“If you want to make money from live performances, normally lazima ukuwe na mziki tatu ama nne kwenda juu, to at least perform for like thirty minutes. Msanii mwenye ako na mziki moja, atalipwa pesa ya mziki moja, you have to be patient and consistent. Fans, promoters and corporate are always watching,” he noted in an interview with a local TV station.

But the 42 year old rapper dismissed claims of the existence of cartels in the music industry.

He said artists bring up allegations of cartels as an excuse to run away from reality and use is as a blame game.

“Cartel ni illusion yenye artiste ame-create, human beings wanapenda kurusha blame. The only way an artiste will reap the benefits is through his/her hard work, consistency…at which rate are you releasing good songs?” he posed.

In a past interview, Jua Cali revealed that he once received a fat cheque of Ksh700,000 for a single overnight performance.
