The hitmaker also warned his critics not to mistake his silence for weakness.

I earn more from car wash business than music, says Jason Derulo
Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.
Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.
He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.
He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.
“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.
“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”
Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
