Nigerian billionaire and founder of Coscharis Motors, Cosmas Maduka, has addressed the viral drama involving nightlife mogul Cubana Chiefpriest over the popular slang, “money na water.”
The drama began after a video surfaced showing Maduka subtly criticising what he described as Nigeria’s declining value system, claiming he had “never met a truly wealthy person who says ‘money na water.’”
Many assumed his statement was a shade directed at Cubana Chiefpriest, who popularised the phrase as a symbol of affluence and carefree spending.

Cubana Chiefpriest wasted no time in responding. In a post on social media, the celebrity barman blasted the billionaire, saying he didn’t belong in the same financial league as Aliko Dangote or Femi Otedola, urging him to “remove himself from the list of real billionaires.”

However, in a response shared via WhatsApp to entrepreneur Stephen Akintayo, Cosmas Maduka made it clear that he bore no grudge and wasn’t referring to Chiefpriest in his statement.
He said:
“I have just discovered also the above, even though I never met him nor attended any of his events, and if I did, I cannot remember. I never had him in mind when I said what I believed was a wrong value system we have embraced. I respect his views because he is entitled to his opinion, and I wish him the best of life. May God bless him.”
