According to a published post on his timeline, the funnyman received a mere Ksh31 for his ring-back tunes while fellow entertainer Eddie Butita received Ksh86 for his ‘Kidesign’ song.
On their socials, the two entertainers took a swipe at the giant service provider explaining the struggles that Kenyan artists encounter constantly.
According to Butita, their payment was kept on hold not unless they hit the Sh100 limit required before withdrawing.
” @khaligraph_jones ulisema kukua msanii katika Nchi tukufu ya Kenya ni kujitolea,” Butita captioned a screenshot showing his meagre salary.
According to fellow musician KRG the Don, he is surprised that “Skiza Tunes” collects a lot of money from struggling Kenyan entertainers using the call-back services while failing to remunerate content creators lucratively as expected.
Skiza Tunes was founded in 2009 and by 2017, data records show that about 132,000 tunes were downloaded by call service users.
As it turns out, unfortunately, Kenyan content creators feel that the third-party venture is only out to exploit individuals in the industry.
