In a chat with broadcaster Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, he stated that in the past, both singers earned up to $4m and $5m but it has dropped to $2m (3.2b) and $3m (N4.8b) in 2023 and 2024.

According to the show promoter, these singers were usually in high demand and every event wanted them in attendance. However, there has been a drop in that regard.

Several netizens wondered how Paulo had an idea of what the artistes earn. Daddy Freeze reminded them that Paulo runs the biggest Indigenous concert in Nigeria – One Africa. Besides, he got Davido, Kizz Daniel, and Tiwa Savage their first endorsement deals.

He also stated that the music executive should be given his flowers.

Paulo Okoye gets appreciated by Iyabo

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Iyabo Ojo had expressed gratitude to her partner, Paul Okoye, for standing by her when Verydarkman tackled her online.

Her action came after the drama that ensued after singer Davido got married to Chioma in Lagos on June 25.

Several dignitaries attended with different time entries on their cards and VDM used it to come for Iyabo whom he felt had a 5 pm invite.
