Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy makes a shocking claim about music streaming in Africa.

The Managing Director of Spotify, Sub-Saharan Africa, Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy has just revealed that artists from countries like Belgium and Chile still receive more streaming income than the whole of Africa due to issues concerning digitalization and ownership which are still major problems in the Afrobeats genre.
