Nigerian singer, Augustine Miles Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno, has denied claims that he received royalties worth almost N1 billion from Kizz Daniel for their hit song ‘Buga’.
In May 2022, the duo put out the hit song which enjoyed massive reception across different countries.
But on Sunday, a blog alleged that they had an interview with Tekno, wherein he said he “got featured on the song with no legal agreement”.
The post also claimed the ‘Pana’ singer “said Kizz Daniel sends him 50 percent of the revenue generated from the song every month”.
It alleged that the 31-year-old “admitted to receiving almost N1 billion from Daniel after his ‘Buga’ tour”.
