‎Your Song Being Number 1 On Any Streaming Platform In Nigeria Is Not Something To Celebrate - Burna Boy

‎Afrobeats star, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has advised his colleagues to aim higher to earn more in the music industry.


The Nigerian Voice recalls that some hours ago, Burna Boy, via his Instastory, stated that Nigerian artistes should avoid listening to the polls on the popular microblogging platform, X, formerly known as Twitter. He also urged the artistes not to be deceived by Nigeria social media fans, stressing that they won't fill up any stadium for them in any part of the world.


‎Following up on his initial post, the 'Last Last' crooner revealed the monetary value of Nigerian streams against other country streams, with Nigeria being the lowest in monetary value. He emphasized that a song being on the number one spot on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not worth celebrating. He urged his colleagues to aim higher or have other businesses alongside music in the country.


‎Burna Boy wrote on his Instastory:
‎" 1000000 Nigerian streams = $300/$400

‎1000000 Uk streams £3000/£4000 =

‎1000000 US streams $3000/$4000

‎1000000 euro streams = €3000/€4000

‎Your song being number 1 on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate. Aim higher or do other businesses on the side. I type with love. #NoSignOfWeakness."
