Mr banks for Twitter dey show $4M portfolio and they even lose $1M in a day. Yet Ibime is using $2M in 2019 to troll Davido. Repent o

Na him own mouth he use talk the money him get, and even that one na formings. In his own words, abi he dey underrate himself?

Omoge meta'n sere, bhad, baddo, baddest
Owo mi o kere o, bhad, baddo, baddest
I get plenty kele, fresh fresher, freshest
I get like 2million dollars
No be asset eh eh
Some people say dem bad like
Me but nobody badder than
Some people wan buy car like me
But dem money no reach gan
I cover magazine, I cover magazine
I see am for my dream, I see am for my dream
Mr Dele na my boy, Dele na my boy
If you come into my house you go see my toys

So scratch every sense of bigness you thought existed as of 2019.

Na from 2019 wey Nigerian artistes begin see big dolapo from touring money, and Burna and Wizzy led the wave, especially Burna. One year earnings from 2019 till now will equalise any bar Davido saw from 2010 to 2019

monerozi5590:
His album Timeless received so many nominations. Even " Unavailable" was a hit song then. Make we talk truth.

E fit hit for una ear, dat one no consign me. Na African hit like Kizz Daniel hits, e no dey travel well internationally

Davido is home based and has all the power at home making local DJs to dey play him songs upandan giving you false sense of how big his song is. BBC no dey play am at all. If one hour pass and BBC no play one Burna song, make I bend.

afrodoc2:
So, Mark Angel has $3.7m to lose?

He has that money easy. Whether he has it to lose na another question. Na why him say it was his worst year cos the thing go pain am die

Amigoss:
Where dem Adele,dua lupa,harry styles,liam Gallagher,sam smith,Stormzy even skepta kon dey

Adele and most of these no too dey active these last 4 years except Dua Lipa and Harry Styles. Burna is in their category at least based on radio spins. I dey tell you wetin I dey hear for radio everyday. I drive to Birmingham 2hrs drive 4 times a week and I know wetin Radio dey play, Burna na top 5

Who be Skepta? Even Stormzy no reach

For urban music, top 3 na Burna, Central Cee and Dave.

If Burna dey do show anywhere for UK, go check the Facebook page, Oyinbo people go dey tag themselves upandan saying we must go. And Burna dey price show like A list stars (£80 minimum and above), no be those benddown select pricing wey Davido go need do to fill seats

Melvyn11:
Davido can also get the same $2M in one show now. I really don't get your argument. From 2019 till now If Burna boy has earned more than Davido it won't be more than $5M max. Davido has performed at the world cup while Burna did the champions league final. Davido was rumoured to get paid 8 to $10M while Burna got $2 to 5M. When we add music plus others together Davido na still big man for where Burna boy dey. That na why he's always pained.

Which $2m per show. If e easy make he do am. You already showed us the highest grossing concerts by African artists yesterday. Burna na no 1 to 10, while your boy Davido is combining with 50 Cent and Mary J Blige to sell Tottenham stadium that Burna and WizKid sell on their own with ease.

No dey change mouth. Na one year of show money Burna go use equalise Davido whole career earnings

Melvyn11:
When it comes to tours and shows we nor follow Burna boy drag that one

Melvyn11:
This part na premium lamba. Burna boy has not made up $30million dollars over the last 4 years as pure profit talkless of $45M. I mean take home profit. Even De bruyne who earns 400k weekly takes two years plus to make $40M.

N30bln is a statement of purpose for Davido, not an achievement. The only achievement we know is "I get $2m dollars no be assets"

Burna has an £8m house in London, similar house in LA, about $3m worth of cars parked in Lagos, and you think he hasn't seen $30m. Same Burna that turned down $5m show in Dubai cos he can't smoke Igbo there. Burna revenue evidence is everywhere.

For Davido to fill Tottenham stadium, he is having to combine with 50 Cent and Mary J Blige to split money 3 ways. Something WizKid and Burna sellout with ease 2 nights in a row. As big as Davido is in Nigeria, Nigerians can't actually believe he is a local Champion on the international stage.

