Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora 'reject $200k Vegas offer'

Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora have reportedly turned down a $200,000 deal, $100,000 each, to play two Las Vegas shows.

The stars - who collaborated on hit single 'Black Widow' - were reportedly offered $100,000 apiece to take to the stage at Planet Hollywood in Sin City but both are said to have rejected the opportunity to perform the pair of gigs, according to gossip website TMZ.

The offer is a lot less than the $476,000 per show wage Celine Dion is said to be on for her Vegas performances.

Britney Spears is also said to be earning a huge sum at $475,000-per-gig - $29.7 million overall for her 96 shows - while Jennifer Lopez was offered $350,000 for a run of 72 gigs that will see her take home $26.3 million.

But Kanye West could've had an even bigger Vegas pay day had he agreed to a reported $500,000-per-show deal to perform three shows a week for three weeks. While the bumper contract would've netted the rapper a huge $4.5 million sum, he is said to have declined the offer but it is not known why.

Should Iggy and Rita have signed up for the Vegas shows then it wouldn't have been the first time the pair have performed together.

Iggy invited Rita onto the stage at Shepherd's Bush Empire in west London while she was performing to a packed out crowd in the capital and the pair launched into a rendition of 'Black Widow'.
