I’m richer than every Yahoo boy, Frank Edwards boasts
Frank Edwards, the Nigerian gospel singer, has boasted about his wealth, saying “I am richer than every Yahoo boy”.
Speaking at a recent religious gathering, the music evangelist argued that the comfort he enjoys from his wealth cannot be the same as people who engage in internet fraud.
To buttress his points, Edwards added that he can spend his money freely unlike “internet fraudsters;” some of whom he claimed do not “sleep at night or in peace”.
“You have already heard it in the message that Yahoo is not the way. Yahoo Plus is not the way. I am telling you the truth and I am not hiding,” he said in a now-viral video.
“I do not know anyone doing yahoo plus or anything that is wealthier than I am. And because I sleep in my house and I have peace.
“Most of those people build houses they can not sleep in. They cannot sleep at night. Some of them do not shower.
“So they use a lot of perfume because they have told them ‘you cannot shower’. Some of them buy a lot of expensive perfumes, thinking that they would think it will make a difference.
“What is the point of having money and they say ‘do not help your mother’? You are a billionaire but they are saying do not help your family with this money. You can not sleep. Is that one money? That is not money.
“But me, I can sleep. I can buy anything I want. I can help anyone I want to help. And I am sure that my salvation is intact. Most importantly.”

Spyro says he spends over N15m yearly on people who beg for help
Spyro, the Nigerian singer, has expressed frustration about the constant requests for money and gifts from people.
In a recent Instagram post, the ‘Who’s Your Guy’ hitmaker revealed that he spends “at least N100,000 on gifts” whenever he goes out, which adds up to “around N15 million per year”.
The 34-year-old also complained that people often insult him when he refuses to give them money or gifts.
He said being a celebrity in Lagos comes with immense pressure, and he feels obligated to spend money on others whenever he’s out in public.
“Really hard being a celebrity in Lagos. I told a guy I didn’t have anything and would see him the next day. He rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house, I spend a minimum of N100k on gifts. Now let’s do the maths: let’s say I go out three times a week, that’s N300k per week, making N1.2m per month, and that’s about N15 million a year. Kilode,” he wrote.
“If I enter restaurant, billings go de wait me outside. I enter church, same thing. Enter estate, same. Carry phone enter online, na same same,” he captioned the post.
“Everybody wants to take, but nobody de give you, and nobody thinks of how you are fairing. 🤦🏾♂️ S/O to everyone of my colleagues out there going through this. Ya’ll are the real MVPs, and I celebrate you. 🙏🏾.”

Wizkid, Jada Pollock welcome third child
Wizkid and Jada Pollock, his manager, have welcomed their third child together.
The baby’s arrival was announced via a photo on Pollock’s Instagram story.
In the picture, Jada, noticeably without her baby bump, was dressed in comfortable sweatpants while holding onto a baby’s cot.
The baby’s gender, name, and date of birth, however, remain unknown.
In December, the talent manager revealed that she suffered a health scare during the first three months of her third pregnancy.
Pollock disclosed that she underwent an appendectomy. She described the period as the most terrifying experience of her life.
“At the beginning of the year, I faced the biggest fright of my life,” she wrote.
“Three months into my pregnancy, I was rushed to the hospital to have my appendix removed. Against all odds, both my baby and I made it through safely.
“Life is too short to be anything but grateful.”
Pollock, 41, and Wizkid, 34, met in 2012 when she was still managing Akon, the 51-year-old Senegalese-American singer.
The duo became friends and later lovers. They welcomed Zion Ayo-Balogun, their first child in 2017. In October 2022, Pollock announced the birth of their second child.
