Online users have begun to express a range of emotions as Forbes purports to reveal the top five (five) wealthiest Nigerian musicians as of January 2025.

Recall that blogger, GistLover published research on the ten (10) wealthiest Nigerian singers in 2024, including their car list and net worth.

Some music lovers are offended by Forbes' 2025 ranking of the top 5 Nigerian performers.

Wizkid, whose true name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, is at the top of the list. He has a net worth of $50 million and recently purchased his second Ferrari, which is worth N1.4 billion.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, is the second individual on Forbes' list. He has a $40 million net worth and has won a Grammy Award.

Popular music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh better known as Don Jazzy, came third on the list with a net worth of $30 million.

Award-winning singer David Adeleke,often known as Davido, comes in at number four on the list. Forbes estimates the DMW boss's net worth to be $15 million.

Olamide Adedeji widely known as Olamide came at the fifth position and he has a $10 million fortune.

However, the Forbest net worth did not go down well with fans of popular Nigerian singer Davido as they claimed that it was curated by Wizkid FC; fans of Wizkid.
