“Most if these Nigerian artiste who are claiming that they’re being paid $500k, $1-million, $2-million and all that for just one show are lîars.

Burna Boy will be bragging that he was paid $1-million for a show and I just laugh because it’s all cap. Even Drake who is bigger than Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido combined doesn’t charge $1-million for every show.

Non of the artiste in the so called Big Trio has up to 50-million followers. So if they’re charging $1-million per show, how much will Drake and Co with hundreds of followers charge?

These artiste need to stõp misleadîng youths and making them think that there’s too much money in music.

I’ve been touring for over 20 years now but I don’t even have a house but children who started music just yesterday are already living in mansions. How is that possible?” Seun Kuti

Did you know that Seun Kuti also sells out the same avenues as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido

“The first time I ever saw 50 Cent, I was just a kid in Vegas. I walked up to him and asked, ‘Can I take a picture with you?’
He looked at me and said, ‘No.’

Back then, I still had my Nigerian accent. I was like, ‘Wow… 50 Cent, can I take a picture with you?’… 50 Cent just said no!, and I walked away.

Years later, I met him again and reminded him of that moment. He smiled and said, ‘You here now.’

Then he brought me out at Madison Square Garden in front of 20,000 people, and now…
We’re about to shut down London Stadium — 80,000 Capacity!”

Crazy how life works.
