P-Square Tops List Of Richest Musicians
P-Square has
unarguably emerged the richest musician in Nigeria. This is according to a publication in the internet. Music has been paying heavily in Nigeria for the past ten years as an average Nigerian youth sees music as the quickest means to amass wealth and acquire fame, especially when a good number of artistes have risen from grass to grace over the years, enjoying wealth that can only be imagined by average people.
In music, the popularity of the artistes determine their worth. One of the means of knowing how popular a musician or music is, is by checking out its ‘You tube slat,’ if you have a great stat on your ‘You Tube’ then, you are a great artiste making good money.
The musician’s net worth does not necessarily mean the amount of money he or she has in his bank account, but how much you are worth as in assets base, your works, achievements, and popularity. Album or music sells is not the only means musicians make money, they make more money through “You Tube” partnership, royalties, ring tones, concerts, sponsorships, endorsements and appearances.
These were factored into this rating to come out with this robust, time tested ranking of the richest musicians in Nigeria. It is dynamic as it changes from time to time. One who is on this ranking today may not be here tomorrow.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
