Mansion Snoop Dogg bought for $700k in 1998 now worth astonishing amount<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not entirely clear where Snoop Dogg got that figure from, as Spotify typically pays artists around $0.0035 per stream on average.<\/p>\n That money doesn\u2019t entirely go to the artist, though, with other parties such as record labels, managers, credited songwriters as well as Spotify taking a cut, too.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve got to feel for Snoop, who recently revealed a massive and unexpected life-change<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a>Unearthed Sound<\/p>\n If you were to use the same estimate as Swift, Snoop Dogg should realistically be bringing in somewhere between $3-4 million from Spotify.<\/p>\n What more, there isn\u2019t a label siphoning revenue away from him.<\/p>\n The rapper, real name Calvin Broadus, made the revelation and explained what drew him to NFTs, in an interview with the Business Untitled<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n <\/a>speaks onstage during day one of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015 at Pier 70 on September 21, 2015 in San Francisco, California.<\/p>\n \u201cLet me tell you the thing that worked with me, it was simple, it was transparency,\u201d he said, explaining why he was initially drawn to NFTs.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what the music industry and the film industry doesn\u2019t have, so this was a way to show transparency. <\/p>\n \u201cGive me a song, give me a song, I\u2019m taking 60 percent \u2019cause I\u2019m putting it out for you, you getting 40 percent that may sound like a lot but you just made $100,000.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of which, Snoop Dogg was one of a number of celebrities being sued for shilling NFTs<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThey just sent me some sh*t from Spotify, where I got a billion streams, right? <\/p>\n \u201cMy publisher hit me. I said, \u2018Break that down, how much money is that?\u2019 That sh*t wasn\u2019t even $45,000. \u2026 You see what I\u2019m saying? <\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s like, when this sh*t came out, I could tell an artist that same song that you put out traditionally that didn\u2019t make no money, give it to me. Every time you sell it if somebody else sell it you get 10 percent of it.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Snoop Dogg revealed how much Spotify paid him for getting 1 billion streams<\/a> appeared first on Supercar Blondie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to Snoop Dogg, he only made $45,000 from one billion streams on Spotify.
