nw i get it.dats true k1 is a phukin money bag but others are not in d league of most hhp artist.

experts:

u guys talk with carefully knowing facts,



Saheed osupa is the best selling fuji artist since 2008 till date,

he sold 1 million copy of his Mr.music album in d first week of its release at the rate of 500naira per copy,

as i said earlier,we try to book him for a show, but to my surprise the whole date has been booked till October 16, like two months before d date, and he collected 1.5m, if he collect d same for the other two months show 4 our date, 1.5m x 60 days and many more to come, enough money spray on d show, after show,they sell Cds of every days shows, ha ha RND and HIp Hop go die to make such cash

They even Go to 2 ,3 shows a day sometimes, i dont no of other artist nw, but i can bet that saheed has show from till February next year

saheed has over 5 houses now, and many business investment,

from an interview

While he did not deny hitting a goldmine with his previous three-in-one work, Endorsement, reputed to be the best-selling Fuji music album ever, he revealed his earnings and what he did with it this way: “It fetched me millions of naira and it is one of the highest I've earned as royalty on an album as an artiste. I used the money to build the house I commissioned in Ibadan. I bought the uncompleted building for N12million and I carried out extensive renovation just to make it alluring. I spent about N50million on the building project. I bought some security doors at N800, 000 unit price and I purchased about 23 of such. So, you can see that it is not a small house. Though I won't leave Surulere where I reside, I just want to use the house to make some noise in town and tell my fans that their love for me and my band is not wasted. I have choice properties in many other places. I've just completed one in Ajao Estate. It cost me N50 million. Apart from other houses that I built in various parts of Lagos, efforts are in top gear concerning my 52-building estate project somewhere near Ikorodu. But I must confess that my fans have been wonderful. Even the Chrysler car I bought, I don't usually ride in it. You'll often see me in the Lexus SUV. And because of what the Holy Quran teaches me, I don't boast about what God has given me. I've not cruised in my Hummer SUV for more than three times; it is parked in one of my houses. I bought the car for N8.5million when a friend insisted that I must ride in some of the best cars in the world because of his love for me.”

Abi una wan deny say dem fuji artists no dey carry drugs?

afam4eva:

I've never thought those fuji guys are richer than our A-list RnB musicians.But i know they are damn rich but most of the money they get definitly not from music.

afam4eva:

It's simply logical. Here are the reasons why they can't be richer

1) Does any fuji artist sell more than Tuface or PSqaure? NO

afam4eva:


2) Are Nationally and Internationally recognized like their RnB peers. NO

afam4eva:



Like my fellow Igbo brother said, they are only known in the south west and the few shows they do outside the southwest are shows organized by yorubas. Let's not always reduce everything to tribal bias.  You can't compare that to PSQuare fo example that are Nationally, Africanly(If there's any word like that) and Internationally recognized.

afam4eva:

Infact those fuji musicians are no different from their IGBO counterparts. I mean Igbo singing musicians.
