Nigerian Artiste's Worth. by emmablow11(m): 2:25pm On Dec 03, 2007
Nigerian artistes are doing good now compared to there counterparts around the globe.check out there achievements,



Tu Face
Tu Face is the owner of Hypertech Entertainment and 2babba, a clothing line.
Unassuming but very rich, Tu Face also bought for his dear mum a Toyota Camry in 2005. Though domiciled in Festac, Lagos at present, the father of two is already putting up a structure in Lekki where he hopes to move in with his close-knit family. In fact, sources disclosed that he has bought a duplex worth N25 million in Festac.
With album sales in excess of 1.5 million copies and a N30 million endorsement deal from Guinness Extra Smooth, there is no doubt about Tu Face’s financial solvency. When the MTV, a bespoke African music channel base made a debut, his African Queen video was the first to be aired. A few weeks later, he got a princely N5 million as royalty. Towards securing his future, the multiple award-winning act has kept his stockbrokers and financial analysts cum advisers busy with the frenzy at which he buys shares, stocks and bonds in blue-chip corporations. Similarly, his investment in landed properties has continued to befuddle close associates. Tu Face is the owner of Hypertech Entertainment and 2babba, a clothing line


D'Banj
D’Banj’s ‘device’, however, came at a whooping N10 million,he got a whooping N25 million from Nutricima, makers of Nutri C juice drink, to endorse the company’s new power drink, Power Feast. In order to consolidate his soaring popularity, a source close to him disclosed that he is working on featuring LL Cool J and Akon, two top American musicians who were recently in Nigeria for the Star mega jam, in his forthcoming album. D’banj was said to have paid LL Cool J $100,000 while Akon got $75,000. The astute chap is banking on the attendant royalties to recoup his investment. Those close to D’banj say he is also scouting for a property where he hopes to site his new project, a multi-purpose entertainment centre called Koko Island which would have a discotheque, bar and restaurant.Like American artistes are wont to do, D’banj, vice president, Mo’ Hits Records, has also launched his own clothing line, Koko Wears


Weird MC
December 11, last year, Sola Idowu, the diminutive rapper fondly called Weird MC, who set alight the dance floor with that bouncy single, Ijo Ya, walked into an auto mart in Lagos and left with a brand-new Nissan Xterra Jeep valued at N3 million. Prior to that time, the artiste cruised around town in a Golf GTI she bought in the early part of the year. However, Weird MC prefers to be ferried around in the luxury confines of rented limousines from Executive Coach. Full-day limousine hire goes for between N50,000 and N80,000. Business-conscious and savvy, Weird MC has been acquiring land in major parts of Lagos like Lekki and a developing town in Ogun State. She hopes to move into her own house in due course.


Dare Art Alade.
Dare Art Alade, baritone-voiced singer and scion of Art Alade, late showbiz impresario, also plays big in the league of comfortable hip hop artistes. A former on-air personality with Cool FM, the 25-year- old also complements his income with compeering at high-profile shows. As an undergraduate of the University of Lagos, where he graduated with a degree in Music, Alade was big in every sense. Apart from staying in the BQ, that was usually reserved for lecturers and which goes at exorbitant fees, he also rode a power-bike and a Peugeot 505. After his participation in the Project Fame, a music talent hunt show that held in South Africa, the Channel O Video Music Awards winner whose debut album has continued to serenade music buffs, relocated to Abuja where he reportedly drives a Land Cruiser.


P-Square.
P-Square, duo of Paul and Peter Okoye, their relocation to Lagos from their former Jos, Plateau State base has brought with it commensurate rewards. In fact, the lifestyle of the twin brothers would make a successful banker consider a career detour. Alongside their older brothers who also double as their managers, they live in a posh flat in Ilupeju, a highbrow area in Lagos. Towards the end of last year, the twin brothers, courtesy their marketer, T. Joe, got a glittering Toyota Sequoia V8 to swell their fleet which included a Nissan Altima, a Nissan Pathfinder and a Land Cruiser jeep. Soon, the twins would be moving into Lekki Phase 1 where they are eyeing a few properties.The duo of P.Square also has considerable investments in multinational companies and recently delved into property acquisition. Lekki, the playground of the rich, is their choice. They have invested heavily in their parents’ bakery business. Early this year, they acquired an N80 million piece of land in Rayfield area of Jos, Plateau State. The 20-plot land might be the base of their hotel business.


Modenine.
Olusegun Babatunde, the rapper widely known as Modenine, just bought himself a multi-milion naira Nissan Terano jeep


Jimmy Jatt
Jimmy Jatt, dee jay extraordinary and prospective hip hop act, surprised industry watchers when he bought a GMC Envoy and Nissan Xterra jeep simultaneously! His wife, on the other hand, drives a classy RAV 4. For somebody who has spent the last one and a half decade propagating the ideals of the hip hop culture with his spin skills, there is no better way, perhaps, to enjoy the dividends of his sweat.


Paul Play.
Paul Play Dairo is not so fixated upon Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island and the other hubs of the rich. The heir apparent to the late IK Dairo, veteran juju maestro musical dynasty, prefers the Queen’s enclave, London. It was gathered that the father of one got a mortgage to buy a mansion in a serene area of London. He runs Playground Entertainment and paints Lagos red in a BMW X5 jeep.


Tony Tetuila.
Tetuila, the Oro, Kwara State-born singer whose ascent to the top of his game has been nothing short of meteoric, investing the booties of the past few years in shares and stocks has helped to further secure a bright future.


Sunny Nneji.
Sunny Nneji was recently made the ambassador of the Tinapa project, an endorsement deal reportedly worth N40 million courtesy the Cross River State government. As if to buttress that he has really arrived, the Ogoja, Cross River State-born musician got himself an M Class jeep and passed over his former BMW 3 Series to madam. He also moved out of his former Alagbado residence into a more befitting duplex in Ogudu GRA. Hardly had he settled down to enjoy his loot when Chivita came with another endorsement deal worth about N15 million.
