The CEO of Megalextrics Chris Ubosi is reportedly suing Rihanna and Jay Z over a 2013 canceled concert in Nigeria and their refusal to refund the money deposited for the show.
Ubosi says he worked with Roc Nation executives in 2012 to schedule RiRi’s appearance in Lagos in May 2013.
Rihanna’s reps agreed to a single, 65-minute performance on May 12, 2013, and Ubosi forwarded Roc Nation $160,000 to secure the date, according to the Manhattan civil suit.

But the month she was due to arrive; Rihanna’s reps said they would have to reschedule which they never did.
Since Riri did not show up for the show and his deposited money not refunded, Obosi is suing Rihanna, Jay Z and Roc Nation.
Megalextrics owns Beat FM and Classic FM.
Meanwhile, Jay Z’s Roc Nation is alleged to be planning to sign the first lady of Mavin Records Tiwa Savage. Jazzy and Savage were spotted in New York with Jay Z in a photo shared by Savage on June 7. What is yet to be clear is if the signing is including Mavin Records or Savage alone.
