Sanjay The Raleigh Promoter Is A Compulsive Liar
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, this is Sanjay “Casanova” Matai. This f**kin guy literally lies through his teeth to all his customers and patrons that come to his parties, he’ll do things like post on his Facebook about how Solas is at capacity (on a Thursday night? yeah right) This guy actually paid for a cover page story in z-spotlight with a fake contest where he won “entertainer of the year”. Supposedly in his “interview” (which he probably wrote himself) he actually had the audacity to say that his company was on the Forbes 500 list. He actually had trophies made FOR HIMSELF for his fake award from Z-spotlight “entertainer of the year”…more like biggest liar of the year! There are so many other promoters around Raleigh who are doing bigger and better things than this f**kin guy. This guy thinks hes the s**t, and I think someone needs to bring him down a notch or two. Plus look at how ugly this guy is, you would think that with all the money this guy is always bragging about having he would get his ugly face fixed. This dude seriously needs a new hair do. Oh yeah I almost forgot, he likes to tell people that come to his parties that hes the owner of the club….. WRONG!!! Why lie about being someone your not? Guess it makes him sleep better at night.
I think the Casanova tie explains this guys entire life. All club promoters are liars, you can tell by this guys smile that he actually believes his lies.- nik
This man is a slave to his ego.
Everything you see above are the results of demands of his ego.
If you paid for marketing and pr to boost your credibility and reputations wouldn’t you want your money back if this is the magazine kind of result it produced? You can design something like this on photoshop
I don’t agree with the guys lies, but I like the fact that he’s a person of ambition that wants to make it so badly, and that he’s actually doing something within a field that takes some skill.
The only reason he’s on this website is because his competitors or rivals within the same business are playing the game right. They put him on blast, and a promoters reputation (I would imagine) should mean everything.
This is definately a pathetic plea from a competitive promoter-hater against him! Gotta give props to where they are due, you can google his company name, Matai Inc and it does come up in the Inc 5000 list for one of the fastest growing companies! He has definately raised the bar in nightlife, the kid’s parties are off the chain and he has a crazy loyal following! I actually went there on Thursday for his latin night and 2nd floor was flooded with people! Def think you got your facts wrong about this dude, he is on top of his game and you gotta respect that, not hate! Promotions game is grimy and this is a perfect ploy against him, however your claims are all garbage bro! The boy got skillz in the party scene! Get off your haterade son!
I’m not a promoter nor do I know this kid, I’m just making an observation. Look at that magazine cover does that look genuine to you?
This guy needs to quit fooling around and get back up to The Front Desk there is someone there who needs a room. Pronto !
Seriously Vic…what a racist you are????
That is the funniest thing I have heard all week! The slushie machine needs repair too!
Raleigh is so ruined by people like this. Im sure he inflates 2.35 girls minds to think they are 7′s. There needs to be an adjustment in ratings. I’d say -3.
Stop It !
And I Mean Now …
Can’t you see this poor guy can’t even afford a Decent Haircut?
Im actually in love with his hair along with many of my female friends! He is very attractive, charming, a great dancer and has incredible style. One of the nicest and funniest people Ive met in the town after moving here from Jersey. I love the fact that he isnt scared to express himself. Its a huge turn on for us ladies and if he didnt have a girlfriend, i know me or my girlfriends would love to date him! And to be totally honest, he does throw the best damn parties in this town hands down! Anyone who knocks that is just super jealous!
bwahahaha i cant believe that clown made thedirty.com i think its a step up considering i seen this fool at solas in raleigh. He has to be gay wearing all the corn ball outfits. I guess no one told him that he is a nobody in a tiny city that no one cares about!
After reading this post, my girlfriends and I decided to go check out his parties! We went to Latin night at Solas, it was insanely packed, go go dancers, hula hoop girls, 4 djs, atleast 500 people were on the 2nd floor. We went to the rooftop and he had another dj there and an awesome crowd there as well. We had a blast, the staff was super nice and he definately knows what he is doing! I definately think this article was written by a jealous competitor-hater. We had so much fun and went back again Friday night. It was even busier and zspotlight actually had a party on the rooftop – Blue Party, it was AMAZING! We actually met Sanjay, he def doesnt wear cornball outfits, my girlfriends and I said hands down he was the best dressed. He showed us around the club, made us feel super welcome and even got us champagne. He is a true gentleman and a master at his trade. I truly think you guys have increased his business by hating on him so hard as everyone now wants to check out what he is about. He is LEGIT and we will definately be going to more of his parties. Thank you Sanjay for bringing a taste of the Big City to Raleigh! Dont let these sorry ass haters slow your roll you hottie!
