“People are responding to Davido’s disclosure that he commands a fee of $600,000 for each performance.”

The well-known afrobeat artist, Davido, has generated quite a buzz by revealing his performance fee for shows. In an interview with Zahir Jooma, the co-owner of the jewelry store Icebox, Davido shared the number of monthly shows he participates in and the fee he commands.

In the now-viral video, he stated that he currently charges $600,000 per show. He also mentioned that due to the limited number of people who can afford this fee, he does three to four shows each month, resulting in earnings ranging from $2 million to $3 million.

This revelation has sparked various reactions from social media users:

1. b_josh007: “Even at weddings that Jesus attended, He performed miracles for free, changing water into wine.”

2. horlar_mhoney: “There’s a lot of money in the music industry. Someone just said that Ronaldo could buy a portable house as a pet.”

3. zaza mula11: “Davido’s singing talent is remarkable, and he still outearns the likes of Wizkid and the emerging star Burna Boy.”

4. koko_btc0: “Now it makes sense why Davido might be hesitant to perform in Benin; who can afford such a fee?”

In another news snippet:

Popular Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire responded to comedian Kiekie’s remarks about sharing expenses with her husband. Kiekie, during an interview with Toke Makinwa, expressed her belief that as a married woman, she should contribute to rent payments, emphasizing that sharing expenses with one’s spouse fosters respect, adding, “So that when we want to divorce, we will share everything equally.”

Commenting on the widely circulated video, Ovire stated, “Just admit that you earn more than your husband, Kiekie, and then it becomes essential to split bills. It is my husband’s responsibility to cover the expenses, especially since he can afford it. My role is to manage the household and be available for emergencies. My man wouldn’t even let me pay a dime.”
