'Song writing worth more than N50m, was paid a lot of money'- Harry Song

“Before now we (songwriters) charged between N100, 000 and N200, 000 for a song. Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song. Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begin to appreciate songwriters.
They pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I don’t talk about them because Nigerian artistes don’t like it when the songwriters take credit for composing songs for them.”

On the Nelson Mandela tribute:
“The proceeds from the caller-back tune is actually worth more than N50m. Truth is, I was paid a lot of money; you know - when they say money that can change someone’s life. That’s the value of what I received .
“I can’t reveal the exact amount because we work as a team. So, all the money realised is shared among us. You just want to forget all the years of suffering. It’s not a mere hype because the money is there. The song is everywhere. You go to South-Africa , the girls are crazy about it.”
