The Dark Side of Afrobeats Nobody Talks About - WurlD
WurlD went digging through his own royalty data and found somebody else's name sitting where his publisher should be. Three, four years of money had already moved. He only caught it because he knew what to look for.
Back in 2015 he started showing Nigerian producers how to register their records properly. IPI numbers, publishing splits, performing rights organizations, all of it. "I made some enem
Nigerian Fragrance Founder Reveals How She Got into Sephora and Raised $500,000
She spent $225,000 of her own money on a brand that hadn't sold a single bottle yet.
Before that, she priced her first fragrance at $250 and the internet came for her. "Who do you think you are? You're not Gucci. You're not Creed." Her team told her the price is the price. She sold out, did over a million dollars in six months, and people started reselling the bottles on eBay for $600.

Preston Ideh: Why Data is the Most Valuable Asset in Africa
Preston Ideh is the co-founder and CEO of Stears, the company building the data infrastructure for African markets (think Crunchbase meets the Bloomberg Terminal, built for Africa). A UK-qualified lawyer who walked away from big law, moved back to Nigeria, and bet everything on one idea: information is power, and Africa is dangerously under-documented.

Eni Aluko: How Suing The FA Made Her More Money Than Playing For England

The Hidden Truth About Streaming Money (No One Says This)
YCee disappeared for four years. The story behind why is heavier than anyone knew.
In 2020, at the peak of his run — Jagaban everywhere, Juice on every aux, sold-out shows, a sound that helped define Afrobeats — he got diagnosed with bipolar disorder. What followed was six years of meds that fogged his creativity, hospitalizations, a Nigerian mental health system not built for it, and the strange
Seven-Figure Founder: Social Media Has Changed. Here's What's Working Now
