Celine Dion to Earn $2 Million for Exclusive Olympics Opening Ceremony Performance
Celine Dion is set to earn a substantial $2 million (approximately N3 billion) for a special comeback performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, scheduled for July 26.
TMZ reports that this significant payment reflects the high profile of her appearance at the prestigious event. The renowned Canadian singer, who has been on a career hiatus due to her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)—a rare and debilitating neurological disorder—will make a highly anticipated return to the stage.
Ahead of her performance, Dion made a notable visit to the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris, fueling excitement for her return. This performance will be a major highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony and marks Dion’s first major public appearance since taking a break from her career to focus on her health.
Dion, now 56, has previously shared her deep desire to revisit Paris and experience the city’s iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower.
Her recent appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards marked her first public outing in some time, making her upcoming performance at the Olympics a particularly significant moment for her fans and the global audience.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
