Jude Okoye, music executive and brother to Paul and Peter Okoye of the defunct P-Square group, has declared Grammy award-winning artiste, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, as the richest artiste in Nigeria

He said no Nigerian artiste has raked in more money than the self-styled Odogwu with his earnings in the last four years standing at about 100 million dollars. When the host asked him if the Afrobeats artiste has made more money than Canadian rapper, Drake, Okoye said Burna Boy made between 70 - 80 million dollars alone last year

When asked if Burna Boy had out-earned Canadian rapper Drake, Okoye confirmed, “Burna Boy made between 70 - 80 million dollars alone last year (2023). Anybody that is making any ridiculous money is Burna Boy. What I’m explaining to you is that Burna Boy made at least 80 - 100 million dollars in the last four years alone. Don’t listen to what anybody tells you, Burna Boy is the richest, I’m telling you.”