Melvyn11:
You still haven't told us how much Atlantic is taking from all these his so called revenue. When we do plus and minus he might be getting 20 to 40% maximum. Without Music Davido still get get money pass Burna. Davido has set up boys in the music industry as well who are doing good in their own ways.

Atlantic will take streaming revenue which is a small part of an artiste revenue

I told you Burna will get 30-40% of anything his shows gross, and his shows gross around $2m each and upwards

Burnaboy tour money for one year alone is more than Davido whole net earnings from the start of his career to 2019

So how can Davido have more money from music

It's like Dbanj or 2Face claiming to be bigger than Davido as of 2017. The game has stepped up. What qualified as success in one generation is chicken change to another generation.

The same way na one year Davido use catch-up Dbanj and 2Face networth, same thing Burna did to Davido in 2019 alone. The money Davido was using to boast then "I get 2 million dollars, no be asset", Burna fit use one week collect am now.

If you dey talk say Davido senior am for money, na Papa.money, not music money.

Amigoss:
Shallipopi



Seriously no Nigerian is A

ABI I no know wetin be A-list again unless you want to create the afrobeat genre as an aside,A-list Global afrobeat artist....

Burnaboy is possibly the 2nd biggest artist in UK presently behind Ed Sheeran and has been for 4 years. . . . if you no know.

Melvyn11:
Burna boy get half of Davido money? When it comes to money Davido is the 001 in that regard.

Not from music, maybe from him papa

Davido has not smelled half the money Burna has seen from music

As recently as 2017 on the song Bad, Baddo, Baddest, Davidos mouth making on the song was "I get $2m dollars, no be asset". Mind you, that's someone making mouth, so the reality will be lower.

Couple of years after that, he stated his ambition to have N30bln, equivalent to $46m. That's a statement of purpose, hence the N30bln gang motto

From 2019 onwards, Burnas revenue has eclipsed his handsomely, Burna won't think of N30bln or any nonsense money like that. Na one year Burna go use clear that amount and more. But for Davido we have a timeline of his wealth from his own mouth as of 2019, which was the year Burna eclipsed him. From then on, Burna show money for one year alone is equivalent to all Davidos show money over his whole career.

swiz123:
CP is just as loud as majority of Nigerians are stupid. How can someone who is supposedly richer than Burna be doing bouncer for Davido and always recording videos in awe whenever Davido unveils a new car. It's crazier when you factor their age difference.

Obi might want to call the fat pig to order before his loud mouth puts them in trouble. One of Obi's very close associate "Nwanyi Amawbia" was fingered in human parts trade in 2023. The last thing Obi needs is one of his associates involving himself in any publicity stunt.

Davido is the patron of fraudsters. He willingly seeks them out, and enjoys their way of living. Why go and seek out Pastor Tobi Adeboyega who has ruined so many lives with his scams? Why always around CCP? Why did he dupe Nigerians with that crypto project. Even before his music career took off, he was involved in many schemes and cheating people. His early associates from the streets are Sinzu and Dammy Krane, two notorious fraudsters.

monerozi5590:
No be only!:tar! We call Davido Mr. Consistency for a reason. Right from Gobe, man has been releasing hit songs after hit songs.

Na you know which hit songs Davido has been releasing, not me. Davido never release anything wey dey sweet my ear since 2017s If and Fall. He needs to go back and beg Teni to resume writing for him as in 2017.

User09:
There was no basis for the comparison in the first place - imo. Nobody knows the worth of any money launderer in the world

Nightclub businesses are just paper valuation, they dont serve a profit purpose and they suffer a lot from shifting consumer habits.

For obvious reasons, they are the go to industries for illegals and black money.

Also, Ibime rates Burna a lot for obvious reasons , despite knowing how cyclical their income is. I'm not convinced the gorxxlla has the financial discipline in him to outlast anyone - he seems to be the kind who has bipolar episodes and would do stupid things for the sake of ego and one-upping.

