We often get questions like how much does spotify,apple music and deezer pay per stream
Burna Boy’s 1m Spotify streams equals $6000
Libianca’s 1m Spotify Streams equals $7000
Kizz Daniel’s 1M Spotify streams equals $4000
Why these differences???
The Truth is these streaming platforms do not have a fixed pay per stream. Some one can have 1m streams and earn 4k while another has 1m streams and earn $7k like you see above . There are many factors that affect the pay per stream some of which include
The Listeners Country and Location. If you have a million streams and 90% of your streams are from Africa , the pay is low . But If you have a million streams and 90% of it from America and Europe , the pay will be very high . These countries have high purchasing power . So the Listeners country and location influence the pay per stream .It’s like listening in dollars .
Libianca and Burna Boy are streamed in the US and UK More than Kizz Daniel that’s the reason for the difference.
Subscription or Free Account. Many Africans use Free accounts . There are no premium users with paid accounts .. Few Cameroonians even have bank Cards to pay for online subscription.You can’t be streaming with free accounts and think your artistes will get that much money . No No No .Money comes only from those who paid for subscription , your artiste can only earn from you if you play those Spotify ads on free accounts .So subscription greatly plays a part when it comes to payment per stream..
Duration of Play . Most streaming platforms only consider something above 30 seconds . If you don’t play a song above 30 seconds ,it doesn’t count .So the duration per Play affects the payment per stream .Imaginr listening to a song repeatedly , it only means more money for your artiste .
Music is business, having certain information helps you know where and how to market your music . It’s not just by screaming 80/20 . You might play the 80 and still make nothing if you do not understand how the system works .

He’s Cursed; A Foundation Built On Fr@ud Never Stands”–Sky B’s Former Producer Explains Why Arstiste Can Never Rise Again In Music
“So many people do not know Sky B and I (X-B) were musical groupies like Style-Plus and Ajebo Hustlers.
“Nigerians and the world felt Sky B was the one who did the solo and rap in all his songs, but many Port Harcourt artistes who knew me and him together just saw him as an impostor trying to mimic my role in his songs.
“I come from Akwa Ibom and I was his tenant living in a one room apartment in his father’s compound in Port Harcourt.
“We recorded all songs together in the pray for me Album. If you listen carefully you will hear my name in almost all the intros.
“I took the chorus of “My Baby” the hit song and the solo part.
“We have recorded everything together and were hustling to get it wasked (the normal way of launching an album way back)
“Sky B sold a piece of his father’s land and launched the music alone. It happened that someone who knows us as partners called me on the very day he was doing the album launch, asking me why I am not there with my man to celebrate our music.
“I instantly burst into tears realising that I have been betrayed and stabbed from the back.
“I was just a poor boy who is his tenant living in his house, every effort to reach him proved abortive as Sky B gave me a notice to leave his father’s house.
“I left him to God to fight my battle and as you can see, it ended up in shame.
“Sky B betrayed me, that betrayal lives on with him.
“Imagine Lucky Udu even trying to help him get back, created a Facebook page for him and he uses the Facebook page as collateral to take cr#ck on loan, who does that?
“A foundation built on fraud never stands, look at his life and see how it has ended.”

Kanayo O. Kanayo recently expressed his frustration regarding Angel Unigwe and her mother. In a video he posted online, the veteran actor alleged that Angel, with her mother’s support, breached their contract by prematurely leaving his set.
Responding to these allegations, Angel Unigwe’s mother strongly denied the accusations and defamatory statements made by Mr. Kanayo in his video. She stressed their firm adherence to contractual terms and their dedication to honoring all legal commitments.
Angel Unigwe’s mother provided a detailed account of events from June 17th to June 19th, 2024, during which Angel was engaged in Kanayo’s film project with clear agreements, specifically finishing filming by 9 pm each day. Despite their initial concerns about filming fifty-seven scenes in three days, they agreed to proceed based on assurances from Mr. Kanayo O. Kanayo and his director.
On the final day, filming extended beyond 9 pm by an additional 45-50 minutes, which they accommodated as a gesture of goodwill. She emphasized that they left the location after fulfilling their obligations, without any objections from the director or production manager.
Her statement:
“As a background to the events that led to this, between the 17th of June 2024 and the 19th of June 2024, Miss Unigwe participated in a film project under clear and agreed terms, most important of all being a daily wrap time of 9 pm. Despite our concerns about the feasibility of filming fifty-seven (57) scenes in three (3) days, we proceeded based on the assurances we received from Mr. Kanayo O. Kanayo and his director, in person of Ndifreke Matthew, that the three days period will be sufficient for shooting and that the talent’s shooting time of 12 hours starting from 9 am to 9 pm is acceptable to them, moreso there will be no extension considering her prior engagement. On the final day, despite the agreed terms regarding wrap up time of 9 pm, we accommodated an additional 45-50 minutes of filming beyond the agreed time, which was done out of the spirit of goodwill and understanding that had existed between us, Mr. Kanayo and the film Director. Upon completion of the shoot, we left the location without protest from the director or the production Manager Mr. Cosmos Nwaihe, having performed our obligations.”
Mrs. Unigwe was deeply shocked upon learning of the accusations made by Mr. Kanayo in his video. She shared the emotional distress caused by what she perceived as threats against her daughter, Angel Unigwe. She condemned these actions as cyberbullying and gender-based harassment, particularly hurtful given her long-standing respect for Kanayo.
Juliet Unigwe concluded her heartfelt statement by announcing their intention to seek legal action to ensure accountability and justice in this matter, asserting their refusal to be intimidated. She called on relevant security agencies and organizations to protect Miss Unigwe and herself from any potential hostility from Kanayo.
