Nigerian talent manager, Paulo Okoye has stirred the internet with his bombshell revelation about Grammy singer, Burna Boy.
In an interview with media personality, Daddy Freeze, he named Burna Boy as the richest artiste in Nigeria. According to him, the Grammy award winning singer earned between $80 or $70 million in 2023 alone. He noted how the music star doesn’t have a large unit of people working for him.
The lover of Iyabo Ojo further explained that Burna has his mother, sister, mother’s brother and a few people who work for him. He noted how the singer doesn’t brag about his earnings or net worth.
Speaking about Rema, he stated that the Mavins singer overprices himself. He further stated that the singer is one of the most sought after young artist with a good reputation abroad.
“Burna Boy is the richest of them all, He is the only person making ridiculous money. He makes about $70million to $80million a year. He is the only Nigerian artist making real money. He made at least $100m 4 years ago”.
His statement has no doubt caused a stir online as many took to the comment section to weigh into it.
