Who are the richest musicians in Nigeria? Music
has been paying heavily in Nigeria for the past ten
years. No wonder average Nigerian youths sees
music as one of the the quick means to wealth and
fame.
Why not! When a good number of artistes have
risen from nothing to something over the years,
enjoying wealth that can only be imagined by their
peers.
The question is Who is the richest among these
musicians and how much are they worth? Before
you read, I want you to have these in mind:-
- Net Worth does not necessarily mean the
amount of money you have in the bank. It is how
much you are worth as an asset base on your
works, your achievements, investments, and
popularity. So, when we talk about richest
musicians in Nigeria and their net worth, some of
the artistes mentioned may not have the said
amount of money in the bank. - Album/music sells is not the only means
musicians make money. They make much more
money from – YouTube partnership, Loyalties,
ringtones, concerts, sponsorships, endorsements,
and appearances.
These were factored into this rating to come up
with this robust, time tested ranking of richest
musicians in Nigeria. The best and most accurate
you can find anywhere on the internet. - This list is dynamic – it changes from time to
time. Someone who is on this ranking today may
not be here tomorrow. If you have an objection, state it in a civil
manner, utilizing the comment system below.
Here I present to you the top 20 richest musicians
in Nigeria and their estimated net worth.
Like I said before, this list is the most detailed and
most accurate you can find anywhere.

one of the Nigerian F.M Station, I knew something
serious was about to hit us.

The only hardcore rapper I’ve ever seen in Africa.
He does it like no other, providing new dimension
to rap music in Nigeria and Africa in general.
Phyno is to the Igbos what Olamide is for Yorubas
but he does it in a completely different fashion. So
good that rap haters like me are being forced to
like rap music.

with him for good reasons. He is hot in the

Nigeria. To me, he is better than M.I in terms of
flow.
Few days ago, the picture of when he was younger
and hustling hit the internet and you can see how
far this guy has been transformed from a naive
young boy to a world class superstar! Ice prince net
worth is – $4.35m

One of the craziest rapper in Nigeria and Africa. So
crazy he called himself Badoo. Olamide has built
name and fortune for himself in the music

was going to be big in the music industry in Africa.
His song with the highest YouTube view is “Eleda
Mi” with 1.2 million views. He was able to overtake
Patoranking due to the fact he has multiple singles
with collective views of more than 5million.
