Mr Eazi Reveals MC Job Earned Him More Money Than Music Performances

Ghanaian-Nigerian musician Mr Eazi has disclosed that the highest amount of money he has earned from an entertainment engagement came from working as a Master of Ceremonies (MC), rather than performing his own songs.

In an interview with 3Music, the Leg Over hitmaker revealed that he received his biggest payment as an artiste while hosting an event in the South of France.

According to him, his experience as an MC has opened up lucrative opportunities, with earnings from hosting events sometimes exceeding what he makes from performing on stage as a musician.

Mr Eazi also recounted hosting a major event in Sweden, where he entertained an audience estimated at between 7,000 and 10,000 people without performing any of his songs.

He explained that his responsibility at the event was solely to engage the audience and keep them entertained throughout the programme.

“The most money I’ve ever been paid as an artiste, I didn’t get paid as Mr Eazi. I got paid as the MC in the South of France. You should see the shows,” he said.

The musician’s revelation highlights another side of his entertainment career, demonstrating how opportunities beyond music performances can also become financially rewarding for artistes.

Speaking about his album The Evil Genius, Mr Eazi explained that the project was a reflection of his personal thoughts and state of mind during the period he created it.

He described the album as a personal artistic expression, noting that the songs were influenced by what was happening in his mind at the time.
