“Even whenever you get signed to a giant file label as an artist, you first need to drop a music with international attraction earlier than you begin making serious money. It took 2–3 months after Don Jazzy signed me earlier than I began incomes from music.

“Before the money started coming, I was struggling with bills and family responsibilities. The worst part is that if I ask people for financial assistance, they would say I am signed to a big label, and money shouldn’t be my problem.

“It was tough as a result of I needed to preserve the approach to life of a celebrity with costly designer garments. But ultimately, the money began coming. One hit music can earn you N500,000–N700,000 per present, whereas one other hit can take your payment to N1.5 million,” Magixx acknowledged.
