Fast-rising artist, Crown Uzama, also known as Shallipopi, has revealed how profitable the music industry is, comparing its earnings to those of ritualistic activities.
The “Elon Musk” singer shared this when he was asked how he manages to balance his income and expenses amid demanding family and friends during a recent appearance on the Zero Conditions podcast.
“How do you find a balance between giving to family members, saving for yourself and knowing when to draw the line?” the host asked.
Shallipopi responded by revealing that music returns are so abundant that they never let him run out of money, no matter how much he gives out.
He claimed that before this year, when his hit tracks became popular, he had no idea how profitable it was.
He said;
“You will never understand music money. Music money is like ritual, there’s too much money in music that you cannot understand at all. Even if you’re a artiste that came out in one month and your song is just big, no worry.
Me now, I no dey balance anything; if my family request, I dey give because I know that, the music will not stop. Even if I stop singing, the music I’ve dropped will continue giving me money”
