It will stun many that Davido despite his regular showcase of a "luxurious" lifestyle happens not to be the highest paid Nigerian artist. Seasoned artist manager, Alex Ozone has revealed the highest paid artist in Nigeria which is Olamide Adedeji. Alex revealed this in a chat with Showtime while commenting on fees Nigerian artists charge for shows in the UK and USA.
According to the manager, who has over 17 years of experience in the field, other artist like Davido, Tekno, kiss Daniel, Wizkid and many others are worth a fortune but Olamide as the most expensive.
He said;
“The business doesn’t have a fixed price, it depends on the artiste; I cannot tell you how much each of them is worth.
But like I told you, I have worked with Wizkid, Tekno, Oritsefemi, Patoranking, Davido, Terry G, Kiss Daniel, YQ, Skales, Olamide & Timaya.
They are all good, they know their worth. But in Nigeria, Olamide has the highest rate.”
