Here's How Much Jhene Aiko Is Really Worth
Singer Jhené Aiko's music career has been underway for quite some time. As the Los Angeles Times noted, Aiko was signed by Epic Records when she was just 13, however, "politics kept her debut shelved and she asked to be released from the deal after two years to focus on school."
It wouldn't be until the following decade when Aiko started to really get noticed. In 2011, she released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s). Two years later, she dropped her debut EP, Sail Out, on Artium and Def Jam. Her long-awaited debut album, Souled Out, peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top spot on the R&B chart. To date, Aiko has released three studio albums. Her most recent LP, 2020's Chilombo, proved to be a huge success and earned Aiko three Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year.
With a lot of recognition and popular music, some may wonder how much Aiko is actually worth?
