Why artistes can’t rely on streams revenue – Bad Boy Timz

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Fast rising Afrobeats singer, Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin, popularly known as Bad Boy Timz, has claimed that revenue generated from music streams is not substantial income for artists.

According to him, many artists reinvest their earnings from music streams on music promotion.

The ‘Forever Up’ crooner advised his colleagues to prioritise live shows, tours and sponsorship to generate more revenue.

Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, Timz said: “As an artist you cannot depend on music streams because it is not substantial. Most of the earnings from music streams are reinvested on promotion.

“So, what I do is go on tours. I’m always trying to get Visas to tour different countries. I have been touring for over a year now. So I advised my colleagues to make more money from shows and seek sponsorships.”
