BNXN lists what he makes

Listing the amount of dollars he makes on each platform, he said if he has one million streams on Apple, he gets $7,500 while on Spotify, he gets $5,500.

The music act, who shot his song in Jerusalem, added that money was needed for ideas to flourish. He encouraged artists to look for money to make up for the idea they have in their heads.

Giving more insights, he noted that he wished there was an artist bank where talents can present their ideas, and they would gauge it to know what it was worth and give them loans to fast track their ideas.
