‘Bovi, Basketmouth are richer than top musicians,’- Shank

Nigerian skit maker Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel, popularly known as Shank Comics has stirred up reactions by making a bold comparison between the wealth of top entertainers.

The content creator, during a livestream, claimed that comedians Bovi Ugboma and Basketmouth are financially ahead of Afrobeats star Asake. Shank explained that although the comedians may prefer to live a more simple life, they are not to be underestimated in terms of their wealth

“I feel like comedy money is more. I can swear to God, Bovi, Basketmouth, they’re f*cking richer than Asake. Bovi doesn’t just like cars. If Bovi sees a Lexus, he’s okay. All those Ferraris and high speed on the express? Bovi doesn’t care. Comedians care about their lives that’s why. I swear to God, Bovi and Basketmouth are richer than Asake and Wizkid, but they don’t just like cars All those Ferrari and rubbish Burna Boy is buying, Bovi doesn’t focus on that. How much is Ferrari? How much is Lamborghini?. How much is Cybertruck?. Is it not just to charge it?,” he stated.

Shank’s statement quickly stirred up the conversation surrounding the net worth of Nigeria’s top entertainers, wit some disagreeing with Shank’s claim.
