Endorsement;

An artist with a huge fanbase has wider coverage and influence that translate into a high degree of returns, brands always look out for this quality when considering whose eligible or fit into their goals and objectives, and thus helping the artist bag endorsement.

Streams;

This is the most important part, especially in the digital streaming era, streams metamorphose into coins directly to the artist’s bag, so more fans are equal to more money, it also a metric to measure how big a song has become.

Award;

Some awards categories are won via popularity contests, having a big fanbase simply helps in carting awards in a voting category, every artist at some point dreams to have as many awards to its name for the records or just as bragging rights.

Defense;

An artiste with a huge fanbase doesn’t need to talk or stress over trolls or unwarranted critics, the stans are there waiting to feast on anybody that comes close, for example, Wizkid FC or Icons can practically send someone into depression or deactivate from social media.

In conclusion, it’s an important growth in the Nigerian music industry for the emerging stan culture as they make the conversation interestingly fun.
