Before becoming PM, Balen built his reputation in rooftop bars and online rap battles in Kathmandu where his lyrics focused on poverty, corruption and underdevelopment. His music career and Instagram account with over 1.2 million followers gave him massive social media presence.
He likely earned from music streaming, sponsorships, and content creation. As for being PM now, he probably doesn't need to earn anymore. His past income came from legitimate creative work. He started rapping in 2012 with his song "Sadak Balak". Making money from your talent before politics isn't controversial. It shows he built something real before jumping into power.
