Yinka TNT reacts to Mercy Aigbe's outfit

The singer voiced her displeasure towards Mercy's expensive outfit, noting that some of her colleagues in the movie industry are struggling.

Yinka TNT noted how some aged movie stars would appeal to the public for help, often due to homelessness or their battle with health challenges, while the likes of Mercy splashed millions on outfits, which they wear only once.

She added that most of the members of the public who crowdfund for struggling movie stars cannot afford the lavish lifestyle portrayed by stars like Mercy.

“You bought cloth for N16m just for an event, coming from the industry that will later bring sick people for help," she said in part.
