“Music Money Is Seasonal, Football Funds Steady” – Skales Opens Up

Skales Compares Music and Football Earnings

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Skales has sparked reactions online after claiming that money from music is seasonal while football provides more steady financial rewards.

The singer made the statement during a recent discussion about success, wealth, and the realities of the entertainment industry.

According to Skales, musicians can experience fluctuating income depending on hit songs, trends, and public attention, while footballers often enjoy more structured and stable earnings through salaries and contracts.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Groovymono show, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner explained that footballers don’t need to be starters for their clubs to make money, but on the contrary, it is only reigning musicians who make lots of money.

He also noted that music money is seasonal, while football money is often interrupted for the period of the contract, regardless of any circumstance.

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.
