MUSICAL SUCCESS IN NIGERIA IS NOT WORTH CELEBRATING – BURNA BOY
Read Time:54 Second
Nigerian musician Burna Boy, also known as Damini Ogulu, has encouraged his peers to strive for global fame rather than just local glory.
“Musical success in Nigeria is not worth celebrating,” he said.
According to him, one million streams in Nigeria are worth only $300–€400, whereas in the West, they are worth $3000–€4000.
The self-proclaimed “African Giant” stressed that Nigerian fans and social media polls won’t fill stadiums for artists elsewhere in the globe, and he cautioned his colleagues not to be fooled by them.
On his Instastory on Tuesday, he wrote, “Dear artist, don’t let Twitter polls and ‘Naija social media fans’ deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world.
“1,000,000 Nigerian streams = $300\€400
1,000,000 UK streams = $3000\€4000
1,000,000 US streams = $3000\€4000
1,000,000 Euro streams = $3000\€4000
“Your song being number 1 on any platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate. Aim higher or do other business on the side. I type with love.”
