CRAZY RIGHT ?
Most Record labels offer a 80/20 deals or at most 70/30 deals for new artistes .

Naira Marley revealed that when he came to Nigeria , everything was going well and he was making SO MUCH MONEY . He couldn’t eat alone so he decided to start Marlian music .
His main idea was not to make money so he decided to sign Mohbad and Zino . He offered them a 50/50 deals . The label
Sponsors everything and anything that comes in they share 50/50 . To him Mohbad and Zino were his brothers and he gave them 100%
Freedom
. He was not controlling what you want to sing or drop .
This is the best deal we’ve seen in the history of Nigerian music. You only get this kind of deal when you are Popular .
Moral lesson : Naira loved Mohbad like a brother . Look at Zino ,’look at the properties he owns . That tells you he has a very good deal .
