Nigeria’s top Owambe sensation, Segun Johnson, has revealed how some top Nigerian singers known for singing at high-profile parties and events make their money
While speaking on The Teju Babyface Deep Dive Podcast, Johnson stated that these top-tier musicians don’t necessarily charge a performance fee. Instead, they give their clients a target as to how much the guests at their parties have to spray them.
He shared a jaw-dropping scenario where a well-known Owambe artist (name withheld) reportedly told a client
“If you want me at your party, I must make N50 million that day.” No fixed charge, no performance fee—just a clear monetary expectation from the party’s money spray.
Segun further explained that these A-list musicians sometimes turn down high-paying gigs if the guest list isn’t packed with “heavy” or notable personalities.
