hy Some Nigerian Celebrities Go Broke After Fame (And The Ones Who Don’t)


We’ve seen this 👇story too many times.

👉A celebrity rises quickly.

👉hit songs

👉endorsement deals

👉luxury cars

👉expensive houses


Then years later, the same person quietly disappears from the spotlight.


Why does this happen?🤷‍♂️


One reason is that fame often brings high income but not always sustainable assets.

Many entertainers earn money from performance, endorsements, and brand deals. But those incomes depend heavily on relevance and public attention.

Once the spotlight moves elsewhere, the income can slow down drastically.


Interestingly, some celebrities around the world handle this differently. They quietly invest in long-term productive assets that continue generating income even when their public careers slow down.

Examples include:

👉vineyards

👉farms

👉ranches

👉production companies


These types of investments are less glamorous but often more stable over time.

It’s the difference between earning money and building assets.

Some Nigerian entertainers have started exploring agriculture and agro-investments in recent years.

Maybe they understand something important:

Fame can fade.

But productive assets can continue working for decades.[color=#000099][/color]
What do you think?

Should more celebrities start investing in sectors like agriculture and food production instead of only real estate and luxury assets?

So you had to use a fake picture of taye taiwo?. This is taye taiwo in December

How true is your Taye Taiwo narration?

It's a bit complicated.. Honestly

Having money without fame is still maintaining as it means you know what you are doing

But you see money with fame for people who are unprepared, the euphoria always let them get carried away. They see themselves as if they have arrived, they don't need anyone's input in critical decisions.

Oritse Femi is a good reference. With such fame , money unexpected, you still go wasted money on lavish wedding on Olosho. Hahah he no try

Wait oO! Is that Runtown true state now

Na wa o...long term planning is the best regardless of fame or not

Majority of them lived fake life (spending recklessly without investing) during their fame period.

Time is for everything

May a good time be our portion

Remove Runtown photo from there... D other guy is not Runtown

The thing tire me.can anyone corroborate the recent photo of run town?

Nor be runtown be the second picture?

So Cynthia Morgan is this ugly

I can't believe that's runtown current state

We all must age,so stop the age shaming.



Runtown and taye's after pictures look disheartening....
This cyntia morgan

Na lie. He's far from broke, but Cynthia Morgan lives in a rented flat in Benin. I doubt if she has up to 50k in her account

They always spend lavishly thinking life is smooth and nothing can make them go down but unfortunately life happens to them in the end 😕.
1. Lack of financial planning
2. Buying expensive stuff beyond their pay grades 🙄 😒 Lord!
3. Neglecting who was there for them before fame and finally
4. Family control.
Add yours...

Baba Ajasco left the group

You were making sense till you decided to use fake images for Taye Taiwo and Runtown.

...John Dumelo is doing far better financially as an agro businessman and politician than he ever did as an actor.

You just couldn't resist the temptation to be needlessly sensational.

If those people sue you now, how you go do?!!

Naija bloggers, make una dey try use una brain na!

Leilanjleeane:
Na lie. He's far from broke

Because somebody decides to be avoid spotlight doesn't mean he/she is broke.You can't Play football at the level of Taye Taiwo and ever become poor.If na only to dey build houses during for rent during your playing career is more than enough for them.

BROS NO VEX NA BUSINESS BABA DO, SHEBI THEM COLLECT GATE FEE FOR WEDDING RECEPTION

Very false! He’s not doing badly!

Just imagine the future of people like

- Carter Efe
- Peller
- Sabinus
Etc

People who make money out of fooling themselves in the name of “comedy.”

Runtown's pic is fake too

Arostar2023:
Wait oO! Is that Runtown true state now

Fake picture, that picture can't be Runtown

U had to put John Dumelo to fit ur classless narrative. Guy ventured into farming. Making cool box.

U think fame pays everybody

Maj196:

runtown still has 3m monthly listeners on Spotify. He is not broke. The picture is also fake

Probably they don't renew their jazz.. Once you renew your jazz, you no go come down!
