Forbes Names Davido Africa’s Richest Artist, Sparks Fan Debate
Forbes has named Nigerian Afrobeat star Davido the richest artist in Africa for 2024, sparking debate among fans. The American business magazine also included other entertainment heavyweights like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, and Don Jazzy in the top five.
\Davido led with an estimated net worth of $100 million, followed by Don Jazzy at $50 million, Burna Boy with $30 million, Wizkid at $25 million, and Rema with $15 million.
The ranking surprised many Nigerians, as fans of Wizkid and Burna Boy were unhappy with Davido taking the top spot. Rema’s inclusion, moving him into the “Big Four” of Nigerian music, further fueled conversations. The Forbes list has intensified existing rivalries, particularly between Davido and Wizkid, whose recent online feud has been a major topic on social media.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
