I took my time to figure this out before posting this, I've come to realise that most of this artist don't really make all their money from music alone. I got this info from a reliable source. actually it's from one of this hiphop artist hype man.
Although some of them rock shows and gets some money, u will still find it disappointing that this so called A-list artist that we think they're well paid are into drugs, 19, n the so called yahoo boys. the dude mentioned names like 9ice, Ajasa, ruggedman, olu and even our so called d'banj n don jazzy n so many others. he said we shld not be fooled by everything the say.

I 've also come to realise that if we look at it very well how many people are really buying albums in naija?, other the alaba compilation discs. i've really noticed that most people that really talk about music or listen to current naija hits don't really cop albums. thats why when you mentions some tracks in some album, they won't know them.

dn't get me wrong, i did not say they don't make money but not as much as they claim they do.

Olu maintain is an example and i'm picking him cos i've met him personally a couple of time during the maintain days. I even use to go to his crib at ogundana friend wiv a bruv then and i know who he is. hw many shows did he rocked and hw much did he make from his album. Anyway i dnt want to go into detail on that i don't want to start unnecessary insuations.

I jst we should stop judging them(artist) in naija about hw much they have

ure a fool

and pls remove 9ice from that list!!!!!!
u dey vwx me!!!!!

@javalove
what has lyric got to do with the reality of things
isnt he a musician, if he dont compose and sing, why would he be called one

isnt he is also human, he needs the daily bread of life
i dont know if he does meddle in illegal affairs
but that doesent mean he aint a suspect
why alienate him from the rest, just because you are a fan of his
ur just been irreasonable there

javalove:

go listen to his music well. u wud find out

Ignorance is most definately bliss

I could be the most drugged out nasty alcoholic anti-Christ being on the face of the planet and yet base all my songs on the holy bible, flowers and ponies vice versa

That is to say, he may not deal in such things but listening to his songs is not at all enough reason to totally erase him from the list, just like that 

thank you ojare

java God punish for mentioning my name!!!!!!

javalove:

go listen to his music well. u wud find out

and why in the hell did you call me clueless poster in your nonsense nominations
why am i just seeing that now
