Afrobeats singer Daniel Benson, popularly known as BNXN, has weighed in on the long-running debate about whether musicians or athletes are wealthier.
The Finesse crooner said that, aside from footballers, NBA players are significantly richer than most musicians, particularly Nigerian artists.
Speaking during a recent livestream with streamer Ojo, BNXN revealed that his friendships with several NBA players have given him firsthand insight into their financial status.
“I am friends with a few NBA players.
These guys have so much money.
Nigerian artists don’t even have as much money as them.
“NBA players are insanely rich.
A player of Jaylen Brown’s calibre has so much money. Afrobeats are not close to athletes in terms of earnings.”
His comments have added a fresh perspective to the ongoing conversation about the earning power of entertainers compared to professional athletes, especially those competing in major American sports leagues.
