This thing is surprising me; I tried to find out the richest musician in Nigeria and all the websites are ranking Wizkid above Davido which is unbelievable to me for the following reasons:

1. Davido takes cares of all his children and baby mamas (even though i don't know any of the baby mamas personally but they have not complained publicly, at least). But Wizkid's baby mamas always complain of neglect, so, if he's truly the richest musician in Nigeria why is he not taking care of them.

2. We have head of instances where Davido gifts expensive cars and other gifts to his boys and even people he meets on social media; but as for Wizkid, the only thing you will hear is people claiming he's owing them N15million debt for drinks and things like that, why is that so if he's truly the richest musician in Nigeria.

3. Davido was born into wealth and his family still very wealthy; but that cannot be said of Wizkid and you know that 1 rich man in the midst of 20 poor people is also a poor man.

See the list bellow:
