As he reveals how much real entertainers make on a monthly basis, Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has claimed that some skit makers engage in illegal deals to make money.
Freeze revealed this in a tweet response to US-based doctor Sina, who had argued that comedy skits wouldn’t generate enough revenue to pay for a Lekki mansion. According to Naija News.
The doctor believes it would be appropriate to claim that some Nigerian comedians engage in money laundering and use comedy as a cover.
“Some of these skits makers will cast,” he tweeted. Just looking at the headline while reading the news. Skitmakers purchase a Lekki mansion
“I wonder if all those skits that have bots retweeting and liking them translate to money. Won’t be surprised if some skits are to cover money laundering”
Freeze responded to Sina by confirming that good skit content earns up to $50,000 per month, with average skit content earners earning between $5,000 and $15,000.
It would be inappropriate to generalize, but Daddy Freeze attested that some skit writers engage in nefarious activities like money laundering and illegal deals to make their money.
He stated: “Dear Doctor, as a content creator myself, working with a management team that manages many of these skit makers, I can tell you authoritatively that a few make as much between $50,000 and $75,000 dollars a month. A month o! I’m not sure any doctor in the USA earns that much let alone in this ailing economy.
“An average skit maker with good content earns anything between $5k and $15k, so let’s not be too hasty to jump into conclusions, especially in terrains that are unfamiliar. Of course, this does not mean some are not into nefarious activities such as money laundering and illegal deals but let’s be careful not to generalize.”
