Wizkid is ambassador for Glo and not Mtn

Akon is 4rm Africa bt he's nt based here...he just did collaborations wit African artistes so i dnt tink he shuld be on dat list...
The list should contain artistes based in Africa...not artistes 4rm Africa...and if it's d latter den WALE and JIDENNAH shuld make d cut coz both of 'em will be richer dan most pple on dat list

I agree with you on d akon issue, but on wale and jidenna I don't think so just cause they are based in the us doesn't make dem richer than our local musicians

endorsements matters a lot, had it been a situation where you only earn as an artiste from shows and album sales, I think olamide and m.i would have made the list kcee not so much

Cool

The period of times akon has stayed in africa this past few years, one can hardly decide where he is based tho his family doesnt frequently come down here except from his kid sis who stays in senegal. Kon has biznesses in africa he his runnin.
