Nigerian content creator and streamer Shank Comics has sparked discussions after claiming that comedians often earn more than music artists.
In a recent livestream, he explained that many people assume musicians are wealthier because they frequently showcase their riches, unlike most comedians.
Shank Comics suggested that comedians like Bovi and Basketmouth have higher net worths than popular Afrobeats musicians such as Asake, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, noting that comedians tend to invest their money rather than splurge on luxury cars like many artists.
“I think there is more money in comedy than music. Bovi and Basketmouth are far richer than Asake, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and other musicians, but they prefer to invest rather than buy cars.
“Comedians are very conscious of the future, so they invest more than they spend, and they don’t spend lavishly on luxuries.
“A lot of comedians can afford the luxurious automobiles Nigerian musicians are buying,” he said.

After so many years in this industry, I, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, am finally having a spot at the top, I mean me? A cast in the most anticipated movie of the year? I mean, a @moabudu Production? Somebody pinch me.
When I got this call to come in for a reading, I thought they had dialled the wrong number. I couldn’t sleep, so I woke up earlier than usual so that I won’t run late. I walked into that room where I met the most beautiful, soft, kind, warm, and very, very welcoming woman I’ve ever met, Mummy @moabudu. I tried to maintain steeze and composure, but inside me, I wanted to scream.
I have a whole lot to type, but I will stop here and wait for the day this movie hits the cinema.
No matter what you think you are doing, be very good at it and stay focused. Trust me, so many people are watching, and to you all who called me a failed actress at every given opportunity.
This year 2026 you will eat your words and drink your tears, as long as GOD is still seated on the throne of mercy, I Nkechi Blessing Sunday will continue to excel, prosper and walk into every room full of opportunities, and to my dearest @mimi_bartels___ You will call one, and one million will answer.
I really do not have the right words right now, but God, in his infinite mercy, will guide, provide, and protect you and your generation yet unborn.
THANK YOU is never enough. This Orphan is forever grateful”.
