Music executive Paulo Okoye has claimed that Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy is Nigeria’s wealthiest musician. 

According to Okoye, Burna Boy raked in a whopping $70 million to $80 million in 2023 alone.

In a recent interview on Daddy Freeze’s podcast, Okoye also highlighted Burna Boy’s lean team structure, consisting of just his mother, sister and a few close associates. 

“Anybody that is making any ridiculous money is Burna Boy. What I’m explaining to you is that Burna Boy made at least 80 – 100 million dollars in the last four years alone. Don’t listen to what anybody tells you, Burna Boy is the richest, I’m telling you,” he declared.

The music executive added: “If Burna Boy didn’t make so much money last year (2023) alone, he made at least 70 – 80 million dollars.“

Okoye also shared his thoughts on Rema, saying that he tends to overprice himself.
