outside past curfew hours. He finished by pleading with the socialite to pay him.
In the recent past such cases of celebrities refusing to pay their dues have been rampant. In some outrageous cases these celebrities claim that they pay through exposure that comes with working with their brands.
