Forget Streaming: Bad Boy Timz Says Tours Pay Better

Nigerian singer, Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin, aka Bad Boy Timz, has claimed that the revenue generated from music streams is not a sustainable income for artists.

He explained that many artists reinvest their earnings from music streams on music promotion.

The artist disclosed that he often seeks visas to go to other countries for tours, which is how he gets enough revenue from his music.

The ‘MJ’ crooner advised his colleagues to prioritise live shows, tours, and sponsorships to generate more revenue.

Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, Timz said:

“As an artist 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.”
