These are according to a publication from the American Business magazine for 2024.
And just as Rema said in one of the songs, there is no longer a Big Three, as he has now been included in the list and comes as the 4th. Forbes rating has pitted fans against each other, as many condemned the list.
This comes amid the online feud between Davido and Wizkid, which consumed social media some days ago.