I doubt say na money laundering be their speciality. They only launder their own illicit gains through the nightclubs

You never see correct bankers to launder money for you, na those illiterates you go give to launder?

They are into fraud most likely, maybe drugs but most likely fraud

Hate on Burna at your own risk. Odogwu no be anybody mate. Don't underestimate his drive and work ethic despite the plenty Igbo smoking. Burna outworks everyone in the industry. Na Wizzy and Davido dey take vacations, not Burna. His financial discipline is questionable especially his expenditure on cars but the money plenty.

Melvyn11:
Bro leave all these speculations. Night clubs in Nigeria are not shutting down. Do you know how much boys dey spend per night for those clubs? Do you know how many celebrities dey shut down those clubs? Nor be obi cubana club Burna boy go shoot person because of woman that year.

All those na wash and image laundering

Anytime your celebrity friend come and spend N5m on drinks, you go dey post am all over the gram to prove say you get legitimate business.

All those are deliberate image laundering. Put it in Naira and it looks big and shock and awe Nigerians to think these are legitimate businessmen. Publish account wey we go see your tax records and know how much the business is making for real

Is that money? London clubs are taking more than that from a table and still shutting down. No be today we start to see large drinks bills for clubs from London to Monaco to LA, they are still shutting down everywhere

LordAdam16:
Verticals are drugs and laundering.
E get updates wen dem no dey share on public fora.

Burna is killing it. No argument.
But it's easy to pull his income thread because it's legit.
It's fuzzy for illegals. Let's leave it at that.

My longevity point also stands.

CCP goofed with his "1m in 2018" shade.
But as long as e doesn't eat lead or get on the wrong side of a steel bar, odds are stacked in his favor versus BB over a decades-long timeline.
Circling back to my star athlete v star finance bro comparison.
Let's just say I don't underrate illegals. Some mfs rly b moving mad with the profile of a f*cking cheerio.

All of that said though, this is not a fair matchup at the moment.
Burna is at his peak. CCP is the "who dat?" n*gga in this contest, if it can be called that.
Owerri Rick Ross is actually a charitable label for him.
And it might actually be a triple entendre.

-Lord

More longevity dey Burna game than CCP game, especially given that CCP resemble someone who doesn't know how to invest. Make we dey see. Till today some 1990s stars are collecting £50k per show, likes of Boyz II Men still collect £200k per show.

Melvyn11:
I am seeing something like 50/50. When it comes to tours and shows we nor follow Burna boy drag that one

See as you show Burna revenue, show Obi Cubana own

From the tax Cubana group is paying, we should be able to know his revenue, yet I never see his name anywhere near the list of taxpayers in Nigeria

Burnaboy workings are clear unlike Cubana. Last year he hit 2 billion streams in UK alone, sold out shows everywhere.

Do you know how many nightclubs are shutting down everywhere, and Cubana is opening his mouth to say that's where his money comes from. Even Jay Z does not make that much from 40-40, a much bigger nightclub brand. Every single major London nightclub I frequented 20 years ago has shutdown, even the ones I used to go to in Birmingham and Nottingham. Nightclub na bad business anywhere in the world. Jay Z opened five 40-40 clubs, promoted it everywhere, all major celebrities going there, and 3 have already shutdown.

Melvyn11:
All these are speculations plus tales by moonlight. Obi cubana get money pass Burns boy.

He fit get but no be from that nightclub nonsense, and Burna will catch him up in no time.

Melvyn11:
How much does Atlantic record take from all those tour and shows?

Record companies don't take show money like that

Melvyn11:
Nigeria business cannot get a verified net worth. I am seeing 90milllion dollars on his name.

How much tax does Cubana group pay

Cubana na washman (drugs, fraud or laundering)

Chief Priest learned the same illegal trade, that's why he went from barman to so called Billionaire overnight. The nightclubs are just a front

diggz:
You forget the clubs for YouKay?

