Asa is richer than ALL of them on that list.

Asa performs in France and Europe to sold out audiences.

As at when Sean Paul came to Naija, he charged 25k. That same year, Asa charged 25k for her show here in Naija and it sold out. Companies were buying Asa tickets for their execs.

Go to France and see what Asa is doing there. You think say na "Baby pullover" dem dey hear there?
