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 Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
