Nigerian musician Orezi recently revealed that he received N30 million as a gift from a woman he met at a club in Abuja after a casual encounter.
In an interview with Echo Room, the Ogede singer clarified that he was not in a relationship with the woman, but had simply met her at the club.
Orezi also stated that many of his peers in the industry also experience similar situations.
Orezi said, “I wouldn’t say she paid me for sex. She only appreciated me for satisfying her. The highest amount I have received from a woman is N30 million. It was 2016 in Abuja.
“She gave me the money because she liked me. If you like a lady, won’t you spend on her? We weren’t dating, but we had something going on. I didn’t ask her for the money. She gave it to me willingly as a fine boy. We clubbed together, had fun, and went home together. It was one nice aboki [Hausa] woman. I was in Abuja, and my return flight to Lagos was the next day.
“I was shocked. I wasn’t expecting it. When I got to Lagos, she sent a message to check up on me and requested my account details. I sent her my account details, and she sent me N30 million. When I showed my friends the alert, they were shocked that a woman could gift a man such an amount.
“A lot of male celebrities enjoy the same privilege. I feel like it’s a normal thing. I know a couple of artists who do. I’m sure they enjoy the same privilege. The same way there’s ‘fine girl privilege,’ there’s also the privilege of being a celebrity.”
