Know Your Worth: Singer Shallipopi Urges Fellow Artistes to Charge Based on Their Value....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Nigerian singer Shallipopi has offered a piece of valuable advice to his fellow artistes, encouraging them to charge fees that reflect their worth and success in the music industry. His comments come amid an ongoing debate about the high fees charged by Nigerian artistes, sparking discussions on whether they have priced themselves out of the local market.

During an interview with News Central TV, Shallipopi stressed that an artiste’s value is closely tied to the reach and success of their music. He emphasized the importance of aligning their fees with the level of exposure their work has achieved, especially when it comes to streaming numbers.

Addressing the idea that Nigerian artistes may be overcharging, Shallipopi rejected the notion, suggesting that artistes who garner as much success as their international counterparts should feel justified in charging similar fees.

“It depends on your music and where it has gotten, that is what your price is going to be,” Shallipopi explained. “If your music has gotten the same streams as an American artiste, you should be charging the same way they charge. But if it’s not up to that level, you cannot overcharge.”

Shallipopi’s comments highlight the importance of knowing one’s worth in the competitive music industry, where streaming platforms and global exposure play a crucial role in determining an artiste’s market value.
