Popular singer and songwriter, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, known by his stage name, Iyanya, has revealed that he spent a whopping sum of N52 million on the song he recorded with music star, Davido and Kizz Daniel.
He made the revelation through his Twitter account while expressing shock at how expensive promoting songs have become in Nigeria.
Iyanya said that the amount he mentioned covered recording of the song titled βΛLike`, shooting music video and promotion before as well as after its release.
