How We Arrived At Our List of The Richest Rappers In South Africa<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For most musicians and rappers, music is more of an avenue to fame rather than fortune. However, it serves as a key to wealth for many. Musicians, including rappers, get to make money directly from their career through sales from their songs, streaming, performances at shows and events, and signing music deals.<\/p>\n

However, they even make more money from the endorsement deals they have to promote for brands or products, and how they are able to leverage their fame to start businesses or get involved in other endeavors.<\/p>\n

We look at the successes of these music stars, the endorsement deals they have landed over the years, the businesses they own, other things they do apart from music, properties they own, including cars and houses, as well as various available data to give what we believe is the closest estimation of the worth of the rappers, thus arriving at the richest rappers in the country.<\/p>\n
