…DAVIDO angry with FORBES for not
including Him Among The Richest Musicians in Africa…
Channel O and Forbes Africa on Sunday
September 1 presented their list of the top 10 most bankable African artists.
The list is based on artist sales, endorsement value, popularity, show rates,
awards, YouTube views, investment, influence, appearance in newspapers, social
media presence. Senegalese born singer AKON emerged the richest musician in
Africa followed by Don Jazzy of Nigeria.
It was gathered that Skelewu singer, DAVIDO is not
happy with FORBES for not including him on the list despite his achievement in
the Music Industry.
