Man id rather do 3 shows for $20k each than do than 6 shows for $10k...
You gotta look at as work days and off days...
That dude has 10 kids or more...
Thats not how it works
Ilovemakonnen at the height of his tuesday song asked for 25k an appearance. He'd get booked 1-2 times a month at most (festivals/colleges that cN afford him. Not too many clubs willing to shell out 25k for someohe with 1 hit) Thats 50k before taxes at most, management, booking agent, etc. still great money but left a lot of money on the table.
Someone like boosie can get 10-15k an appearance 3-4 times a week. Thats 30-45k a week. On top of going to these other cities getting 5-10k a feature on top that. Probably clearing 150-200k a month easy. These "chitlin circuit" rappers almost always have a longer and better financially career than people with huge hits.
Gucci mane was clearing 5 million a year doing 10-15k a show and this before clubs were having artists like they do now.
People like boosie and gucci travel state to state getting money off features on top of the club appearance so it comes out to 20-30k a trip anyway. They just doing it more often.
They also dont have 500 people in they pocket like most artists you see with big hits.
