Nigerian singer Lyta has sparked widespread online debate after claiming he charges N10 million per show and once earned N30 million from a single performance, a statement that has reignited discussions about his current relevance in the music industry. The revelation came during a recent conversation where the artist confidently stated his fee structure, prompting reactions ranging from admiration to skepticism across social media platforms.
