Cost of music video now N30m – Comedian Basketmouth laments

Bright Okpocha known as Basketmouth, a well-known comedian and music businessman, has lamented the growing cost of music video production expenses in Nigeria.

According to him, the industry normal fee was 7 – 7.5 million Naira, but it is now 27 – 30 million Naira.

The humorous actor explained that the price increase prompted him to produce a holdup video for ‘Party,’ the lead single from his upcoming album, ‘Uburu,’ rather than spending over N25 million on a regular video.

Basketmouth recently spoke with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos.

He said, “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.’
