Tanzanian musician Harmonize has recently thrown shade at Kenyan musician and politician Charles Njagua Kanyi, popularly known as Jaguar, after Jaguar claimed he was richer. Harmonize responded by saying that if he were Jaguar’s age, he would have retired from music already. He also denied Jaguar’s title of being richer than him, claiming that he had already been denied by former Tanzanian president Magufuli. Harmonize went on to encourage Jaguar to keep banking on his cash.
This exchange occurred after Jaguar claimed he was richer than both Harmonize and Akothee, a Kenyan musician. Jaguar was listed as the seventh richest artist in East Africa by Forbes in 2023, with a net worth of $7 million. He was the second richest artist in Kenya, behind Akothee, whose net worth was said to be $7.6 million. Jaguar expressed that he would quit his music career and job if Akothee and Harmonize were indeed wealthier than him.
Akothee also weighed in on Jaguar’s claims, stating that men should not compete and compare themselves with women. She also asserted that many musicians who run for political office do so to make money and remain relevant in power. Akothee’s statements highlight the issue of wealth and competition in the music industry, particularly among male musicians.
This controversy brings attention to the ways in which musicians measure their success and worth. It also raises questions about the validity of net worth lists and the pressure to constantly accumulate wealth. The exchange between Harmonize, Jaguar, and Akothee serves as a reminder that success is not just measured by monetary value, and that musicians should not be pitted against each other in a race for financial gain.
In conclusion, the recent exchange between Harmonize, Jaguar, and Akothee highlights the issue of wealth and competition in the music industry. While Jaguar claimed to be richer than both Harmonize and Akothee,
Harmonize denied this claim and encouraged Jaguar to keep banking on his cash. Akothee weighed in on the conversation, emphasizing that men should not compete and compare themselves with women and pointing out the motivation behind musicians running for political office. Ultimately, this exchange serves as a reminder that success is not just measured by monetary value and that musicians should not be pitted against each other in a race for financial gain.
