In the same conversation, the songstress also recalled that someone once surprised her with a Range Rover as a birthday gift, but she eventually returned it.

She explained:

“Someone bought me a Range Rover for my birthday, which I returned. It was on the day that my now ex-husband proposed to me. I didn’t know it was going to be presented that same day."

The coincidence, she said, made the entire situation awkward, especially given that it clashed with one of the most emotional moments of her life — her engagement.

@ofeyou1:

"Imagine the power dynamics here… Celebrities get gestures like private jets, but most people don’t even get respect or basic help. Makes you wonder who really holds influence in society."

@Elvisbo:

"Is this what you should be talking about on Air. Sometimes, these celebrities, because they need to trend, would cook up one story or another just to be in the news. This is another one."

@Frankaize:

"Nigerian politicians really do stuff like that. You just don't know it. I know someone (an old friend from school) who has literally been to 6 countries in the past 5 months, just flexing cuz a politician set his sights on her. Keep playing"
