Seun Kuti Questions Source of Fellow Musicians’ Wealth
Maverick musician Seun Kuti has raised questions about the sources of wealth for some of his peers in the Nigerian music industry.
During a recent Instagram Live session, Kuti expressed skepticism about the substantial wealth some artists claim to have amassed, suggesting that their riches might not solely be from their musical careers.
Kuti, who has been touring internationally for over two decades, revealed that he is only now building his first house.
He pointed out the apparent disparity between his financial situation and that of other artists who seem to have acquired immense wealth despite having relatively short careers and fewer hit songs.
“I’ve been touring for over 20 years, and I’m just now building my first house.
Where is the music money coming from? Artists with barely two songs are already buying Lamborghinis and G-Wagons.
Where’s this music money coming from?” he questioned.
His comments come amidst a growing trend of Nigerian musicians publicly flaunting their affluence and discussing the profitability of the industry.
Rapper Shallipopi, in a recent interview, highlighted the lucrative nature of the music scene, attributing his financial breakthrough to the success of a few hit songs.
Similarly, controversial singer Portable previously claimed that the music industry offers more financial rewards than other high-risk ventures like rituals, fraud, or even football.
Kuti’s remarks invite a broader discussion about the true profitability of the Nigerian music industry and the transparency surrounding artists’ income sources, sparking curiosity and debate among fans and observers alike.

Davido, Nigerian singer David Adeleke, recently opened up about coping with the loss of loved ones. He has faced significant grief, including the deaths of his mother, his 3-year-old son Ifeanyi, and several close associates.
In a recent interview in New York, Davido shared that his faith has been his source of strength. “I’ve lost a lot of people, including my mother at eleven. My faith has kept me going,” he said.
He also addressed misconceptions, saying, “People think I’m unapproachable, while others say I’m too accessible. My success is God-given.”
Rihanna, the globally renowned singer and entrepreneur, recently opened up about her experiences as a mother, describing it as a unique and challenging journey.
The 36-year-old superstar, who is now a mother of two, playfully referred to the role of being a “boy mom” as an Olympic sport, highlighting the demanding yet rewarding nature of raising her sons.
She made this lighthearted remark while sharing a video on her X handle featuring her first son, RZA, attempting to climb out of his baby cot.
After several determined efforts, the young boy finally managed to escape, showcasing both his persistence and energy.
Rihanna captioned the clip with a humorous note: “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport.”
Rihanna and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first child, RZA, on May 19, 2022.
The birth came nearly a year after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship, marking a new chapter in their lives.
In August 2023, the couple expanded their family with the arrival of their second son, Riot Ross.
Despite rumors earlier this year suggesting that the Fenty Beauty founder was expecting her third child, Rihanna dispelled the speculation in an interview with ET.
However, she expressed her openness to having more children in the future.
Reflecting on her hopes for a daughter, she shared with Interview Magazine that she would “definitely” like to try for a girl, though she is equally content with her growing family of boys.
“I don’t know what God has planned, but I’m willing to have more than two kids.
I would love to try for a girl, but if it’s another boy, I’ll embrace it wholeheartedly,” Rihanna stated.
This is the video that has her calling having a boy child an “Olympic sport”.
