• Badboy Timz, an acclaimed musician, advises his fellow artists to reinvest their earnings from online streaming back into music promotion.

Budding Nigerian musician Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin, also known as Bad Boy Timz, has stated that artists cannot rely solely on music streams for income.

He revealed this in a recent interview with Hip TV, where he emphasized that stream revenue does not provide a significant income for musicians.

Badboy Timz said that many artists reinvest their online streaming earnings into music promotion. He explained that he makes money by going on trips on a regular basis, and he recommended his coworkers to do the same.

The singer said: “As an artiste 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.”