Keaton honey you are so in love with this girl Stefanie, face it honey you are stalking her and obessed with her. You are acting like a jilted lover, she is so pretty and you are not. Talk about whore, slut and shank, theres your picture. By the way before you get into other peoples business I would keep a check on your own man Travis he’s fucked me and others. Boy your man gets around, Carma’s a bitch isn’t it.
kharma is spelled KHARMA, “honey”
Actually , It’s spelled “Karma” ‘honey”.
In this case PHOTOSHOP would come in handy !! Did they design this cover or Office 2001. What the……
I thought most of these people Owned Donut Shops or seedy motels what is going on here?
Indians have a rather unusual custom to find out more about it google ( india urine therapy )
Racist white pig!!! Yes you are white and know it….beer belly and ugly too…how about you come out of the trailer park before you talk about brown people….
What you said isn’t racist at all? Only white people live in trailer parks? lol idiot
Lower left hand corner, they spelled triangle wrong. Must be a real legitimate magazine.
The “entertainer of the year” award reminds me of the whole “blogger of the year” scam that nik claimed awhile ago…lol
That Fallout Boy lettuce is real fresh
His hair offends me.
This dude sucks ass. Never met one of them who didn’t stink and lie to get ahead. Someone call the FBI on this friggin sleeper cell piece of shit
They give out entertainer of the year awards in march? Must not have high expectations for the rest of the year.
Deport his terrorist ass back to PAKIstan!!! I mean really where did this “Prince” come from and he should stop filling the heads of those below average girls (Which Raleigh is known for) with false hope and lies that they are hot and should join him in the VIP section!!! I am very worried that Raleigh will turn into a terrorist training ground and those people will be responsible for the end of the world in 2012!!! Also word on the street is he “doesn’t have substabce” between his legs so he gets bitches to drink and pass out so he can have sex!!! BEWARE LADIES!!!
He’s not even from Pakistan you dumbass LOL
I resent this small man dirtying up my good name in the vain hope of luring in gullible women (and, from what I hear, men as well). The truth is that I was born in Venice, not Bombay, and I died over 200 years ago. I was also far better looking than this, and did not rise up through the ranks of a soap factory or customer call center to the lofty ranks of promotions manager for a small night club in a small town. I resent this identity theft, and if I were not myself dead already I would slap him with my gauntlet like the little bitch that he is and it would be pistols at dawn on the south garden.
you are so stupid and obviousily jealous of this Sanjay! Also a racist hater….
Worddddd go CASANOVA
This guy walks around Raleigh like he is a big deal. Reality is that he is the weakest guy in what is a “mid-market” city at best. Funny part is that he actually ‘rocks’ clothes like he has on in the pcture every weekend. Closet homo….
Isn’t calling a guy a “promoter” and a “compulsive liar” a bit redundant?
TO ALL OF YOU LOSERS that have time to write trash about hard working person! I suggest you get a life and try to even make it close to what Sanjay made! Im sure yall are so jealous of him that you can only hide and write SHIT instead of saying it to his face, you LOSERS pretend to be his friends and come to all of his parties and always so broke that every time ask him for hook ups on entrance to his events! Yall r dumb and Sanjay is the smart one bc he makes $$ of yall with this PR! HAHAHA Idiots! Keep on hating bc yall never come close to what he has achieved, yall stuck in this village going dtown Raleigh and your only highlight is The Dirty or trip to Wilmington beach! LOSERS educate your-self on how show business works and what promotions are instead of watching Jerry Springer shows! Over all thanks bc Sanjay will capitalize from ur negative P.R. and YOU jealous rivals!
Promoters in raleigh aren’t hard working people. They’re never will bes
I assume YOU, LOSER, talking about your self! haha, thats for sure!
LOVE THIS.
TELLEM, MUST BE TALKING TO THEMSELVES HOV, HANDSFREE
You guys all need to get lives… people that put other people on blast obviously have some major insecurities themselves and need to put down others to make themselves feel better about their awful, useless life. This guy is one of the nicest people in Raleigh and it’s pathetic whoever wrote this is so jealous. GET A LIFE!!!!
Ew. Didn’t your mother teach you “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all”?
WTF?! This site is all BS, i wrote a comment and you rewrote everything i said! Is this your full time job?
Dude definitely looks like a liar. I don’t know him and I believe the author when they say he made up this award. Besides, look at how damn cheap those trophies are. They’re the kind given to elementary school kids for being team players, not the kind you see given out by a legit company for entertainer of the year. That magazine looks trashy too, by the way. I’ve seen much smaller cities with much classier more, interesting magazines. I wouldn’t be thrilled with being on the cover of such a production. I mean look at how horrible the cover job is.
