This is a mad royalties for life

it is not for the artist.

most artist get a flat rate off royalties depending on their contract but the record label in most cases gets most of the royalties.

Lol what of record label? Label will even get of to 60 percent of the money

your figures are wrong

there are lot of people let me add more record label, distributor, song writer, the tax man, music publishers

in many cases artist are paid a flat fee or upfront by the record label or nothing at all

Record labels, distrib

Why will someone not be happy for a man that made money legally? He didn’t steal, kidnap, push drugs or loot like our politicians but he worked for it. I am sure Davido is happy for him and it will only serve as fuel to every genuine hustler that pay day is coming. 2016 to 2024 is 8years in the making.

My brother I was thinking that all these online beef are for attention that leads to more visibility for their brands. If it cuts deeper than that, please pardon by naivety.

For some celebrities, yes all you describe above. But the beef between those two is real an it stems from the fact that one is from money and the other made his own money from scratch, its an ego thing

he is wrong

who is gonna pay you that for that stream

snopp dog got less than $45k for 1 billion stream

btw, sportify does not deal with artists themselves. sportify signs contracts with the publishers and distributors. The publishers and distributors then sign contracts with the artists.

who ever owns the right to the music and masters owns the royalties and most times, it isnt the artist but record label

but it is different for an independent artist, they own the rights to their music and earn more money from royalties

Right right right but we still fvck with Kendrick though, guess who is next.

I am brother a Wizkid fan or davido fan. I only reacted according to what I experience on twitter whenever one of them achieve one success over the other. They brag with it

So we can confidently say the money was shared amongst participating countries.

I thought Despacito with Justin Bieber will beat One Dance to it. Congrats all Star boy FC

Olamila:
Money wey dey don chop finish, people just dey shot royalty royalty

Wotoporiously speaking

Do you know what royalties in music means? I bet if you knew the meaning you wouldn't say this

Wotoporiously speaking

People forget that bigwiz is the artist with the most award in Africa

People also forget that whatever some artist in Nigeria/Africa are doing today bigwiz already did

People forget so many things, for me it's not a competition but I just wanted to state the facts

I have got evidence to back up my claims

Saturnalia:
There are only two musicians in Afrika. WIZKID and Others.

no let frog voiced person break egg for 12 midnight call ur name 3 times, ur own don finish

really?

motymop:

Wizkid na the real baba nla.

adefitim:
really?

Most people do not know the how music business works

yes, royalties goes to Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records.

the song hit 1 billion views 8 years ago. it is not as if it is a recent stuff, so royalties have been paid for long

funny enough wizkid might get a flat rate, he is not part of the producer, song writer or publisher of the song

tuzle:
Davido fc won't be happy.

for Drake song featuring wiskid and other artists

I when some foolish Nigerians were making FUN of Wizkid for being JUST a backup singer with almost zero involvement in the song........

NOW that feature brought Wizkid to bigger limelight to where he is today.....

And the ROYALTIES for this song is going to be HUGE and for LIFE!!!!!

Hmmmmm 🤔
