According to reports on Encomium, the singer is now adjudged the highest paid female artiste in Nigeria. With proceeds from shows to mouth-watering endorsements, the Warri, Delta State born singer is now in the league of musicians that cruise in exotic cars and live in multi-million naira houses.

Omawumi’s performance fee has risen from N3million (as at September 2013) to N5 million, depending on the show. And sources say the singer performs at least six times in a month.

By popular demand, she features frequently at private parties plus the fact that she is one of the regular faces at big concerts, within and outside Nigeria.
