your Dbanj that is still a tenant or another D banj? D banj that was a security man in uk before he relocated together with Don Jazzy?

Go and search for videos of interviews of his humble beginning, I know Lola owns CAPITAL OIL, She also bankrolled P Square music before they came to limelight. She rented their first house and also fed them, gave them their first car and also built the OMOLE mansion, Park View mansion, Jos Mansion, their village house and their estate in PH.

what has his music career gotta do with the business side of things? was 50 cent the best rapper in the world when coca cola made him the richest rapper in 2007? was dre the best rapper when apple made him a billionaire last year?

i already told you d'banj is not even 10% as talented as the p-square twins but that's not the issue here. we are talking about their income & their brand. focus on the brand, leave the talent or the number of mouths to feed out of it.

d'banj owes a company?
which company? you nigerians make ms laugh. ;Dyou believe rumours than the gospel.

i am not even a fan of any of them. i only listen to rap music. the facts are what we are addressing here and d'banj's endorsements tower over any artiste in africa. even though he cannot sing, he's the one people are paying to see.

his "top of the world" music was used as ACN theme. one of his tracks "bother you" was also used as a sound track on chimamanda's half of the yellow sun movie. talent doesn't necessary translates to money - the brand is the key. kim kardashian has no talent see where that has got her. don't let d'banj's hatred becloud your senses.

he's the #1 in nigeria.

don jazzy? solek's keyboardist?
d'banj was a security officer quite alright in the UK but he made his break in UK's tax credit scheme. he made close to £2m. he was the one that brought don jazzy on board.

don jazzy was an ordinary keyboardist with a juju crooner in london called solek. he was broke and he relies on solek to eke a living. d'banj sold him the idea to go to nigeria and do music with the money they made on the internet & the rest is history.



so if lola was running an oil company when the p-square twins were still in school doing little shows for jambites, how then is she a gold digger? why did Peter break up with ada - his girlfriend for many years?

who's the gold digger here?

CaptainOjemba:
I don't think you deserve my time and arguement, Lola made P square win Kora Award that come with $1 million early in their career, she was the one that paid for their flight ticket to south africa for their Get Squared video, In fact she was even at venue cooking EFO RIRO and Gbegiri Soup for P Square

SirShymexx:

Lol. Coogz, I tried to school these numbnuts...but they're all stuck in delusion and smear campaign.
I still don't know how you can compare a D'banj who played at Glastonbury festival - to any naija artist. He's way above all of them. The only other naija artist ever to perform at Glastonbury was Fela Kuti. C'mon now, that is the biggest music festival on the planet, and once you perform there, your status is certified.
Then you've got "Oliver Twist" which charted in so many European countries - and the biggest crossover hit to ever come out of naij. These folks don't respect their jaws and greatness...black folks and always trying to bring their own down - shameful.

Flawlessangel:

what part of psquare has made more money than dbanj dnt u understand? U talk about business part like its only dbanj who lookout 4 dat....so u think psquare being full blooded igbos that they are. Happens 2 b fools that boycot investments and depend solely on music all these years?

Without creating multiple streams of income? Even i wouldnt b dat stupid, which makes ur argument 4 dbanj null and void, psquare signed d biggest endorsment deal in nigeria and possibly africa, they also won 150million naira for being the best african acts 4rm d korra awards , dat makes 400million without even including their music career and investments, yet u want me 2 bliv sum1 who is being called out for refusing 2 refund his debt is richer than these dude? Rili? Coogar rili?

, lemme give u a line 4rm psquare songs......
ITS GOOD 2 B SAVING 4 RAINY DAYS, SO AM USING MY SENSE TO DEY GATHER D PROPERTYS.........

When u understand d above statement, u wud know why psquare wud always b richer than dbanj

walezy14:
You people like to give us fake information. Even KSA that started long ago couldnt amass such huge wealth you mentioned.

coogar:



we are talking money & you are talking about fans that fainted. d'banj is a global brand. he's the only artiste in nigeria that can win a grammy. all the others aren't doing anything to push it to the next level. they just want to enjoy being local champions.

The net worth figures are open to discussion. Most of her net worth, if true, might not necessarily come from singing but from investments she's made.

coogar:


you don't have enough wisdom.
how did the p-square boys make the music video that launched them into limelight for KORA to notice them?

for these simpletons, it's not about facts....its a tribal issue. d'banj is yoruba & they are igbos - so the igbo man must win.

bush folks.....
comparing an african artiste that met jim iovine to the ones whose biggest investments are loya milk & globacom.


business is different from business.
you cannot compare d'banj's endorsements to any other artiste in nigeria. beats by dre is now under apple & d'banj is the only african ambassador. apple made more money last year than any other company in the world. biko, leave local champions out of this matter.

d'banj's endorsement for bank of industry easily eclipsed the figures you have quoted here. d'banj has also been an ambassador for globacom twice.

do the math!

this is irrelevant to the discourse. even the twins would slap you themselves for comparing them to d'banj. the kinda people d'banj is rolling with are on another level. go and do your research - d'banj performed at glastonbury. i repeat, glastonbury!!!!

be deceiving yourself.

Yungwizzzy:
This is outright poo. what are these people singing to earn this much?

Imagine yemi alade is worth N820 million? How many albums and endorsements does she have?

Some blogger just sit at home and start writhing rubbish. what parameters did you take to arrive at this?

Most of their lifestyle your see on tv(which you used in creating this) is sooo fake. Someone passes some advert audition, get paid 100k and start ranting on Twitter he's just got endorsed with 200million!!

