Nigerian content creator and streamer Shank Comics has sparked discussions after claiming that comedians often earn more than music artists.
In a recent livestream, he explained that many people assume musicians are wealthier because they frequently showcase their riches, unlike most comedians.
Shank Comics suggested that comedians like Bovi and Basketmouth have higher net worths than popular Afrobeats musicians such as Asake, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, noting that comedians tend to invest their money rather than splurge on luxury cars like many artists.
“I think there is more money in comedy than music.
Bovi and Basketmouth are far richer than Asake, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and other musicians, but they prefer to invest rather than buy cars.
“Comedians are very conscious of the future, so they invest more than they spend, and they don’t spend lavishly on luxuries.“
A lot of comedians can afford the luxurious automobiles Nigerian musicians are buying,” he said.
