-Grants from wealthy people and yahoo boys they hype in their songs.

-Big Gods (for the small girls)

-Investments (for the wise ones)

-Royalties

-Finally, some don't have shishii. It is all SHOW-biz

add YouTube, Spotify and special appearances for some rich folks like wedding parties, political party rallies, carnivals.


But I think they make most money through music shows, reason they love touring around other countries to host music fest's.

Hmm

This thread is funny lol


Most Nigerian Artist are not ready to make money. Till the likes of TooExclusive, notjustokay and Naija loaded are banned, Nigerian upcoming artists will NEVER make money from their songs and will continue to struggle for shows that will not even come in the first place.
Show Organisers want to make profit and will always invite artists that will be profitable to them.

An artist will release song today and pay almost 200k to blogs to help post his songs that people will download FOR FREE. Where is the sense?
When you try to educate them they will tell you "baba leave that thing I just want the song to be out there". And I will just laugh. Your song no go go anywhere. Even if it does highest 3 weeks max, Nigerians don move on, how much you make untop am?


Nigerian Artists are not ready abeg.

how many Nigerians are ready to pay for mere music. if the song is not free for download they will download the free ones. Even TV stations will seldomly play ya song

udoekere:
does that mean that naijaloaded and co post people songs 4 free downloading?

For those smart artistes that only put their songs in music platforms like iTunes and Spotify. No wahala. Naijaloaded and Co.will download it with their money probably with iTunes gift cards and stream it in their websites and make x4 of the amount spent in purchasing the original song form traffic revenue.

You typed Yahoo boiz twice ... Definitely , you must have affinity with them... Though there's nothing wrong about it... As long as you are fine and comfortable with it.
By the way, I smell you're beautiful. Thanks to those g-boiz that's bankrolling this great investment...

The are pickers for Gboiz
They lunder money for currupt politicians
Some have amorous affairs with gay politicians, oil moguls, fotballers etc.

Then finally... The truth, the very successful ones have a contract with ESU.

They make money when you watch their videos online and when you listen or download on things like iTune and Boomplay. Apart from payment for the adverts you are see, there is a sharing formula for the data you use.
Theres no free meal even in Freetown

Music streaming.

They won't tell you that in Nigeria because it hardly works.
In fact, it doesn't work because of Nepa etc.

We got Spotify, Pandora music and so much more.
They pay royalties to these artistes for their songs to be on their package.

kernniejay:
So I heard, but the famous ones make money from endorsements and brand deals. The industry is so saturated and every mushroom musician is just scampering for slots in the industry. It's like every youth in Nigeria now finds passion in music.

Spotify, iTunes and YouTube dey pay if you dey popular. Wizkid, Burn a boy, Mr Easzi and etc dey command at least $5000 or maybe more weekly from itunes

I heard YouTube pays $3k per a million views, now u are saying 8k. Which do I take as authentic?

1million views doesn't have a specific amount. It depends on how many ads people viewed completely before your video plays. Moreover currently 1million views might not get you beyond 1-2k USD

Today, I met my ex and she was kissing her new boyfriend in front of a store, I was watching them and she saw me then she asked me what I was doing there. I told her my wife is pregnant and I am here to buy baby stuffs and I am very very happy. I spoke as if they asked me that.
I proceeded in as she was looking at me, I bought 3 buckets, a baby seat and a baby bed with sponge with soaps then I chattered a taxi and left. She and her boyfriend were looking at me and I felt they envied me sooo much.
Now, my issue is, if you know any woman who has given birth, I am selling buckets, baby seat, soaps and sponge for sale ����

You too mad bro!
