Burna Boy Counting The Cash Already: Alaba Boys Buy Rights To L.I.F.E For N10 Million

Not like we weren’t expecting this, but just few weeks after the release of his much anticipated debut album, L.I.F.E, Burna and his crew are ALREADY getting rewards. iWord on the street is that, Uba Pacific – famous Alaba marketer- parted with a sum of N10 million to buy the rights to the fast-selling album. Uba Pacific, who was not originally convinced it would be ‘business-smart’ to drop that amount of money for a debut album, was swayed when he realized how much and how fast the Port-harcourt based Burna boy’s album was selling. Apparently, a staggering 40, 000 copies were sold on the first day. This comes as a shock because, Alaba Marketers were reportedly said to have stopped buying the rights to musicians’ albums, preferring to rather share the royalties made from the sale of the album.
