Performance fees of superstars Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide

The performance fees of Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido and Olamide have gone viral with Burna Boy topping the chat. Nigerian music artists have been finding success and making money through various means such as streaming, endorsements, and merchandise marketing. However, performance fees remain a crucial part of their income. With the rise of Afrobeats, artists have been commanding higher fees for their performances at events, shows, and concerts. According to Adeshola Adefuwa-Cole, CEO of Cole Management Services, top Nigerian music stars prefer to charge in dollars, either at home or abroad, to keep up with the world’s market forces. Adefuwa-Cole revealed what some of the top Nigerian music acts charge per event. Burna Boy currently commands the highest performance fee, charging 1 million dollars or more per show. Wizkid charges between 800 thousand dollars to 1 million dollars, while Davido is in third place, charging around 500 thousand dollars. Olamide also charges 500 thousand dollars per show. Aside from the fixed performance fees, other considerations are made as the artists make other demands for themselves and their crew as part of convenience for the show. For instance, for Wizkid, a chartered flight must be provided, with one business class and six economy return tickets. The fees charged by the top Nigerian music acts are influenced by many factors, including the location of the event, the size of the audience, and the artist’s popularity. “The booking must be confirmed before the contract is signed and it must be one business class and 6 economy return tickets from Lagos. For accommodation, it is one penthouse suite, one premium suite and ten single standard rooms. For Per-diem or daily allowance, it is $300 (Artiste), $200 (Manager) and $100 (crew) daily per person. And also, ground transportation and security must be provided,” he said. @jerwmy reacted: “We knew he would top the chart. Not called Odogwu for nothing.” @savannah said: “Nice one. Money making machines.”

Tiwa Savage reveals nervousness almost ruined her performance at King Charles III’s coronation

One of the many artists placing Afrobeats on the world map, superstar singer and queen of Afrobeats, Tiwatope Savage-Balogun, professionally known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she was nervous during her performance at the historical coronation of the British monarch, King Charles III, which almost ruined the moment for her. Tiwa Savage gained world dominance as the Queen of Afrobeats, having been the only Nigerian artiste invited to perform at the coronation concert of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle in England, which of course, was another big win for the talented superstar.

This was the first time a Nigerian artist performed at a royal coronation in England, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tiwa Savage. The event was attended by over 20,000 people and was widely covered by the BBC, with over 18 million people globally tuning in to watch the concert. Appearing recently on the Good Morning Britain TV Show, Tiwa Savage admitted that she was nervous in the first few seconds of her performance at Windsor Castle. She said, “It was beautiful [to perform for the King]. It was such an amazing moment to represent the Commonwealth and to be on that stage. “I was nervous, I will say the first few seconds. But as soon as I started singing, I said, ‘I have to just get swept away by the crowd’.” The ‘Queen of afrobeats’, as she is fondly called, also described the British Queen Consort, Camilla, as “very lovely” during the show. Tiwa Savage and the Queen Consort met before her historic performance at the coronation ceremony.

Portable’s performance at recent event stirs reaction

Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has caused quite a stir on social media with his recent controversial performance at an undisclosed event. The location of the event remains unknown, but during his act, the singer exhibited behavior that left viewers puzzled.

Standing on what appeared to be a stage, Portable was seen vigorously scratching his jeans, causing water to splash out onto the floor. Undeterred by the unusual occurrence, he proceeded to showcase energetic dance moves while removing his jeans. At one point, he seemed poised to pull down his underwear but abruptly halted and promptly pulled his jeans back up. Following this, Portable poured water on himself, seemingly unfazed by the earlier peculiarities, and continued his intense dancing routine.

The entire event left one fan surprised, prompting her to upload the video and question whether Portable’s actions were part of his performance or simply a display of eccentricity. The media user identified as Olamide wrote “What’s Portable doing on stage? Is this an energetic performance or craziness?” WATCH VIDEO: What’s Portable doing on stage? Is this an energetic performance or craziness? 😂🫠

How Burna Boy risked paying £150k fine for delaying his performance at London stadium

Burna Boy, the acclaimed Nigerian musician and Grammy award winner, demonstrated his commitment to perfection during his recent concert at the London stadium. The head of security at the venue revealed that Burna Boy insisted on a delay in his performance because the backdrop for the stadium was not functioning properly.

Source: Instagram The delay could have resulted in a hefty fine of £150,000 if it lasted for 30 minutes. According to the security official, Burna Boy was prepared to take the stage when one of his team members, who was in charge of the stadium lights, encountered difficulties operating the equipment using his laptop. The lack of a backup laptop exacerbated the situation, as the London stadium operates under a strict curfew. If the concert exceeded the designated time limit, Burna Boy would have been required to halt his performance, and his promoter would have been obliged to pay a fine of £150,000 for every additional 30 minutes that they exceeded the deadline. A Nigerian man named Nnamdi, who was attending a course on International Sports Law, shared a video in which the chief security officer explained the incident. Nnamdi commended Burna Boy for his insistence on perfection rather than compromising with a substandard stage setup. In the video, the security official emphasized Burna Boy’s meticulousness and how he refused to go on stage until the stadium backdrops were functioning correctly. He wrote; “Burna such a perfectionist. Having a lecture at the London stadium and the head of security explaining how Burna refused to go on stage on time because the stadium back drops were not working properly risking £150,000 fine for each extra 30.” See below; Burna such a perfectionist.

Nigerians are happy with the performance of Pres. Tinubu in just two weeks

Source: Google Reno Omokri has stated that although Bola Tinubu is seen as unpopular, he has made great progress as President in just two weeks after officially sitting in the president’s seat. He mentioned that a lot of Nigerians are happy so far with the progress and his performance. “President Bola Tinubu entered office as one of the least popular, supposedly elected leaders in Nigeria’s history. In two weeks, he is turning out to be one of the most progressive Presidents in our recent history, simply by his actions after his swearing-in. Nigerians are not hard to please. Apart from those using politics to hide their secessionist agenda, most Nigerians seem to be happy with his performance thus far. And his popularity is high right now. Except you are not being honest with yourself. If he continues this way, even the secessionist agenda will be defeated by good governance in a way that it could not be militarily vanquished by General Buhari. For those who understand Yoruba, President Tinubu is fulfilling the meaning of his moniker, Asiwaju. The PDP and Waziri Atiku Abubakar would have been better. Whatever the Supreme Court rules, we will accept. But at the end of the day, whether PDP or APC, all we want is good governance for Nigeria.” President Bola Tinubu entered office as one of the least popular, supposedly elected leaders in Nigeria’s history.
