The Nigerian singer and Grammy award winner, Burna Boy, has declared himself the highest paid artist in the history of African music.

This was a follow up to an initial tweet, where he talked about living and dying on stage with his band, as he had achieved all the dreams he personally had. He tweeted, "Money gives me no satisfaction. Nothing really does, except being on stage with my God-sent band."


 
In the controversial tweet which has caused a debate amongst fans on who the highest paid African musician is, he wrote: 
 
"I said money doesn’t satisfy me and it’s my truth, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m the highest paid artist in the history of African music, believe it or not."
