The trend of singers acquiring properties, including cars and houses, after some songs has led to questions about how lucrative the Nigerian music industry is.

Reacting to this question, controversial singer and activist Seun Kuti has thrown a question at his colleagues in the music industry on how they come about their source of wealth.

Seun Kuti made this known during an Instagram live session; he stated that he is unsure of how lucrative the Nigerian music industry is for many to be able to acquire expensive properties after spending a few years in the music industry.

He noted that despite spending up to 20 years in the music industry, he is just privileged to build his first house, which draws him to how many fast-rising singers have quickly acquired properties.

He said:
"I have been touring for over 20 years, and I’m only just building my first house. Where is the music money coming from? Musician never get two songs, he don buy Lamborghini and G-wagon. Where’s this music money coming from?"
