“Our price went up after Big Brother Naija” -Wanni reveals
- Wanni X Handi, twin sisters and disc jockeys, have reported increased gig booking costs due to their popularity on reality TV show Big Brother Naija.
- Wanni, in an interview with Saturday Beats, mentioned increased gigs and increased prices due to increased recognition and opportunities.
Wanni, one half of the popular twin DJs duo, Wanni X Handi, has shared that the cost of booking them for events has significantly increased, especially following their rise to fame through their participation in the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Wanni revealed, “Before BBN, we were getting gigs, but now, we are getting more shows. Our price has gone up because more people know us, and there are more opportunities.”
The sisters are also excited about the return of the prestigious Headies awards ceremony to Nigeria. Wanni expressed, “It is amazing. The Headies has been happening for about 17 years now, and it is like the ‘core’ of afrobeats here in Nigeria. It is good that they are returning to base, and we get to experience such an amazing programme at home.”
Earlier, Wanni also shared why they chose to pursue a career as DJs, stating, “It just felt natural. It felt like food to be a DJ. As females, it felt like we were unapologetically owning that space, and it has been incredible. I’m excited to see what the future holds for our brand.”
