The Bobby Taylor Company, Publicists for the "Music Meets Runway" event billed for July 9th 2011 put an end to all rumours that Amber Rose was not booked by Music Meets Runway 2011 in a press statement below...
"Early (on the morning of July 4, 2011), one of the major headliners of the highly anticipated show, Music Meets Runway, Amber Rose tweeted that she will not be coming to Nigeria to host Music Meets Runway 2011. Due to recent developments of Amber Rose's nude photos that surfaced on the internet last week, we were in discussion as to what to do about the situation with some of our sponsors who had understandably shown some concern (brand affiliation).
We were still working to accommodate Amber when we read Amber Rose's tweet about her not being booked to host Music Meets Runway. Amber has indeed been booked and paid for through a reputable International booking agent and we were shocked as anyone to see the tweet. This situation is under investigation and details will be passed as more information comes. The show, Music Meets Runway WILL STILL HOLD comes Saturday, July 9 at Expo Center, Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. Music Meets Runway is an event poised & designed to create awareness for the laudable and fledging growth the Nigerian fashion industry which has been placed on the international map in recent times. The event won’t be all about fashion as 10 musical artistes will also grace the runway, dishing out hits after hits. It will be a great networking opportunity for fashion industry, professionals including educators, retail buyers, fashion journalists, trendsetters and consumers. We want to assure the public that we are bringing you a great show with some of the most amazing Nigerian Artists and Designers and that this event will be nothing short of a phenomenal experience".
Clearly this should satisfy the curiosity of Nigerians as this situation made out to put the organisers in very bad light; I for one asked why Amber Rose, she is such a minor to decide that she will drag a Naija company down. Thank God the air is clearer now though; Plus i may have 5 tickets to give away... watch this space to get a ticket or two for you and another; cheers!!!
