Davido, the Afrobeats star, says he now charges $600,000 (N450 million) for a music show.
In a chat with Zahir Jooma, the co-owner of the jewelry store Icebox, Davido also said he discusses with his team before taking the next step.
Davido said he tries to perform not more than four shows a month — which earns him “about $2 million to $3 million”.
“I mean now shows are $600,000. Now it is less. Actually. Because fewer people can pay. If I do four shows in a month, $2 million, $3 million,” he said.
Davido’s influence has increasingly grown in the music space in the over 10-year span of his music career.
