Dancer and member of Dance With Purpose (DWP) group, Roland Frimpong Nyarko, better known as Champion Rollie, has disclosed the highest amount he has ever been paid as a dancer.

According to him, it happened earlier this year when he was contracted as an influencer during the match between Ghana and Egypt. The agreed amount was GH₵ 70,000.00, and he could not believe his eyes when he first received the money in his account.

The dancer revealed this in an interview on Joy Prime’s all-children show, 4Kids Paradise, with the host, Akosua Debrah.

“This is the first time I’m disclosing this. The highest amount I’ve been paid is GH₵ 70,000.00. In January, I had a contract with Football Together, and they flew me to Cote d’Viore to be an influencer for Ghana and Egypt match. I did a lot of things by posting on my social media, and that’s the biggest contract I’ve ever signed,” he revealed.

Initially, it was difficult to believe until he received the message from his bank account indicating the amount he had received.

For Rollie, being paid as a professional dancer is his best part since he ventured into the field, but he said the amount is dependent on the type of event and contract. Aside from that, he also feels fulfilled, knowing that he is impacting lives through his art.

“Knowing that you’re having a good impact and influence on the youth and people who are watching you is also an amazing feeling.” 

The dancer recently held ‘Clothe-A-Child; Change A Life’ fun fair, where he supported over one hundred street children, a project that he has been engaged with for some years now.

As part of his future plans, he seeks to help train potential kid dancers who are on the street with his earnings to encourage them to earn a better living.

Champion Rollie also mentioned that he might participate in Britain's Got Talent (BGT), following in the footsteps of his former dance colleague and friend, Afronitaa.

He plans to continue showcasing his dance skills and providing entertainment through his performances.
