Events: Surprise! Kim Kardashian To Co-host Darey’s "Love Like A Movie" Concert In Lagos!

She’s probably the biggest reality TV star in the world right now and her Nigerian fans will be glad to know Kim Kardashian is coming to Nigeria!

E! 365 has reliably gathered that Kim K will be the co-host and ‘special platinum guest’ of R&B singer Darey’s upcoming Valentine concert titled ‘Love Like a Movie’ which takes place next weekend, February 17, 2013 at the Convention Centre of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.

Guests at the concert will also see the famous baby bump that has put all the tabloids in a frenzy. We aren’t sorry we’re stealing her from Kanye West for a few days.

The 32-year-old ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ star has been to other African countries in recent years.

As announced earlier, the concert will feature Nigerian superstars 2face Idibia, Flavour, Ice Prince, Iyanya, and Darey to deliver what many say will be the valentine concert of the year, and one of the most memorable events in Nigeria’s history. Other hit-makers like Timi Dakolo, Waje, 9ice, Praiz and Naeto C are also billed for the concert, as well as South Africa’s Jozi.

‘We’re bringing together some of the greatest talents in the world of entertainment for a special evening where we celebrate love and all it means to us…Millions of Nigerians follow Kim on her different shows, especially Keeping up with the Kardashians, and we thought it’d be a good idea to have her co-host Love…Like a movie with me’, Darey said in a statement made available to E! 365 this morning in a BBM Chat.
