The hefty performance fee charged by Afrobeat star Burna Boy, born Ebunoluwa Damini Ogulu, has been revealed in Nigeria. A viral video shows a radio host from Next Radio 106.1 discussing his performance rates.
According to her, Burna Boy, currently entangled in controversy with Sophia Egbueje, charges $1 million for shows outside Nigeria. She noted that despite offering a discount for an event in Kenya, organizers still couldn’t afford him.
The OAP further claimed that Burna Boy requires a private jet, a five-star hotel stay, and 60 rooms for his crew. She added that her country couldn’t afford to bring him to perform.
Other Nigerian artists also demand high fees, with Wizkid charging up to $1 million, while Davido and Olamide receive $500,000. Rema and Tiwa Savage reportedly charge around $100,000 per show.
