Rap diva Lil’ Kim allegedly bailed on a series of London gigs

Rap diva Lil’ Kim allegedly bailed on a series of London gigs after pocketing her GBP 12,000 fee – all because she had a nosebleed.
The hip-hop star travelled to London for a string of appearances at nightclubs across the capital between November 7-14.
Abstrakt Visions Entertainment (AVE), which organised the gigs, had handed over the $20,000 fee upfront and promised a further $20,000 later on.
But they say the 34-year-old New Yorker pulled out of the first gig – at Den & Centro club – at the last minute, claiming to have suffered a nosebleed in her room at the plush Millennium London Mayfair hotel.
Lil’ Kim and her entourage then reportedly jetted back to the US the next day.
AVE says it is now considering suing the star.
“After this, no promoter in London will book her again,” said a spokesman for the promoters.
“We had hundreds of Lil’ Kim’s fans packed in the club and waiting to see her. They weren’t happy after paying up to GBP 20 per ticket.
“We got her the make-up people that she’d requested and everyone was waiting for her.”
However, Lil’ Kim’s rep has defended her client’s actions, alleging the real reason she pulled out of the appearances was because of the promoters’ poor planning – insisting they failed to give her a proper schedule.

Chris Brown’s sales not so hot
Nov 5, 2009 Chris Brown, Concert, Tickets Sale
It seems that the rapper’s recently planned “small shows for the fans”, with up to 2500 seats available, mind you, aren’t really attracting many of those fans Chris Brown claims to have. It seems that all of his upcoming shows for which tickets have been selling since last week are not filling up at all, not even those that have only 1000 seats. Things aren’t looking too good for Chris Brown right now… maybe he should try some new stunt with somebody else, get his publicity up and running a bit, see if he can in any way boost his popularity. It’s a pity for all those wonderful tickets to go to waste…
