History
editThe main services are music and movie streaming.[11][12] There are two subscription tiers: The Freemium (free) and Premium (paid) offerings. The service is available on Web and via mobile apps.[13][14]
The channel pays royalties to artists.[15] The service allows artists keep 75% of their songs proceeds through its Fair Trade Streaming agreement.[16]
9janimi[17][18] is a Yoruba phrase, which means "I’m a Nigerian".
9janimi Channel[19] was established in 2010 in Lagos, Nigeria by Soltesh Iyere.[20] To further assist in the expansion of the streaming service in Africa, they've also partnered with Bashro Beats[21] in the United Kingdom to deliver services to Nigerians there. The Channel was formerly an online compendium of hip hop news, gossip and top-ten music charts.[22][23] With singer-songwriter Halle Mordu[24][25][26] and model Idia Aisien are its brand ambassadors.[8][27][28][29]