If true true these musicians have this, they won't sing again. They will do just as Ayiri does. What kind of analysis is this? Last I heard, piracy has hurt the likes of these musicians. If they claim some are worth billions, my brother, them for they waka like god for road Na. MI hasn't paid his debt completely, with that kind of cash, he should be able to buy his label, and pay his artists handsomely. Phyno, Ahan, that guy doesn't have 10 million in his account. So davido and his father now are dragging billions together? Whoever wrote this has no sense of humor, no sense of fear, no sense of thinking. He just like to write.

SirShymexx:

Lmao...for a lot of them, it's always about primitive tribal competition, and not actual facts. Even the OP of this thread is fond of pushing a tribal agenda - crazy mofos. The big players don't even go tribal when it comes to creating the best thing they can - hence Chimamanda could tap Biyi Bandele to direct her "Half of a yellow sun" movie; D'banj to sing the soundtrack; and John Boyega to act in it. Tribe/race/ethnicity and money don't mix - get the money first.

Then again, I saw a thread about that nyggah Bum Don Jazzy and his walking stick giving out loose change last week - that might also play a role in the hatred since black folks naturally like when people give them crumbs - and not show them the blueprint on effective networking and wealth creation. It's innate. Personally, I'll always take a Michael Jordan and his business sense of creating a multi-billion dollars empire with Air Jordan, despite the fact that he never gives out loose change, over some id.iot that shows off with crumbs. Give me the blueprint - not crumbs.

D'Banj created something a lot of naija artists ought to emulate - somewhat similar to jigga when it comes to networking and creating wealth. A lot of these folks don't understand business model. When creating business: the most important thing is networking, and not the product. D'banj has been able to build a solid international networking, that money will never be able to buy. That's a blank cheque he should keep cashing-in on, for a very long time. Hence he has been getting all kinds of international endorsements, none of these other artists will ever get a sniff of. And from what I've seen, I believe he's more connected to the naija elite class than all these other clowns - that's money link right there.

The only argument I've seen on these sides for smear campaign is about debts...and lousy/laughable claims that he owns no property lool. You don't pay every debt that you owe, that's just common sense - but that doesn't make you broke. The property tripe doesn't even deserve a reply - that's how much of a joke that nonsense is. All of them are just illiterates who dwell on garbage-in and garbage-out - and pub banter after binge drinking pints of beer/cider. I can't take them seriously.

Respect ya jaw!

olusode97:
Be lying for yourselves... When did flavor start that you are saying that he is richer than dbanj... Rubbish list

DarlintonOmeh:
You guys should just take a little chill and understand that worth doesn't necessarily mean "cash at hand" as most of you tends to imagine. I did the writing and not the op. The rating is a result of two months of fact finding. Sometimes, you really may not know people you think you know

all these ones on NL are just noisemakers - what do they know? it's always hausa vs yoruba or ijaw vs igbo. people who sit behind dusty desktops in nigeria & recant what they heard from linda ikeji. see how they are labelling lola omotayo a gold digger. a woman that already made her own money before p-square boys made it to the airwaves.
d'banj's thuggish outlook and his entertainer symbol is responsible for that. he likes to be the clown of the group & nigerians are easily fooled by the one that acts like the big man. it was d'banj's money that started the whole project.......but he needed don jazzy's excellent beat making skills to thrive.

i was at nottinghill carnival in 2004 when d'banj was still the sideshow for JJC & the 419 crew. it was the UK tax credit portal that got him the money. i salute his business acumen though. he could have wasted all that money on material nonsense but he had a dream & i fully respect his gift of foresight. he made don jazzy, not the other way. we used to spray don jazzy $1 dollar notes at london parties....for his skills with the keyboard.



this point was what caused the divorce between d'banj & don jazzie. d'banj was tired of being a local champion. he wanted to expand his empire but don jazzie wants to be the biggest fish in the pond.........in lekki peninsula

look at the quality of endorsements pouring in. he met kanye. kanye connected him to jim iovine through dre & he got the beats by dre ambassadorship. he tore the UK charts with oliver twist track and the brand keeps soaring. nigerians feel shortchanged by him cos he is doing more on foreign soil but who cares?

the shelf life of music in nigeria is way too short and it's not like people actually buy the music. everyone just downloads from illegal sources. piracy is eating deep into their income. don jazzy has no iota of business sense. he had the goose that lays golden eggs but he killed it himself. let him continue to parade his local talents and drink his loya milk.



the smear campaign on debt is pure trash.
he owes debt and still bought £150,000 aston martin in the midst of the financial crisis? he must be the richest "debtor" in the world to achieve that.

while everyone is busy peddling dirty rumours about him, he was busy canvassing for signatures to kickstart agricultural investments for the youths in africa. he's a global brand. i don't like his music but you cannot fault his business acumen.

his story should be a curriculum in nigerian secondary schools.

shumuel:
To all those that don't believe this list and the amount our Musical Artists are making, let me break the ice for you

Its not that am so sure of the authenticity of the list or could really prove they are making such Amounts but i believe i can work with it to a belief.

Now lets analize the whole thing.

I believe the Money is coming from Youtube, why do i think so ?

If a Nigerian Musical artist could rate Millions on YouTube then i believe they should make such amounts, now let look at it at this point of veiw

U don dey crase no be small.Nonsense!!

1 Single = 1Million veiws

And YouTube pays a Dollar per veiw

1Million veiw = $1Million

$1Million = atleast N150Million

and some of these listed Nigerian Musical Artists has 3-5 Musical Videos that rated above 1Million veiws, so what are we saying

Do the Maths people

The money is not from Album sales but Internet ratings.

I hope this gives you a clue.
