Nigerian singer Skales has weighed in on the long-running debate over whether footballers or musicians earn more, stating that footballers enjoy more stable income compared to artists in the music industry.
Speaking during a recent episode of the Groovymono show, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner argued that footballers can still earn steady income even without being star players, while only top-performing musicians tend to make significant money.
He further explained that income in the music industry is unpredictable and often depends on trends and relevance, unlike football contracts which provide more consistent earnings.

He said, “Football money is greater than music. The difference between music money and football money is that you don’t even have to be a big star or a starter in football to make money.

“But music money is seasonal. An artist can be up today and down tomorrow. Artists who have been able to be stay relevant consistently are backed by the divine.
“However, in football, even without being relevant you will still be making money. There are some footballers you don’t even know their names but they are earning well. Music is also crazy money but sports money is different,” he said.
Skales maintained that while both industries can be lucrative, football offers more financial stability regardless of fame or popularity.
