The cost of a music video is now N30m.
Basketmouth explained this when revealing the real reason he is yet to shoot a video for one of his songs ‘Party’.
He revealed this on the Beat 99.9 FM saying music directors now charge between N25m – N30m, and as an Igbo man, one must be wise.
So he said he decided to do a holdup video with Peruzi.
‘Party’ is the lead track from his upcoming album, ‘Uburu’.
His words; “The visual we have for my song ‘Party’ with Peruzzi is not an official video. It’s just like a holdup because I did not know that the economy has hit us that bad. 2 years ago, I used to make videos for 7 – 7.5 million Naira. Now, it is 27 – 30 million Naira.
“I’m an Igbo man so the first thing I thought about was, ‘Okay Bright, if you’re spending N25m on visuals, it’s for uptick, right? Then do a holdup video, do something for uptick as well
