Unconventional Singer, Seun Kuti, has questioned his music industry peers about the origins of their riches.
In a recent Instagram Live session, Kuti voiced skepticism regarding the wealth of some fellow musicians, casting doubt on whether their significant fortunes stem solely from music-related income.
He highlighted that despite his two-decade-long touring career, he is only now constructing his first home, while artists with fewer than two hit songs surpass him in wealth.

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? Musicians never get two songs, he don buy Lamborghini and G-wagon. Where’s this music money coming from?”
Recent reports indicate that Nigerian artists have increasingly been vocal about the profitability of the music industry.
Rapper Shallipopi previously mentioned in an interview that there is a significant amount of money in the music industry, highlighting that his financial success began after releasing a few hit songs.
Singer, Portable once claimed that there’s more money in the music industry than rituals, fraud, and football.
