The Power of Partnerships in Creative Freedom | Creative Summit Interviews
Is Afrobeats actually making money, or are Nigerian artists being exploited? Discover the secret blueprint to fixing industry structures and maximizing your music IP monetization globally.
In this exclusive coverage from the Creative Summit, industry experts, legal authorities, and top stakeholders sit down with BusinessDay Television to expose the structural gaps holding the Nigerian music economy back. While Afrobeats commands global visibility—filling out stadiums and arenas worldwide—a staggering comparison with South Korea’s K-Pop industry reveals a massive gap in actual revenue collection and systemic infrastructure.
We break down the brand-new Nigerian Music Industry Roadmap, the foundation of the national Music Business Council, and plans for a tertiary Center of Excellence designed to canonize African music history. Furthermore, entertainment lawyers outline the exact contract pitfalls rising talent must avoid—from master rights ownership and publishing splits to reversion clauses and post-termination traps. If you want to understand how music financing, CMO reforms, and intellectual property protection will dictate the future of African entertainment, this is a must-watch.
