The negotiations were going well, and it seemed like Adele would sign on, but she suddenly withdrew without offering the brand an explanation for her cancellation. L&#8217;Oreal would have paid her\u00a0\u00a312 million, an amount of money that I cannot even comprehend.\u00a0\u00a312 million is equal to almost $20 million and about N3.2 billion. Good God Almighty.<\/p>\n<p>And she turned it down?<\/p>\n<p>Looka here, L&#8217;Oreal, I know you say that I am a nobody, but a nobody is exactly what you need. I have nothing to back up my previous statement, but it is imperative you know that I would do twice the work for half the money. I will be on time. I will be professional. I will not be a diva (unless you want me to be). I will not have weird tattoos in weird places. I will not be caught sexting or kissing some random man. I will not get into fights. And I will rock L&#8217;Oreal like it&#8217;s going out of style.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just so unfair that someone can have enough to reject\u00a0\u00a312 million, while some of us don&#8217;t even understand what\u00a0\u00a312 million means.
