DJ Azonto has recently called out fellow musician King Paluta regarding his international performances and fee claims. The dispute arose after King Paluta boasted about his frequent travels and busy schedule during a recent appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz.
Contrary to King Paluta’s claims, DJ Azonto revealed that both artists were booked for a concert in Hamburg. While DJ Azonto demanded a fee of $20,000, the organizers were unable to meet this amount. In contrast, King Paluta accepted a significantly lower fee of €18 for the performance.
DJ Azonto chose not to perform under those conditions, despite travel arrangements being ready for him. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the work itself rather than feeling comfortable with a few international trips. DJ Azonto acknowledged King Paluta’s talent but urged him to prioritize the quality and value of his work.
The music industry is known for its complexities, including negotiations, fees, and the challenges artists face in establishing their careers. DJ Azonto’s statement sheds light on the importance of fair compensation and maintaining a focus on the artistry itself.
