richer, but you cannot say who is actually
richer in reality. The two young men though in
the same industry perform at several shows,
release different songs, and have their own
personal businesses. It is impossible to say for a
fact who the richer person is because as the
year goes on, one may surpass the other at
shows, and vice versa. For now, they are
inspirations to many youths looking to carve a
niche in the entertainment industry.
For this year Wizkid is $2 million richer than
Davido.
