Kuami Eugene says his contribution to the hit song Love Nwantiti continues to bring in significant revenue years after the track took over charts across the world.
In an interview with Headless YouTuber, the award-winning artiste opened up about how the song has remained one of the most rewarding projects of his career, both financially and globally.
“The massive world hit that I’ve had, besides Angela, I’m on Love Nwantiti, which is one of the biggest songs in the world ever. That song is still paying us in our sleep,” he said.
According to Kuami Eugene, he still earns royalties whenever Joeboy performs the verse he contributed to the record.
“Anytime Joeboy sings my verse, I get an alert,” he stated.
The singer also recalled being recognised unexpectedly during a visit to China. He said he initially struggled to understand why fans wanted photos with him until he heard the song playing.
“I was in China and they were rushing to take pictures with me and I was surprised. I was like, what will my music be doing there? Then I heard them playing the song for me to hear and I realised it’s Love Nwantiti,” he shared.
Kuami Eugene revealed that the success of the track has outperformed many of his own releases in terms of earnings.
“I get more alert from that song alone. I made so much money from Love Nwantiti, and I’m still making money from it,” he added.
Beyond collaborations, the musician explained that his income also comes from publishing, performance rights and royalties tied to his catalogue.
“YouTube sent me a message that my song is number one in the world. I thought it was my song so I quickly rushed to check it and I realised it’s not my song. Since I’m on the song, I’m still getting percentages all the time,” Kuami Eugene said.
Reflecting on his journey, the singer said he believes his success was part of a bigger plan.
“It’s been a journey, but God prepared me. I just love the fact that God prepared me for this thing. He gave me the idea to secure myself for the future.”
The former Lynx Entertainment artiste also spoke about the financial arrangement surrounding songs created during his time with the label. He explained that the company continues to receive a percentage from projects it funded because it owns the masters.
“Then, coming to my songs, I’m no longer with Lynx Entertainment, so it’s 50/50 with everything I make. Everything I worked with them on because they own the masters, so they still have 50% of some of the things that are not intellectual. They can’t touch my intellectual properties, but with the things they funded, it’s their project, so they still have a chunk percentage of it,” he noted.
He added that publishing and performance royalties still contribute heavily to his income, saying the returns from music have helped secure his family’s future.