He has one small club in Bedford. Who told you nightclubs make money like that? Most nightclubs are bad business

seankafor:
entertainment industry (known)

Known wetin?

Since when does a front compare with legal business?

Na these sme sme businesses put am on Burna level?

Obi is just using these to give his illegal earnings a legal veneer

Even Ozark writers could not write as bizarre a money laundering script as Cubanas

Wahala for Nigel Farage. You lie with a bug, you get fleas. Nigga was expecting a big bag only to get a vote of no confidence

Elon Musk has no idea about Britain though. His takes on British political landscape are more far off than an alien making commentary on Itsekiri political structure

seankafor:
u don dey go too far with obi cubana mention..

Wetin be Obi Cubana business?

The referee at the Arsenal match cost me my game week

I don't comot Saliba jare, I can't be doubling on defence where one decision will wipe me out

raumdeuter:
I still dey sing the Away this morning sef. The song is good.

Davido music appeals more to Nigerians and I'll say Burna will have a larger share of non Nigerians where the streaming money is

Burna is Davido and WizKid senior in music revenue by far, whether shows or streaming. Burna is an International artiste, WizKid is semi-international and Davido is an African artiste.

LordAdam16:
It depends.
Just fraud. Not comparable.
Add verticals then it becomes like comparing a star athlete vs star finance bro.

-Lord

Which one be verticals?

Burna did 35 of his own concerts last year (not including paid performances on shows and TV) in Europe and Yankee. Average at £500k per show (which is light), that's £17.5m in his personal show money

WizKid did only 12 and Davido did only 10

Burna gets the most show money by far of any African artiste. Know this and know peace.

Na all those Adekunle Gold wey CCP suppose dey rub shoulders with, he is not even on Kizz Daniel level.

Make CCP go bring Obi Cubana come to rub shoulder with Burna. Burna no dey do scam hire-purchase of Keke Napep like CCP boss.

seankafor:
mi get money ?🤣

If dem count top richest Naija musicians..I no sure say mi go fit enter top 10 sef

MI no go enter top 50

GloriousGbola:
Who tell you say dem Hushpuppy no dey compare with burna? No be Hushpuppy dey make noise say he Don pass MI Abaga?

Just injecting that into the conversation

Who is MI Abaga?

We dey talk bands, you dey talk MI Abaga

seankafor:
no be to gather cousins pack like football fans, dem put their skin in for u when you needed them,? Especially when you were growing up..

As u dey youkay, na dem go dey rush you abi wetin you expect?

Some rushing dey but every branch of the family get people who are doing well so others dey to support. Like 20-30% of us are in US, UK or Canada and a decent percentage of the ones at home are doing well.

seankafor:
lol, na ask I say make I ask

I know say CCP na hopeless hope right hand man and em fit dey help am launder some big amounts of money 💰..

And also he too get links with Owerri top fraudsters

So him too no go small Kwa

Him get fraudster money. Dem Hushpuppi no dey compare money with Burna dem. Burna will turnover £300k to £700k a show easily and do 2 shows a weekend and that's light. Last time Burna came to Manchester for show, he left the show immediately for Paris to play a show the same night. So conservatively, Burna can do 2 shows a week. The same nigga that sang "4 shows a night I'm juggling".

seankafor:
same here , the only cousin's I fúck with are my maternal cousins from my mom's side..even at that it's only few people amongst them I roll with..the ones that put their skin in for us..

My pops side,they didn't really come through for us when we were little..but now we grown..they have in one or 2 occasions formed busy with here and there errands.. they doing this because they now see we got one or 2 going in for us.. these people, I no dey do pass 5k for them..and the 5k na cause of the few errands wey dem dey do for the house 🏠.. same with their kids..
Energy you give us energy you receive 📲
It is what it is..

I have dozens of cousins and I'm in touch with them all in one form or another. We had some serious polygamists in the generation before my father so we full everywhere

seankafor:
CCP and burna, who you think say hold bar pass or big pass ?

Is that a serious question?

So dem run Burna street or dem no run am?
