Shallipopi Urges Nigerian Artists to Charge Based on Global Success
In a recent interview with News Central TV, Nigerian singer Shallipopi shared his thoughts on how artists should determine their fees, offering some advice to his fellow musicians.
He addressed the ongoing debate surrounding the high charges demanded by Nigerian artists, stating that an artist’s fee should be directly tied to the value of their music and its reach.
According to Shallipopi, an artist’s value is closely linked to the success of their music, particularly in terms of streaming numbers and overall impact.
He argued that artists whose music performs on par with international acts, such as American musicians, deserve to charge fees that reflect that level of success.
He emphasized that it’s not about inflating prices without reason but rather about matching one’s price to the level of achievement and recognition the music has garnered.
“It all boils down to where your music has reached. If your music is getting the same streams as an American artist, then it’s only fair to charge at that level.
But if your streams and success don’t match up, you shouldn’t overprice yourself,” Shallipopi explained.
His comments come at a time when some have raised concerns about Nigerian artists pricing themselves out of the local market, but Shallipopi firmly disputed this notion.
Instead, he believes that artists who have worked hard to achieve global recognition and massive streams have every right to set fees comparable to their international counterparts.
Ultimately, the value of an artist, according to him, lies in the measurable success of their music and its ability to resonate on a large scale.
Nollywood Actor, Bimbo Manuel states no actor in Nigeria can afford a Range Rover from acting alone. He gives this statement during an episode on TVC program, Your View. He states that his mates are just living fake lives with all the luxurious things they show the public.
“The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives.’“No actor in Nigeria would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone”.
He states he lives in a humble way and does not care about an extravagant living.
Nigeria Artist, Shallipopi leaves Dapper Music Records Label. The rumors of this separation started out earlier on. And now it has been confirmed as the singer has removed the record label from his bio and has unfollowed them, removing any relationship and partnership with them.
The rumors of his departure started out 2 months after Seyi Vibez left the Dapper Music Record Label.
Afrobeats superstar, Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke, has extended his congratulations to former U.S. President Donald Trump following his re-election as the 47th President of the United States.
The singer took to his social media platform, X, to publicly acknowledge Trump’s victory, while also sending heartfelt words of support to Vice President Kamala Harris, who did not win the presidency this time around.
In his message, Davido commended Harris for her strength and accomplishments, referring to her as a “solid woman.”
He expressed that while the election did not go in her favor, she should hold her head high for all that she has achieved.
His words were a gesture of respect for her groundbreaking political career, particularly as the first woman, first Black woman, and first woman of South Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President.
Davido’s message on social media read: “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump.
But you @KamalaHarris should be proud! You did that! A solid woman.”
It was clear that the artist, known for his bold personality and influential social media presence, wanted to mention Harris’s resilience in the face of adversity.
What made the post even more significant was that Davido revealed that this election marked his first time ever voting in a U.S. presidential election.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, the Nigerian singer has long held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Nigeria.
However, the singer chose not to disclose which candidate he voted for, keeping his personal political views private.
