Why I Invited Kim Kardashian To Co-Host My Concert Despite Her Many Controversies - Darey

 

 

Soul Muzik CEO and music writer/singer, Darey Art-Alade, has revealed the reason behind his decision to invite popular American reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, to co-host his 'Love like a movie' Valentine Day concert in Lagos two years ago.

Darey gave an insight for the first time on what informed his choice of the controversial American celebrity during a recent meeting with journalists.

The media parley was part of activities to herald the release of two singles from his forthcoming album titled 'Naked'.

He said, "I invited Kim Kardashian because people talk about her. So, bringing her here was purely a business decision. People say she is popular for no reason, but I always tell them that she has some talents.

"She is famous in her own right for some reasons. Apart from the fact that she is a stylist. She has a cosmetics and clothing line, too.

"Whether you like those talents or not and whether you like what she is doing or not, it does not matter. She is doing it, regardless of what you think or not. Personally, I appreciate people with that kind of mindset"

When asked what his perception of the reality star is especially when some of her nudes are circulated in the social media, Darey replied that he would keep his opinion to himself.

He, however, pointed out that "She didn't take her clothes off when I brought her here. Her coming was to play a certain role, which she did effortlessly. Some people that didn't understand her full job description would have said that she stayed for only five minutes or so. Why would somebody come for five minutes?

"She spent about a day here and gave exclusive interviews. I think Gbemi on The Beat interviewed her. Could she have done that in five minutes? But then, I don't think we promoted her as everybody's role model when we brought here. We simply said the red carpet would be co-hosted by Kim Kardashian".

The 'pray for me' singer also said it was unfair that people delighted in picking on Kim Kardashian just because they disliked her.

The third edition of the 'Love Like A Movie' concert is expected to take place before the year runs out.
