Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, known as Burna Boy, has encouraged his fellow musicians to look past local achievements and strive for global acclaim.
He expressed that achieving musical success in Nigeria should not be a source of pride.
He pointed out that the worth of 1,000,000 streams in Nigeria amounts to merely $300 or €400, whereas in Western countries, it translates to $3,000 or €4,000.
The self-proclaimed ‘African Giant’ cautioned his peers against being misled by social media trends and polls in Nigeria, emphasizing that they won’t draw crowds in stadiums anywhere in the world.
On his Instagram Story on Tuesday, he stated, “Dear artist, don’t allow Twitter polls and ‘Naija social media fans’ mislead you. They will not fill any stadium for you globally.”
“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.”
