Afrobeats singer Daniel Benson, popularly known as BNXN, has weighed in on the debate over who is richer between musicians and athletes.

Speaking during a recent livestream with streamer Ojo, the ‘Finesse’ crooner stated that NBA players are significantly wealthier than most musicians.

BNXN revealed that he is friends with some NBA players and has seen firsthand how much money they have. He noted that Nigerian artists do not come close to American basketballers in terms of earnings, citing a player of Jaylen Brown’s calibre as an example.

He concluded that Afrobeats stars are not on the same level as athletes when it comes to wealth.

He said:
“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 have so much money. Afrobeats are not close to athletes in terms of earnings.”