He lied to everyone when he said Fergie was going to be at Tantra!!
Ah honey, when 3 out of 4 Black Eyed Pea members show up and Will I am…personally fixes your tie….It’s pretty damn good…no one else in Raleigh has done it…
Even Will.I.am made hotdogs for people outside of Tantra, only Sanjay could pull that off. Will.I.am was telling us how Sanjay and him were in Vegas when he launched there clothing line! Sanjay has connections, skills and even LMFAO performed at Tantra. They performed longer at Tantra then even at the concert! So my peeps are def going to support him and take his side as you guys are mad haters!
BECAUSE HE PAID THEM TO BE THERE! You think there really friends..lol… But when you advertise Fergie as your selling point & don’t deliver then your a fraud..He’s such a great promoter that his own club (Tantra) failed…and word is his clothes are fake!
Wordddd. Go SJ
When I think of “Entertainer of the Year,” I do not think of a guy with a business card and a Facebook account calling himself a ‘promoter.’ The “award” that he gave himself is not even in the right catagory, but he gets my vote for “Biggest Douche Bag of the Century” hands down.
I’m so freaking happy someone actually brought this guy up finally! He’s the biggest douchebag “promoter” in raleigh. If you want to hang out with a bunch of people from every country OTHER THAN the US, then go to his party. I’m sick of seeing all his ads, posts etc talking about “taking Over” , taking Raleigh to “the next level”, “running Raleigh”…Go back to whatever fucking terrorist country you came from. And while you’re at it, Take that fucking ugly ass GO-Girl bitch with you too. I’m sick of her ass too. If any AMERICANS want to go out and have a good time, please patronize a spot owned by someone thats a citizen at least, or prefereably a hometown owner…
Wow I had no idea Raleigh had racist douche bags still floating around… But fyi Go-Girl is a hometown girl I went to school with her going all the way back to grade school and IF you were even from this town… I AM SURE your completely uneducated ass would have known that… I don’t know Sanjay that well but from what I have seen of him he is very nice and polite and strictly business… As a female that has been to a few of his parties he has never come on to me or any of my girlfriends. He has always shown us respect and his parties have always been fun…
Because he’s a HOMO!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it every time people don’t like a guy they want to call him gay? So what he dresses like a Jonas Brother… They’re not Gay and neither is Sanjay… Lol I guess if he shot himself up with steroids and pimped affliction shirts 3 sizes too small so he looked like every other guy downtown he’d be cool not gay right? I think someone just needs to grow the f-up already…
Totally agree with you….the guys with affliction shirts 3 times too small are the gay one….SJ dresses cool and he is not afraid to try out new fashion trends….guess Raleigh doesn’t know about that stuff….Go SanJay….you are awesome!
Your calling all of Raleigh racist for one idiots repeated remarks..This is obviously the work of a competitor
Are you drunk or did you just never learn to read?
Get a life white ass….
This guy is a flamer…he’s lucky this is the pic posted and not his usual glitter bull s**t….Why is concerned with Solas when LEGENDS is where he should be!!
This guy hangs off on Hanley’s sack and tries to give off the image that he has Raleigh wired. He is a tool and the business owners use him as such when needed.
Complete flame! Have you ever seen him in person? Why hasn’t he come out the closet yet!
He actually has the hottest damn girlfriend in the state! They have been together for years and are extremely happy! Its funny that you loosers are so jealous of him, you guys loose sleep on how you want to be like him and could never achieve what he has. I have known him for years and he has style and swagger unlike you guys bashing him for being gay when the guy has more style that GQ!! He has pretty much dressed every celebrity, do your homework before you go off judging and hating people. Instead of wasting your poor pathetic lives hating, go and make a name for yourself you low life a*sholes!
this guy needs to hang out at the gay clubs, who is he fooling!!
He and his hot ass girlfriend should board their private plane and jet their asses back to India, or Pakistan , wherever they’re from, and open a 7-11 there. Look around, outside of the club, this guy is a joke.
You are an IDIOT that needs elementary education to understand basic world concepts! Who do u think runs this country?! even the president is Muslim!
Bwahaha Well, you’re probably right there, but they don’t run my properties… you step on my land, you’ll get a bullet.
Then the country can’t be racist if a half-black muslim was elected..the President has stated numerous times he’s not muslim anyway, not that it matters
Let me start of by saying that Sanjay is a promoter, which like any other promoter he bends the truth. I have worked with Sanjay in the past and I can tell you that he is more hype than substance. He feeds lies to his army of friends who have difficulty seeing past the smoke and mirrors. According to his facebook page he is responsible for every major event throughout the year such as The Black Eyed Pea’s, Playboy mansion parties and even parties in Ibiza. I can tell you that all of those statements are lies. The nightclubs pay for “acts” to come in, not Sannjay. His clothing store has a BBB rating of F, which is the lowest rating a business can achieve. His employee’s laugh at the customers who actually buy the clothing sold at his store(s). I do not particularly dislike Sanjay, but I do not think you should purposely give people a false impression of who you are and what you’re about.
