Quilox nightclub explains clash with MI

The management of Quilox Lagos nightclub owned by celebrated entrepreneur Shina Peller has released a statement narrating the events of Saturday February 28 that aggravated one of Nigeria’s biggest rap artiste MI.

On Saturday Feb 28, MI took to his Twitter account to express his disappointment and anger at the management of the night club for the disrespect and embarrassment he suffered.

“In more reasonable settings. Whoever the manager was tonight should be fired!! By what do I know,” he told his followers.

“I do not think I will be going back there anytime soon. You just lost a customer.”

But the management of the club reached out to M I via Twitter with an apology and also asked him to foreward his complaint.

However, the night club’s approach did not go down well with MI, who was still angry for being treated like any ordinary customer. He responded “@ClubQuilox had the nerve to ask me to forward my complaint… LOL!!!”

Now, Quilox nightclub has released a statement clarifying the incident to the public.

“The recent tweets by Rapper MI has come to our attention and we found it necessary to address the issue. Quilox had a contract with Live&Unplugged on February 28 between 10pm-12am. Live&Unplugged contracted M.I as their artiste for the night,” it said.

“At 12am on the said day, M.I was still performing and majority of our customers were complaining and demanding the DJ as we had other events planned for the night. In the process, some customers left.

“However, the management honoured M.I’s presence by giving him an additional 30 minutes and informed his management that he would need to stop at exactly 12.30 am. At 12.34am, he was still playing. Our management, at this point, was forced to take a decision at 12.45 am and let the DJ start his set for the night. The 1st song he played was M.I – Bad Belle, to show no disrespect.

“Again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Quilox, however, is a business that adheres to its agreed terms of contract and respects professionalism.

“We accord all clients and customers due respect irrespective of class or status. In order to resolve issues quickly, we have a standard complaints procedure which involves contacting management directly or via email.

“As we look forward to continue to render the best of services, we hope to avoid scenarios like this one, but in case any complaints are to be made, kindly direct them to [email protected]. We’ll be sure to respond promptly.”

No word from MI yet on his own side of the story or if he has accepted the apology
