See What Naija's Top Music Stars Earn Per Show

Long gone are the days when entertainers are
seen as lackeys who have to sleep at people’s
doorsteps for their rations in life. Now, they are
not only running the show, they are also smiling
to the banks in a big way. They now own the
most fashionable cars, most luxurious houses
and even get to have the ‘girls’ long ahead of
many in the queue.
Just as their fortunes have changed, their lives
too have taken a dive right up to the top
because they are getting paid! Here is just a
peek at what the top crooners earn per show,
which the running time is never more than 2-3
hours a day!
