Burna Boy richest Nigerian artiste, makes $80m in 2023 alone – Paul Okoye
Popular music executive Paulo Okoye has named Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy as the richest Nigerian musician, revealing the staggering amount he earned four years ago.
During an online video chat with popular podcaster Daddy Freeze, Paulo disclosed that Burna Boy is the top-grossing Nigerian artist, with his highest earnings recorded four years ago.
Paulo noted that Burna Boy made between 80 to 100 million dollars in 2020 alone, making him the highest-earning Nigerian artist in recent years.
He emphasized that no other Nigerian artist has come close to matching Burna Boy’s earnings, which have totaled around 100 million dollars over the past four years.
When asked by the host if Burna Boy has earned more money than Canadian rapper Drake, Paulo confirmed that the Afrobeats star made between 70 to 80 million dollars last year (2023) alone.
He also pointed out that Burna Boy’s current earnings, and those from the past two years, are not comparable to what he made four years ago.
Paulo praised Burna Boy’s modesty, noting that it helps conceal the vast amounts of money he earns. He also mentioned that Burna Boy’s management team consists of about eight people, including his mother, sister, and other relatives.
“Anybody that is making any ridiculous money is Burna Boy. What I’m explaining to you is that Burna Boy made at least 80 to 100 million dollars in the last four years alone. Don’t listen to what anybody tells you, Burna Boy is the richest, I’m telling you,” Paulo declared.
The music executive further added, “If Burna Boy didn’t make so much money last year (2023) alone, he made at least 70 to 80 million dollars.”
