Kenyan dancehall artiste KRG The Don has stirred debate in the entertainment industry after boldly declaring that music doesn’t pay in Kenya.
The Mambo Imechemka hitmaker shared his thoughts, stating that he has never seen a truly wealthy musician in the country.
According to KRG, he ventured into music purely for fun and not as a business venture.
He believes that flaunting houses and luxury cars online doesn’t necessarily equate to financial success.
“Just because someone posts flashy things doesn’t mean they are rich,” he emphasized.
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing that the Kenyan music industry struggles with low revenue streams, while others argue that several artists have built wealth through music and smart investments.
While KRG The Don’s statement highlights the challenges of making a sustainable income in the industry, it also raises the question—is music alone enough to make Kenyan artists rich, or is diversification the key to success?
