The viral post had claimed that the singer, in an interview, disclosed how he got paid millions on “Buga ” collaboration despite not signing a legal agreement with the “Twe Twe” crooner, Kizz Daniel.
In a series of posts by X accounts like, @budgettvafrica, and others. The post goes thus;
“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.
