“One Million Streams Only Pays $300 in Nigeria, Aim Higher – Burna Boy Advises Nigerian Artists
On April 8, 2025, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy shared his perspectives on the music industry via his Instagram story, emphasizing the contrast between online popularity and real-world success. He cautioned fellow artists against being misled by social media metrics, mentioning that Nigerian social media fans and Twitter polls do not necessarily translate to tangible support, such as filling concert venues.
Moving on, Burna Boy addressed the significant disparities in streaming revenues across different regions. He noted that one million streams generate approximately $300–$400 in Nigeria, whereas the same number of streams yield about £3,000–£4,000 in the UK, $3,000–$4,000 in the US, and €3,000–€4,000 in Europe. He advised artists to set their sights beyond achieving number one spots on Nigerian streaming platforms and to consider diversifying their income sources.
Nigerian comedian and media personality, Nedu Wazobia, speaks on his exit from Wazobia FM.
It can be noted that the comedian has worked with the organization for over a decade — 13 years.
While speaking, he expressed his disappointment with not having a send-forth after his contribution to the media house. “I worked in Wazobia for 13 years plus and when I resigned, they didn’t even do me a send-forth…”
Nigerian singer Omah Lay reveals that he rejected an offer from Davido to work together again on a track.
The singer shared his reason as he revealed this, stating he wants to pursue his career solo before any big collaboration.
“After we dropped the hit song ‘With You’, Davido called me for a new collaboration but I declined because I have my career to pursue too.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
