A former winner of Nigerian Idol, singer Kunle Ogunrombi popularly addressed as K-Peace, has claimed that the show organizers have not paid him prize money of N7.5 million 10 years after the event.
The Season 5 winner made the claim during an interview on the latest episode of the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’ with Nedu Wazobia.
In 2015, K-Peace was announced the winner of the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol Season 5.
Speaking 10 years after his win, the singer in a trending video on social media, stated that the organizers failed to fulfill 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.”
“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,” he said in pidgin English.
Nigerian Idol is a music talent reality show.
