Famous comedian and music entrepreneur, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has criticized the outrageous music video production fees in Nigeria.
According to him, the industry’s standard fee was around 7 – 7.5 million Naira but now 27 – 30 million Naira.
Basketmouth said this in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos.
“The visual we have for my song ‘Party’ with Peruzzi is not an official video. It’s just like a holdup because I did not know that the economy has hit us that bad. 2 years ago, I used to make videos for 7 – 7.5 million Naira. Now, it is 27 – 30 million Naira.
“I’m an Igbo man so the first thing I thought about was, ‘Okay Bright, if you’re spending N25m on visuals, it’s for uptick, right? Then do a holdup video, do something for uptick as well.” He said.
