After Getting Kicked Out, Oritsefemi Moves Into N400m Lekki Home
About a week ago, news made rounds that self-acclaimed musical Taliban, Oritsefemi, was having accommodation problems. It was reported that the musician was finding it hard to pay his house rent at his Lekki Phase 1 apartment.
Due to this, the ‘Double Wahala’ crooner was said to have been sent packing by his landlord, due to his inability to pay his rent after many months of default. It was also gathered that the singer, who made fame and money through his hit songs, is now squatting with a lady in Lekki.
This is not the first time the singer has been alleged to be having accommodation problems. Last year, the singer was also said to have been sent packing from his apartment due to his inability to pay his rent.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, the singer denied the claim, saying that it was quite funny that anyone would believe he is unable to pay his house rent. He further revealed that he just moved into an apartment that cost about N400m in Lekki Phase 1.
He said, “I think it is just idle talk and gossips for someone to claim that I was evicted from my apartment. I think it is very funny but I don’t dwell on such matters any more at this stage of my career. What is constant in life is change; with the help of God, my brand is expanding and it is important to explore other side of businesses. But the concept has changed now. I have just moved into a mansion worth N400m and the edifice is well equipped with state of the art studio and other modern facilities. I started from Ajegunle before I moved to FESTAC. From FESTAC, I later moved from Ikeja before I got to Lekki phase 1, years ago. It has all been God,” he said.
Oritsefemi hinted that he will soon be embarking on his Corporate Miscreant Musical World Tour which he said would take him to Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia in a couple of weeks.

The Afrobeats star had faced similar accusations in the past.
In August 2023, Alabi Adetutu, the Nigerian model, accused Davido of owing her for her role in ‘Wonder Woman’ visuals.
In 2022, Dammy Krane, the singer, also called out Davido to pay him for his contribution to the hit song ‘Pere’.
Krane said despite co-writing the 2017 hit song — which featured Rae Sremmurd and rapper Young Thug — “Davido is yet to pay my outstanding fee”.
