TG Omori's tweet about the future of music video royalties was met with mixed reactions, with some expressing support for the idea while others questioning the director's worth and calling his request for 10% in royalties greedy.

TG Omori saying he would be getting 10% royalties from the streaming income of the videos he shoots is weird and greedy!

I don’t have problem with what TG Omori said about directors collecting royalties from the video they shoot for artistes. I just want him to implement it and see how it goes. Seeing is believing especially in this Nigerian music industry. Let’s see if it’s achievable or not.

Producers would charge you for the music, and obviously 50% on the publishing sheets, song writers and all other contributors to the music go share the remaining 50%, Record label go take their cut for the masters, producers even take 20% on the masters, TG omori wetin remain? ?
