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.”

The CEO of Mavin Records explained that he couldn’t sign Wizkid because Banky W, the CEO of EME Records, had already taken the opportunity to sign the Starboy. Regarding Davido, Don Baba J revealed that he had the chance to sign him but chose not to because he believed Davido would thrive without the support of a record label. Don Jazzy also expressed regret for not signing artists like Simi and Teni. He mentioned that he came close to signing rapper Falz The Bahd Guy, but unfortunately, the deal fell through. In his words, “I like Simi, I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni, but I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I had the opportunity of signing Davido but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine. Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky W got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work. We almost had a deal.”

How Tems’ collaborations with Wizkid revive his career

Controversial Twitter personality, Daniel Regha, recently sparked a debate online by highlighting the influence of Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, on Wizkid’s music career. Regha asserted that Tems played a significant role in reviving Wizkid’s dwindling career in his opinion. Regha commended Tems’ impressive stage presence and performance whenever she joins Wizkid in performing their hit collaboration, “Essence.”

He wrote; “Tems only gets attention as a performer when she sings Essence. She’s a promising upcomer, & is also the main reason why Wizkid was able to revive his music career with the MIL album; But asides collabs, she literally has no hit song of her own. Hope she steps it up. No offense.”

A photo of Tems. Photo Credit: @temsbaby Source: Instagram The statement from Regha came shortly after the highly anticipated Essence Festival, where Tems and the Grammy-winning singer reunited on stage after a two-year hiatus. Their electrifying performance further fueled discussions on the impact of their collaboration. While acknowledging Tems as a talented up-and-coming artist with a promising career, Regha suggested that she needed to expand her repertoire and release hit songs of her own. He expressed his belief that Tems’ collaborations, particularly with Wizkid on his “Made in Lagos” (MIL) album, had helped propel her to the spotlight. However, Regha also noted that outside of these collaborations, Tems had yet to achieve a major hit of her own. See below; Tems ¤nly gets attention as a performer when she sings Essence.
