PROFESSOR Green has revealed he’s got no savings despite his chart-topping success – and faces selling his house.
The rapper first hit the Top 10 in 2010 with debut single I Need You Tonight before going on to have a number one single with Read All About It in 2011.
But despite his chart success and collaborations with the likes of Lily Allen, Example and Emeli Sande, the star has revealed his finances do not reflect that.
In a new interview with The i Paper, Professor Green – real name Stephen Manderson – said: “So many artists get chewed up, spat out and come out the other side of it with f**k all.
“Everyone around them makes money – apart from them, because they’re good with words, songs and feelings, but they’re not good with money.
“It’s weird to get to this age and realise I’ve had no financial advice. I’m 42 and I spoke to a financial adviser for the first time recently, which was very telling.”

He continued: “I’ve got no real savings, no investments, no stocks, no shares, no ISAs.
“It’s hard to comprehend that I’ve got so much of my money tied up in a house that I don’t entirely own.
“Now that interest rates are no longer 1.7 per cent, I even wonder whether I should sell my house and rent, to future-proof myself.
“I’m forever on Rightmove, looking at houses I can’t afford.”
While he has continued to make music, Pro Green has also turned his hand to TV in recent months, appearing on The Masked Singer as the character Teabag in January.
Then in May he appeared on the 15th series of Celebs Go Dating on E4.
