The US based crooner said it’s okay for entertainers to be passionate about their craft, but they need to diversify now.

Citing Dr Dre, Diddy and Jay Z as examples, Sodimu said:”A word is enough for the wise. Yes it is ok to be passionate about your craft, but you need to DIVERSIFY NOW. Dr. Dre made most of his money from Beats by Dre. Diddy made most of his money from Sean Jean (fashion), Jay z made most of his money from Rocca wear (fashion), 50 cent made most of his money from Vitamin water and TV production (power) Michael Jordan is worth over $2 BILLION! Most of it from Jordan clothing. Thank me later. I am well on my way”.
