Young Jonn Claps Back at Allegations of Charging 15 Million Naira for Performances
Nigerian singer and producer, Young Jonn, has taken to social media to address recent claims suggesting that he charges a hefty fee of 15 million naira for his performances.
The controversy arose amid discussions about the pricing strategies of Nigerian artists, particularly in the context of the rising popularity of Afrobeats on the global stage.
With concerns about the evolving landscape of the music industry and the financial expectations set by some artists for performances within Nigeria, a social media user specifically pointed out Young Jonn as one of those charging what some consider to be exorbitant fees.
In response, the ‘Sharpally’ crooner took to his X handle to defend himself against what he perceives as an undervaluation of his hard work. His post read, “Just like you have done today, tomorrow the world will devalue, discredit and disrespect your work regardless of the sacrifice, sweat, or work you’ve put in! WEREY!”
Young Jonn’s candid response sheds light on the challenges faced by artists in navigating the balance between artistic value and financial expectations.
