Arijit Singh’s fandom knows no bounds, and rappers Ikka Singh and Raftaar recently sat down to discuss the “Channa Mereya” singer’s simplicity despite his massive earnings. They highlighted how Arijit keeps his life hassle-free and avoids showing off his wealth. During their conversation, they revealed an interesting anecdote about Arijit’s earnings. They shared that his fee for performing at a single wedding was so substantial that he was able to purchase a duplex apartment in Mumbai with that income alone.
Speaking on Honestly Saying Podcast, Ikka shared, “The amount of money he (Arijit)) makes is crazy and the person he is. People in the music industry think of themselves as rich, they even look rich, this includes us, but Arijit can have 100 of us for lunch.” He compared Arijit’s grounded nature to that of international rapper Eminem, who, despite being one of the greatest rappers of all time, keeps his personal life simple and away from the public eye.
Ikka also drew comparisons to AR Rahman, saying, “Rahman sir takes Rs 3 crores to do a live show. Just check how much Arijit sir takes. It’s about timing also, but he isn’t making noise about it—and that’s the difference.”
Interestingly, Arijit recently performed at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, sharing the stage with celebrated artists like Shreya Ghoshal, Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan, and Lucky Ali. Videos of Arijit and Shreya’s duets from the event went viral on social media. In August, Arijit also made headlines when he became the first Indian music artist to surpass 100 million followers on Spotify.
