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.
