Nigerian Idol winner cries out over non-payment of prize money after 10 years
A former winner of Nigerian Idol, K-Peace, originally called Kunle Ogunrombi, has accused the show organizers of not paying prize money ten years after.
The singer and season 5 winner made the claim during an interview on the latest episode of the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’ with Nedu Wazobia.
10 years after, the singer in a trending video on social media, accused the organizers of failing to fulfill the prizes announced to the public.
Expressing his frustration and disappointment, he said “I came outside of the Nigerian Idol platform with zero naira in my account.”
Speaking in pidgin English, he continued “As Nigerian Idol winner, I go waka all through Lagos, go for interviews without food for belle despite winning N7.5 million.
“They announced that I had won N7.5 million. When I asked about the prize, they said they are still branding the car. What they announced on national TV be say I won N7.5 million with a brand new car and I’m supposed to have a two week trip to Dubai. I go through hell after winning the show.”
Recalled that in 2015, K-Peace was announced the winner of the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol Season 5.
Nigerian Idol is a music talent reality show.
