Who’s the richest Afrobeats star? That’s the question setting social media ablaze as fans of Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido clash over a viral fake Forbes list ranking the trio’s net worth. The controversial post, which surfaced online earlier this week, claimed to reveal the “true financial hierarchy” among Nigeria’s top music exports — but it didn’t take long for fans to turn the discussion into a digital battleground of loyalty, pride, and bragging rights.
According to Jocomms, the list, which was never published by Forbes, falsely attributed earnings and luxury assets to each artist, triggering chaos across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. While Wizkid FC, 30BG, and Outsiders fiercely defended their faves, insiders confirmed that the document originated from a fan-made blog seeking clout. Despite multiple reports debunking the claims, screenshots of the list continue to circulate, fueling more heated debates over who truly holds the crown in Afrobeats wealth and influence.
With tempers flaring and misinformation spreading fast, one can’t help but wonder — how much longer will fan wars overshadow the music itself? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
