Addressing the question of managing financial responsibilities amid demands from family and friends, the 23-year-old musician highlighted the abundance of returns in the music industry.
“How do you find a balance between giving to family members, saving for yourself and knowing when to draw the line?” the host asked.
In his response, Shallipopi confidently stated that he doesn’t need to balance anything because of the continuous flow of income from his music
According to him, the financial prospects in music became apparent to him this year, following the success of his hit singles.
He said; “You will never understand music money. Music money is like ritual, there’s too much money in music that you cannot understand at all. Even if you’re an artiste that came out in one month and your song is just big, no worry.
Me now, I no dey balance anything; if my family request, I dey give because I know that, the music will not stop. Even if I stop singing, the music I’ve dropped will continue giving me money”.
