THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Mohammad Nihad, aka Thoppi, a popular YouTuber with over seven lakh subscribers, recently stunned his fans by disclosing his income. Thoppi made the revelation in response to a question about whether he was involved in drug dealing. Thoppi shared a video explaining his earnings and even displayed his streaming contract on the screen.
"You don’t know how much I earn from streaming, that’s the issue. Then let me tell you something. This is my original streaming contract. I get $250 per hour for streaming, which is around Rs 21,000. So, for five hours, how much will I earn? Rs 1 lakh. Sometimes, I stream for up to eight hours.
That’s what I meant when I said I earn Rs 1 lakh a day from streaming. Now calculate how much that is in a month. And this is just my earnings from streaming. Then there are promotions, inaugurations, and more. I get income from all these legal sources. So why would I get into drug dealing when I can legally make this much money?" Thoppi said.
