Fabolous’ contract reveals details about his demands

Correction (Nov. 5, 2009 12:10 a.m.): Due to a reporting error, an earlier version of this story misstated the time of the Anoop Desai concert. It begins at 7 p.m. Sunday. The story has been changed to reflect the correction. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for the error.

Fabolous loves Snapple and fresh black towels, according to the Homecoming concert contract signed between the hip-hop artist and UNC.

The Sunday show sold 718 seats of the 1,400 available in Memorial Hall.

Until today, the Carolina Union Activities Board was unable to release the contract due to confidentiality.

The contract details some of Fabolous’ requirements, including a black sofa and love seat, two cases of assorted Snapple products and 100 pieces of chicken.

The contract does not reveal what the second Homecoming act, former UNC Clef Hanger Anoop Desai, will be paid.

“It is not as much as I got paid for the State Fair,” Desai said. “It’s below what I have been paid, but its such a great opportunity.”

Desai’s performance was scheduled after his successful act at the N.C. State Fair. His concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sunday in Memorial Hall.
