They also say she was paid N3million for the event and will seek legal means to resolve the issue...
"Arrangements for this event were already concluded, as both parties agreed to put out publications for the event after an advanced payment was made to Miss Hilda Bassey.
"However, Hilda Bassey suddenly denied publicly having any prior knowledge of the event. Her conduct has negatively affected our reputation as a brand. Consequently, we are taking all necessary legal steps towards ensuring that justice is seen to have been done in this matter."
The management also shared the receipt of N3m paid to Baci.
Hilda has also responded with receipts. I’m glad she kept receipts.
ReplyDeleteHow can you charge people 25k for a meet and greet with Hilda Bassey?
ReplyDeleteA whole 25k in this harsh economy!!
She did right by refunding the money and cancelling the event
Oh she did? Interesting. Then they should both go to court.
DeleteCompletely optional for people to attend.
DeleteIf there's a receipt. Why is she denying? Just like they said, they should follow the legal way and seek redress.
ReplyDeletewhy wont she deny it?
Deleteeveryone want to ride on this babe fame
vibes by ann service are even not too good sef
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteEeya, I think Hilda is more concerned in opening her body than any brand,she only uses that cooking to shoot her body into limelight
ReplyDeleteIf its a walk in the park shoot yours. Have a lovely day
DeleteAnon 12:01 if e easy, do am
DeleteIf na so the body pain you reach, go and do your own
Delete25k to "meet and greet"😲. I didn't even know "meet and greet" has a price.
ReplyDeleteBut they did not share the refund she made to them even before they started dragging her. She refunded them and even shared the chats showing she was against them collecting 25k even before the news went viral
ReplyDeleteShe may not be aware of them charging 25k, but she shouldn't have denied having an arrangement of the event with them since she has been paid. I also understand she has returned the money, that alone mean there's some connections between both parties. I hope they sort it out amicably.
ReplyDeleteThe length people go to make money off people
ReplyDeleteWatch clout, fame chasers run around her, empty people
DeleteI was at her live late last night and she is innocent in this case as a new born baby.
ReplyDeleteWhen they told her about the 25k she rejected it immediately and told them she can't do it. Same day she refunded them the 3m. Now they are not saying all these but saying something else.
She has all the chats, receipts and voice-notes of their dealings. Her lawyers have taken over the case.
They wanted to scam the public with her appearance but she refused and stopped them. Thieves.
What did she think the 3m was for? I am curious to know
DeleteI am also very curious to know how she thought the brand was going to make the 3million they paid her? It was meant to be a money-making event for both parties.
DeleteOnce you acquire a public "status", you cannot just sign or agree to any contract for money without seeking industry savvy advice.
ReplyDeleteBecause most of us sentimentise a lot of issues on this side of the world, we expect everyone to do the same. When they refuse to, we play the sentiment and other cards against them .
In this case, was there a contract? Did she sign? Did she read the terms before signing? What do the signed terms say?
If the contract is oral, what was said and agreed to before she collected the money.
These and maybe two other questions are the relevant issues.
Anybody can pay any amount to meet and greet. Further, an event can be only about her because she is now a brand and a status person.
The return of money paid under a clear mutually agreed contract does not absolve the breach. It only goes to reducing potential damages for the breach.
There is no sentiment in business. Even business CSR is profit targeted or at the best part of business. That is why big companies employ CSR heads of GM levels or higher.
This woman should get professionals around her if she wants to profitably monitise her success.
She may scale this. The next may pull her down or pin on her the badge of unreliability with contracts.
#TheLegalTrainee
Hmmmmmm @legal trainee you have said it all
DeleteLegal trainee. Same thoughts I had while reading the story and comments. It's none of her business how much the restaurant charges for the meet and greet. Won't they recover the money they paid her and other expenses?
DeleteIt is not by force, anyone who can afford it pays it and meets Hilda Back.
I hope her team are able to educate her on how this public figure things work.
I can imagine the disappointment on those who had planned to be there.
Legal trainee indeed, why not state it explicitly in the contract, why do it after?
DeleteLegal Trainee, I strongly disagree with you.
DeleteFirst of all, contracts are not cast in stone. There's always a Termination clause in every contract. In this clause, the parties will state the events that will be a ground for termination of the contract, and the consequences thereof.
However assuming there is none, contracts can be set aside for several reasons such as illegality, fraud, misrepresentation etc.
In Hilda's case, she can simply rely on
Misrepresentation.
As a legal Trainee, you know that misrepresentation is a false statement of a material fact made by one party which affects the other party's decision in agreeing to a contract. If the misrepresentation is discovered, the contract can be declared void.
Going by Hilda's version, the contract was only signed on the basis that people will not pay such whooping amount to see her. Upon her discovery of the matter, she promptly refunded the money, thus absolving herself of any liability.
Curiously, Hilda may even have a right of action against the event planners for defamation and malicious misrepresentation of facts.
Finally, there will always be a place for sentiments in business.
Cheers Counsel.
Congralutions to her
