What holds them back is the infrastructure that turns attention into income.
African creators have the talent and the audience.
That was the thread through “Can African players build the infrastructure creators need?”, a panel at Moonshot by TechCabal on Thursday.
The session featured Richard Oyome, co-founder and COO of Raenest; Kene Okwuosa, founder and group CEO of Filmhouse Group; Darey Art Alade, co-founder and chief creative officer of Livespot360; and Kopano Cowen, CEO of Connect Channel. Kehinde Odusote-Fagbule of TechCabal Insights moderated. The Nigerian Creator Economy Report 2025, found that 56.45% of Nigerian creators earn less than $100 a month from their work, while 3.23% earn more than $5,000. Money does reach some creators: Nigerian artists received more than ₦58 billion from Spotify in 2024, up 146% on 2023, according to the same report.
