Nigerian hip-hop artiste Phenom has revealed that Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy received a $5 million advance payment before signing a recording deal with American record label Atlantic Records in 2017.<\/p>\n

He claimed that Nigerian-American music executive Matthew \u2018Baus\u2019 Adesuyan, the owner of Bad Habit, an imprint of Atlantic Records, to which Burna Boy is signed, facilitated the payment.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Murder Dem\u2019 crooner disclosed this in the latest episode of The Yarns podcast.<\/p>\n

He also stated that he would return to rapping if presented with a $1 million advance payment offer from any record label.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIf you really want someone like me to rap, give me $1 million. Lock me up in the studio. Those rapping in America, they [music executives] give them big contracts. Even before Burna Boy made a comeback to music, the guy that gave him the connection to Atlantic Records [Matthew \u2018Baus\u2019 Adesuyan], they gave him [Burna Boy] $5 million when he was coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phenom said raving rappers like Odumodublvck would soon quit rapping for singing because hip-hop is no longer lucrative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone like Odumodublvck is given $100,000 advance by his label, he will have to drop rap, start singing and enter TikTok to make it back it for the label,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
