Burna Boy Declared Nigeria’s Richest Musician with $80 Million Earnings in 2023
Paulo Okoye, a well-known music executive, has declared that Burna Boy is Nigeria’s richest musician.
During an Instagram live session with prominent podcaster Daddy Freeze, Okoye shared that Burna Boy earned an impressive $80 million in 2023 alone.
Okoye emphasized Burna Boy’s extraordinary financial success, stating, “The only musician truly making significant money in Nigeria right now is Burna Boy.
Just four years ago, he was already earning between $80 to $100 million. Burna Boy stands out as the wealthiest in the industry.”
He went on to highlight Burna Boy’s unique approach to managing his business. “Burna Boy operates on a different scale.
What sets him apart is his tight-knit team, consisting mainly of his immediate family—his mother and sister, along with a few others. His core team comprises no more than eight people, with the rest being contractors or consultants.”
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
