MYA EXPLAINS NO-SHOW AT BARBADOS EVENT: Rep says non-payment was behind decision to forgo scheduled club appearance.
*Mya's camp has released a statement denying that "diva behavior" kept her from making a scheduled appearance at a club in Barbados.
Reports surfaced earlier this month that the R&B singer skipped her hosting duties at the venue because she just didn't feel like attending. But a statement released Thursday by Mya's attorney blames her no-show on the event's promoters who failed to come up with her promised payment.
"A week and a half prior to the scheduled appearance at Club NXS in St. Lawrence Gap, Mya was informed that the promoter of this event did not have the funds available to accommodate her appearance," said the statement from her attorney Paul Gardner. "Despite this, the promoters of the 'Celebrity Party' went on to include Mya on the promotional material, and to announce her appearance on the local radio station. Because of the lack of funding, Mya was no longer obligated to appear at this event.
"Furthermore, in addition to a last minute meet and greet with young students and athletes, Mya attended a dinner organized by the local radio station. Unbeknownst to her the radio station had advertised her presence as the prize for two contest winners. Mya graciously attended this dinner, even though this she was not required to do so under the contract.
"Mya would like to apologize to her fans for the confusion and disappointment caused by this situation. However, she would also like her fans to know that she takes her professional engagements very seriously, and would have attended this event had it been organized properly and if the promoter had the originally agreed upon monetary compensation available."
