Fans of Ayodeji Balogun a.k.a Wizkid has attempted to compare his net worth to that of UBA chairman, Tony Elumelu.

This is coming after Wizkid was pictured hanging out with Elumelu in Mali on his Instagram page.

The photos which have gone viral on the internet has garnered thousands of comments and likes which led to the “net worth debate” on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Wizkid had hinted that he signed a new deal with UBA.

He wrote on his Instagram page; “UBA X Starboy 2019!! Thank u @tonyoelumelu! #AfricasGlobalBank! ??#DoneDeal!.”

The trendy topic has courted controversy online with many mocking “Star Boy’s” humble net-worth to Tony Elumelu’s worth.

For record purpose, Elumelu is an economist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the chairman of Heirs Holdings, the United Bank for Africa, Transcorp and founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Elumelu holds the Nigerian national honours, the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) and Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR). He was recognised as one of “Africa’s 20 Most Powerful People in 2012” by Forbes magazine.

WuzupNaija reports that Wizkid was ranked 5th on Forbes and Channel O’s 2013 list of the Top 10 Richest/Bankable African Artists.

In February 2014, the 28 year old Star Boy became the first ever Nigerian musician to have over 1 million followers on Twitter. He is the first Afrobeats artist to appear in the 2018 Guinness World Records for his contribution to Drake’s hit song “One Dance”.

However, one Twiter user, @sean_wizzie, said “Tony Elumelu’s worth is $700million, Wizkid’s worth $12 million. 1 Tony= 58 wizkids.”

See the photos and comments:

Since 2014, Tony Elumelu had been providing grants worth $100million to people across africa which is equivalent to $0.5billion in 5 years.

Wizkid became popular since 2010 and he’s yet to worth $20m

But, Ikorodu Justin Bieber thinks Wizkid is richer than Tony.

E go be!

The only reason y’all are taking that wizkid and Tony Elumelu comparison seriously is cos you people hate wizkid, otherwise you’ll laugh it off. Cos that is obviously a joke, but your hatred won’t let you have peace of mind ??

— ?KING DAVID THE FIFTH? (@5thDaviDs) February 5, 2019

Tony Elumelu has been giving away $10,000 to One thousand African Entrepreneurs every year since 2015. That’s $10m EVERY YEAR.

That’s like wizkid’s net worth every year.

Oga. Delete this!

From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT
where P = Elumelu, R = gas constant, n = no of moles, T = Davido, V = wizkid, equating all to gbe body, gbe soul almighty formula (v = u + at) & Able god formula (y = mx + c) yields
1 Tony Elumelu = 58.3 Wizkids = 46 Davidos = 4000 Burnaboys

Some human beings are really out here arguing who is richer between Wizkid and Tony Elumelu. I thought such agbero-like arguments only happen at newspaper stands ?

— HENRI ALI ? (@Thiss_Henri) February 5, 2019

A wizkid fan said wizkid is still young and when he gets to Tony’s age, he would be richer by his calculations. Tony Elumelu worths $700 Million, while Star boy is worth about $12 Million. Are you saying Tony will be stagnant at $700 million?

Wizkid and Tony Elumelu

Wizkid was the Face of UBA’s launch in Mali, which further cemented UBA’s position as Africa’s Global Banks. He has more projects with them. This is what’s worth reading, not attention seeking tweets from someone comparing Wizkid & Elumelu. #WizkidTheIcon pic.twitter.com/rolxTENt3y

— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) February 5, 2019

Tony Elumelu would probably buy the Starboy record label with Wizkid inside..this obsession is beginning to approach idiocy na ?

— Enjoyment Minister ? (@Mrjohnny_bobo) February 4, 2019

Lol. The fact that someone thinks Wizkid is richer tan Tony Elumelu is just funny. Igbo men don’t like letting people know their worth. You’ll just see them buying big stuff. Won’t be surprised if Tony Elumelu buys Wizkid and his career within the next hour. ???

If
1Tony Elumelu = 58 Wizkids, therefore
1 Tony Elumelu = 1 Wiz Extended family

How many Tony Elumelus makes one Davido? pic.twitter.com/LmvSO7zCJp

— Chemical Boy ? (@Chemicalboyy) February 5, 2019

Tony Elumelu has a net worth of $700 million and owns UBA Group (active in 21 countries). UBA has a deal with Wiz. Even Wizkid knows Elumelu is a boss. A troll looking for attention compared him to Wizkid. Wizkid FC has nothing to do with that stupid comparison. Let’s be guided.

— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) February 5, 2019

The money wey Tony Elumelu Dey use support entrepreneurs alone fit take wizkid from the legend wey him be now back to upcoming and still blow am reach legend in 1 month. Make we warn ourselves on this platform Biko.

— KoladeJnr (@KoladeOlukunle) February 5, 2019

Tony Elumelu owns 6.4% of UBA… so as judge yourself, does that make him the owner?

— Your Bane? (@WeirdManuel) February 5, 2019

This is problem always facing we Africans, we are always quick to defend other people heroes and forget our own, the facts is very clear, CR7 can have the money, but we rise by lifting up others. Tony Elumelu has done more than that in Africa and the world…
