Popular Nigerian musician, Kelechi Austin Miles, known as Tekno, has debunked reports of him receiving royalties to the tune of N1 billion from ‘Buga’.
The 31-year-old was featured by Kizz Daniel in the 2022 global hit song, and according to a blog, Budget TV, he said he is paid 50 percent from the proceeds every month.
The blog also claimed that after te Buga Tour, Tekno said Kizz Daniel gave him close to a billion naira. But the ‘Pana’ crooner denied ever making such statement about his collaborative song with his colleague.
In the report, Budget TV quoted him as allegedly saying he did not expect anything from Kizz when he hopped on the single, however, he had to show gratitude for how much he makes.
The blog wrote: “I got on Kizz Daniel’s Buga with no sort of legal agreement. I wasn’t expecting anything from him. Wanted to be silent about this but I think some levels of gratitude deserve to be spoken of. Do y’all know Kizz Daniel sends me 50% of every revenue he generates from that song?
After his buga tour he sent me close to a Billion Naira and I was already shocked enough by that move. He didn’t end just there. Every month I receive millions as my own share of the revenue generated by Buga on streaming platforms… Kizz is a great guy I can’t lie ~ Tekno Reveals’.”
Reacting via his Twitter (X) page on Sunday, Tekno dismissed the interview as “fake”, noting that the money is not up to that amount.
On his X handle, he wrote: “Him money no reach. Anybody wey put out that fake interview, thunder fire your mama. #Talkingshit.”
