The rapper added that the people in the music industry look rich, including them as well, but it’s nothing that can even be compared to Arijit Singh. He further compared Arijit to the international rapper, Eminem, who is also considered one of the greatest rappers of all time but continues to keep his personal life low-key. In Raftaar’s words:
“The amount of money he 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.”

For the unversed, in Mumbai, a duplex costs crores. Raftaar can be quoted as saying:
“He did a show once, he went out, his car was taking time to come. He sat in the auto in front of him and left for home.
