Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely known as Skales, has claimed that the money earned by footballers is higher than musicians.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Groovymono show, the singer explained that the difference in both earnings is that for football—the player needs not be a starter to earn much, however, the case is different for musicians, as they have to be consistent and at the top for many years.

Skales said that the career of an artiste is not guaranteed, hence the earnings, however, footballers money keeps on coming no matter the situation.

He said:
"Football money is greater than music. The difference between music money and football money is that you don’t even have to be a big star or a starter in football to make money.

“But music money is seasonal. An artist can be up today and down tomorrow. Artists who have been able to be stay relevant consistently are backed by the divine

However, in football, even without being relevant you will still be making money. There are some footballers you don’t even know their names but they are earning well. Music is also crazy money but sports money is different."
