“Only a few Afrobeat singer are making money”- Paulo Okoye

Talent manager Paulo Okoye has shared his concerns regarding the state of Afrobeats, claiming the genre is experiencing a downturn.

He observed that three years ago, artists were more successful, but now only a small number are earning money.

Paulo noted that this is a genuine issue, as he can count the thriving Afrobeats artists on one hand.

He also indicated that this decline is affecting both the global influence and local opportunities for the genre.

He wrote:

“Afrobeats is going through a lot lately!! Every Afrobeat artist was doing way better 3 years ago compared to today!!

Only a few are making money at the moment, and that’s a fact!!

can count on my one hand the Afrobeat artists who are making money Now!!

Globally things are falling apart for Afrobeats.

Locally, it’s even worse: no money anywhere.

Our bright stars will continue to shine and the world will continue to recognize our greatness.

Afrobeat is going through a lot lately”.
