Football money is a goal

But when you stop playing it won't come, unlike music.. music money even if you die you go still dey make money. Go Spotify type Elvis Presley and see number of streams. Person wey don die since 70's
I don't even want to mention dem Whitney Houston and MJ

Brendaniel:
Music money with poor financial management sometimes even makes them worse than they started.

They should always pray for grace and work on their financial management...

Did you have a discussion with Zinoloeesky of recent?

Hahaha.... Make I laugh 😃

Nothing much baba

DaddyCoool:
No wonder you keep seeing people who obviously can't sing keep at it (some are here on NL )

Baba, make you dey mention them, abeg 😄.

Indeed there's a lot of money in music ,just know the business part of it ... It's more than hitting the studio , record song and you think that's all ..
More money keeps coming once you blow 🔥..

Cjsarima:
Una dey carry old interview dey come nairaland. For your mind now you bring latest abi

Nairaland, very local set of people.

And just like ritual, it doesn't last.

I remember the days of Dbanj, wandy Cole, 9ice, Tony tetula, Azadus, Tuface, Plantation boys, Konga, Olu maintain... Etc. Where are they today, most have moved on from music to other endavours. Some left the country, some became broke, some died.

It's easy to get a hit track, but it's not easy to maintain your popularity for long cos with time, you'll eventually fade away. That's why if you can survive up to 2 decades as a musician with back to back hits, the world would respect you.

Little wonder why people like Fela, Celine Dion, Snoop... Etc are know all around the world.

You people keep mentioning Fella as musician, I'm yet to hear any of his song, he didn't even have popular songs or hit.

I know many of Celine Dion's songs,
Tupac made snoop popular because of his look, I don't know any of his song.

He may not be far from the truth...

But,

How much worth is the highest paid footballer and how much is the worth of the highest paid musician?

Below are the top 2 highest paid footballers and the top 2 highest paid female musicians.

Very soon people will also start calculating and commeting about our networks at dem MANNA

First of all start with the tops.
How much does Ronaldo worth compared to Jay Z ? Rihanna is even richer than Ronaldo

this is because a musician can scale his or her music business. he can also decide to work without a label . A footballar is salary based , there's nothing to scale here, even cris brown does meet and greet and makes alot of money from that. If a football does that , the money should go to the club.

Noooo, me just dey talk based on what I've seen over time about musicians with poor financial management even in foreign countries...

Some after making so much money end up as junkies even worse than when they started music, they become burden to their family members, some no be even drugs, just bad financial decisions...

IamAtAnger:
U dey ask sey wey Dbanj, wande coal dey today?.. shey u blind?.. u for add wizkid join na.. mtchewwww u wey no dey updated

You seem to lack comprehension of English language. Go back and read my post, then come back and read what you posted.

tunize:

Comot 2face from your list abi you think say e easy to dei sing since 95 down 2023? No one stays at the top forever even king self dey kpai dem pass mantle na so life be.
Some music money dei last depends on how dem use invest and beside those gees you mention ain’t broke so get your facts well the fact that you don’t get to see or hear about them regularly doesn’t mean they are suffering e go shock you say many get money pass your favorite its called show biz for a reason

Have you heard of etc...I used it in my post. Meaning more others whom might be broke, dead or relocated outside the country. It wasn't basically for the names I mentioned there.

Amaggedon:
What you should understand is that musicians earn far better now than before .

True and actors and actresses as well. Technology really favored them.

You might not know him cos he died in 1997. (27yeaes ago) and even in his death, his songs still point out the realities of the Nigerian government.

unbiased2021:
Lol you think those guys you mentioned are broke ? HAAAA

What is wrong with you nairaladers. Is English so difficult to understand. I used etc. In my sentence meaning more. And I pointed out the some musicians who made a name in the past are broke. Some are dead, some have left music... Etc

Must everything be explained to you guys before you get the point I'm trying to make? Haba.

Nazgul:

Most of my favourite music are old music from the 80s to 2015.

Maybe he go popular for fighting government and not making songs. I meant I don't know any of his song.

It does not apply to only music. Most footballers too go broke after their careers

Inosky:
Not really true.

I have been into music for years now but I haven't seen the money. I'm even at a lost.

Then you are doing it wrong... There's more money In music now than before... You don't need to be very popular to make a lot of money in the Industry.