Wow, another hater added to the list!!! My friends and I love his stores, love his parties, love his personality and support him day in day out! Just keep your opinions to yourself and quit hating so hard. Sanjay, keep doing what you do boo, we love you and see you this weekend!
So anyone that does not drink the kool-aid is a hater??? Also I have to keep my opinion to myself, but you are allowed to state yours? Clearly there are posters on this board that have the intelligence of a barnacle.
yo im finally getting on this thing and wow. …. what a bunch of haters …. i mean seriously i have never met a more humble dude in my life…. praying for ya lll cuz dman you need some jesus in ya life
Matai and company are a bunch of D-Listers teaming together thinking they are bringing prominent stuff to the triangle….what happened to your luxury car fleet, stores in miami, tantra, and bringing Internationale vibes to Raleigh? haha you clown!
haha.. @teamloser..
you are the loser.. no party for you at the new 6.5 million mansion ..
keep hating ..see where it gets you..
Yeah an honestly I’ve had many friends that he has hit on and begged to sleep with ….news flash… he’s either married or has at least been with Yana for a very long time and I feel so bad for her! I wish she could see past his shit!
this dude is soo fake…claims he is jet setting around the world with the rich and famous when in reality he is a regular paying guest and then googles pictures to act like he was a VIP….fake ass faggot of a clown….wheels down in Miami getting picked up by my chauffeur heading to my condo…catch me if u can these nuts faggot!
Casanova is single handed fucking up the glamour Solas once had when Kyle was manager with his now cheesy false claims saying they have a 50K laser show with 800 people (200 realistically)
this dude is pretty fake….he rolls around Raleigh like he is a heavy weight in the industry (as he is known in Miami/Dubai/Pakistan) as an A-lister (hahaha NOT!) …. pretty much he is a backup plan for things/venues that used to be sucessful…what happened to Tantra? iT was dead around the clock and he paid for the celebs to be there and couldn’t even break even! PS. keep posting fake albums on FB your photography is sooo off point we can tell you google your pics and act like you had baller status at these events you general admission patron!
IS this guy gone yet?!?!?! Why is he still around? STOP going to Solas and giving him your money already…. Maybe he’ll go back to pakistan with the rest of the bombers…. Oh, and by the way, your clothes are a joke.
we all already know that careys plans to move his ass out. speaking of which solas use to be good and is now a fcking joke . you got under aged cracked out door girls and a racist joke of a promoter there who got kicked outta fubar and brings under age people and basically turned fridays and saturdays to a dolce night…
naw that wasnt kidds fault. fubar was sin city before..and it was all purple crayons then too. BUT notice how kool aid drinking kidz dont pay the billz and the clubs dont last long after these Baffoons start their “promotions” bull$#!t? as for matai, he sucks crayons, and yana is doing gangbang porn ..shes an illegal czech here.
haha what happened to your Privilege stores? did they also FLOP!! HAHAHA…PS. I’d bend that illegal Czech over real fast and show her what a real man feels like inside!
I know Sanjay, I know Yana, and I know some of his family. I think that at the end of the day, they really are good people, however, they have done nothing but play the part of what everyone else wanted to see. Sanjay and I have had our differences, and of that he is fully aware, even so when I shoot him a text or don’t want to wait in line at a club and it isn’t for a celebrity guest or dj, he is always gracious regardless.
Disrespecting Yana is pretty low. I have had my opinions on her as well, but she is not an illegal, and she is working hard in school. Trying to fault her is pointless.
Do I believe the truth is stretched, and out-right lies are told; yes. Does it really matter at the end of the day? If going out and partying is your main focus in life, and all of this is just SO IMPORTANT to you, then I can understand why you would be offended. If not, then read it, laugh at it, and continue to go out and have a good time. I can assure you, that forgiveness if anyone has ever wronged you, will do YOU more good than them.
I would like to gently suggest that the haters herein have their own egos they are dealing with. I believe that when people live a spectacular life and reach for goals and dreams realized far beyond the general population, usually when fueled by sheer passion in this life…whether or not it is boosted and backed with money…they become targeted by others as “ego driven”. I believe it’s all a matter of perspective. Self-promotion is often very misunderstood. I don’t know about the claims of dishonesty. What I do see is a person who is living a life that most of Raleigh and the surrounding area can understand and appreciate very little.
