Shank Comics claims Nigerian comedians richer than musicians
Nigerian comedian Shank Comics sparked debate claiming comedians are wealthier than musicians. During a recent livestream, he argued that while musicians flaunt luxury cars, comedians like Bovi and Basketmouth invest their earnings instead. He stated: 'Bovi and Basketmouth are far richer than Asake, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, but they prefer to invest rather than buy exotic cars.' Shank noted comedians are 'very conscious of the future' and invest more than they spend on luxuries. This challenges the common assumption that musicians are Nigeria's wealthiest entertainers.
