Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez turned to social media to express his opinion after British producer Jae5 revealed that he charges 20 million Naira for a beat.

Jae5 on his Twitter account today, Monday, July 18, 2022, revealed that he charges 25k USD for a beat and warned artists not to engage him unless they have the full payment.

He also threatened to sue anyone who remakes his beat and revealed that the only people he charges below the stated amount are the music group, NSG and that’s because they are family.

In his words;

“It’s £25,000 for a beat from me, do not book a session with me knowing full well you can’t afford the price it’s a disrespect! And if u try reproduce my thing my lawyer will sue u for your little £10 earnings behave yourself. Only ppl who pay under 10 are NSG AND THATS BLOOD.”

Rapper, Blaqbonez took to Twitter to react to the producer’s revelation, telling fans that should he pay Jae5 that amount for a beat, fans should endeavour to stream the song.

According to him, if fans don’t do so, he and his label would end up going bankrupt.
