The 31-year-old was featured by Kizz Daniel in the 2022 global hit song, and according to a blog, Budget TV, he said he is paid 50 percent from the proceeds every month.

In the report, Budget TV quoted Tekno as saying: “I got on Kizz Daniel’s Buga with no sort of legal agreement. I wasn’t expecting anything from him.

Wanted to be silent about this but I think some levels of gratitude deserve to be spoken of. Do y’all know Kizz Daniel sends me 50% of every revenue he generates from that song?”
