If you were not at the highly publicised Bovi man on fire concert, then you must have missed what many regard as the most exhilarating show of the year. As usual, Cecil Hammond, the CEO of Flytime Entertainment pulled another string with the concert which had American superstars Ja Rule and Ashanti performing to the excitement of teeming fans. It was Ashanti and Ja rule’s first performance together in 7 years. The show which held on Friday October 3rd 2014, at the expo hall of Eko hotel and suite had comedian, Basketmouth as the host.
“ it was more of a comedy show than a music concert. Many people didn’t expect Bovi to do what he did that night. I knew what I wanted and I had him groom himself for a nonstop comedy show that lasted for over one hour. I did put in my best for this and I look forward to doing something bigger than this soon. We are all used to having several comedians and music stars gracing the stage in one night but for me it’s becoming boring. I am building new concepts and am glad people are liking it.” Cecil says. Speaking further on the concert he said “ I have received a lot of messages and calls that it was a brilliant show. I couldn’t have done it alone without the team at Flytime entertainment and of course Bovi’s commitment. We did put a lot of effort in the lighting, set design , sound , event coordination etc and that really worked for us. It not about the money I spent but the end result”
