Scroll down to read my rare defense of Beyonce in this situation.
Swiped from That B*tch:
You can hire Beyonce to perform at your venue, but she might not show up. That’s the deal with M2 club in NY so they’re threatening to sue her ass. M2 contracted Beyonce to perform at their club tommrow night to kick off her North American tour, but Sasha cancelled on them at the last minute saying she didn’t have time for a show, but that she would come hang out for an hour instead. M2 was not having it. They say they’ve already sold tables for thousands of dollars, plus kicked out over 100 grand to rent soundboards, wind machines and lighting and stuff. The club is claiming a “loss of reputation” in addition to the cash spent. The owner was all like, “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.”
Here’s where I defend Beyonce for the first time ever on this blog: Why should she perform at some hole in the wall joint even for $200,000 when that’s no money to people on her level? If rappers such as T.I. and Lil Wayne can command fees of $150,000 just to show up and drink Patron in the VIP, why should someone of Bey’s caliber perform for a measly $50,000 extra? These nightclub owners have lost their minds.
