Darey, who spoke to Saturday Beats, said he would not discuss the amount the American reality television star, Kim Kardashian, was paid as appearance fee, adding that people are entitled to their opinion.
He said, “Who knows how much they were paid? Actually I cannot talk about how much anybody was paid, so who cares? Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but we had a great show and that’s what matters at the end of the day. It was all from a dream. We just wanted to do something different; something to push the envelope and be creative. “Thanks to everyone who supported us in cash and kind and all the hard work. We succeeded. The concert took about four months from the scratch, it was totally an original production.”
