N30m: Comedian Basketmouth laments high cost of music video

Popular comedian and music executive, Bright Okpocha, known as Basketmouth, expressed his concerns about the exorbitant costs of music video production in Nigeria.

He noted that the industry standard fee for video production used to be 7-7.5 million Naira, but it has now risen to 27-30 million Naira.

Basketmouth cited this significant price increase as the reason he opted to create a cost-effective video for the lead track, 'Party,' from his upcoming album 'Uburu,' instead of spending over 25 million Naira on a standard video.

He shared these thoughts in a recent interview 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.’
