Forbes has officially crowned Davido the wealthiest artist in Africa for 2024, with an impressive net worth of $100 million, significantly outpacing his rivals.

The publication’s latest list places Don Jazzy in second at $50 million, followed by Burna Boy with $30 million, Wizkid at $25 million, and rising star Rema rounding out the top five with $15 million.

The announcement has ignited a storm of reactions on social media, particularly from fans of Wizkid and Burna Boy, who have expressed dissatisfaction with the rankings.

With Forbes claiming that Davido is four times wealthier than Wizkid, debates have escalated online, especially given the ongoing tensions between the two superstar artists. These figures have further fueled the existing rivalry, which has been a talking point in the Nigerian music industry for years.

Adding to the conversation is Rema’s rapid rise to fourth place, challenging the long-standing dominance of the "Big Three" — Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy. His presence in the top five has intensified discussions about the shifting dynamics of African music, as younger artists continue to make their mark on the global stage.

As fans passionately defend their favorite stars, the Forbes ranking has brought wealth, talent, and influence into sharper focus, reigniting long-standing debates about who truly reigns supreme in African music. This latest development sets the stage for an exciting year ahead, with the Davido-Wizkid feud likely to continue to grab headlines.
