“They said it is because Nigerian streams are cheap but I also have fans in America and all over the world. Where is the revenue from those foreign streams?

“Don Jazzy, please, help me and teach me how to generate more money from music streams. I have Apple

“Music account but the revenue that I receive is very low. They divide my earnings into 17. Please, come and teach me how to fetch music money.

“If Don Jazzy teach me how to generate more money from streaming platforms, I would be bigger than all artistes in Nigeria.”

“I’m in pain. The money Apple Music pays me every month is very small. They say streams from Nigeria don’t generate much revenue. Please help me beg Don Jazzy to guide me and show me the way.”
