How i sold my 2nd album for N24m – Timaya

Timaya has shared details about how much he earned from his debut and sophomore albums, highlighting how his early career deals shaped his rise in the industry.

In a recent chat with Okay Africa, the singer revealed that his first album was initially sold for N500,000 to a marketer at the popular Alaba market. Despite the modest sum, Timaya viewed it as a major breakthrough at the time.

He added that the same marketer later increased his investment after the album became a hit.

Following the success of his debut, Timaya’s second album attracted far more attention—and money. He explained that while one marketer offered N10 million, another company, Abu Ventures, came in with a better offer and sealed the deal at N24 million.

He said: “He gave me 7 million naira for the music video, paid for the videos, and even bought me a car. He called me a good market,”

“I was been priced at 10 million by the first marketer, then Abu Ventures came and offered to buy the album. He ended up paying 24 million for the album. At that point, only 2Baba, P-Square, and D’banj were paid that kind of money”
