‘I’m building my first house after 20 years – Seun Kuti queries colleagues source of wealth

• Kuti doubted the wealth of his colleagues during an Instagram Live session, denying that their significant wealth may be derived from musical earnings.

• Despite 20 years of touring, he is only building his first house, while artists with less than two hit songs are wealthier.

Maverick artist Seun Kuti has raised questions regarding the sources of wealth among his peers in the music industry.

During a recent session on Instagram Live, Kuti expressed skepticism about the financial success of some of his fellow musicians, suggesting that their substantial wealth is unlikely to stem solely from their musical endeavors.

He noted that despite having toured for two decades, he is only now constructing his first home, while artists with fewer than two successful songs appear to be more affluent than he is.

Kuti said: “I have been touring for over 20 years, and I’m only just building my first house. Where is the music money coming from? Musician never get two songs, he don buy Lamborghini and G-wagon. Where’s this music money coming from?”

According to Gistlover, a growing number of Nigerian artists have recently begun to boast about the profitability of the music industry.

Rapper Shallipopi previously mentioned in an interview that there is significant financial opportunity within the music sector, emphasizing that his own financial success followed the release of several hit songs.

Singer Portable has also asserted that the music industry offers more financial gain than rituals, fraud, and even football.
