Burna Boy, the well-known Afrobeat musician, recently made headlines by stating that he is now richer than many of the Nigerian politicians and oil moguls he once looked up to. He shared this surprising news in an Instagram story, where he emphasized that people should not underestimate those younger than them.

Revealing his financial status, the singer explained “Imagine growing up and only oil men and politicians were the ones really getting the real money followed by the G boys. Music wasn’t even in the conversation when money was the topic.

“Now an ugly black musician from Port Harcourt got more money than 90% of the people he looked up to as money makers.”

He encouraged his followers to recognize the potential in everyone, suggesting that even young individuals could rise to great wealth and success, like Elon Musk. This message serves as a reminder to appreciate the ambitions and capabilities of the younger generation, as they may be the future leaders and innovators.
