Sources who are privy to the young singer’s revenue told us, this week, that he has now joined the league of music millionaires.
With a schedule that keeps him busy all week; and enquiries from all over the globe, Wizkid is currently one of the top 5 most wanted pop stars (others on the list include 2face Idibia, D’banj and Psquare) . And from an engagement fee of N500-700,000, his management has now upped his fee to a minimum of N1.5M. Big budget clients could be asked for up to N2M and N3M in some cases.
‘There are some weekends when he plays up to three shows. The boy is mad busy and his minders are making the best out of the boom‘, a top industry source tells us.
Wizkid is putting his money into use too, the 21-year-old recently acquired a VW convertible worth N6M (Six million Naira). He has also embarked on shooting big budget videos; starting with the trado-themed shoot for ‘Pakurumo’ on Tuesday November 1. The video was directed by Clarence Peters.
Monthly earnings, we’re told, now sits in the realm of 20M and upwards. And it can only get better; with a MOBO plaque and Headie in his pouch, and a hit-filled debut album that’s still moving units, the EME act seems poised for a bright future – if he and his minders are smart enough not to let celebrity trouble and scandals ruin it all…
