“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.
American actress Jenna Ortega reflects on her days as a child actress and shares how she used to cope on set.
The actress shared how sometimes she would go without eating. “I wasn’t asking for one sip of water. I would go all day without eating, drinking, whatever, because I wanted so badly to not be in the way of anybody.”
“Maybe that was my mistake, was not actually looking after myself,” Ortega added.
Davido shares that he is one of the biggest hitmakers in Nigeria and places a $1 million bet to back his claim.
He praises himself and shares his confidence on a stream.
“I will put $1 million cash on the table. Nobody has more hits than me,” Davido said during the livestream.
Nigerian singer Peter Okoye speaks on his childhood and reveals what he fears the most on earth.
The singer shared that he fears poverty rather than death and spoke on why.
“I’m not afraid of death. The only thing I’m afraid of in this life is poverty. It is being broke. I have tested it before. I have been in our house with our parents and a bulldozer came and demolished the house.
“We were living in a one-bedroom flat with me, my mom, my father, like the whole family. Six boys and two girls live in a one-bedroom apartment.”
