A Nigerian lady has opened up about the circumstances that led her to participate in Pretty Mike’s attention-grabbing entrance at Obi Cubana’s birthday bash, shedding light on the realities many young women face in Nigeria’s capital city.
Earlier, it was reported that nightlife king Pretty Mike made headlines once again with his dramatic entrance to billionaire businessman Obi Cubana’s birthday celebration. He stormed the party flanked by 50 women dressed as accident victims, sparking mixed reactions online.
Now, a TikTok user identified as Victoria Outfit has come forward, revealing that she and her best friend were among the women involved in the stunt. According to Victoria, their decision to participate wasn’t just about fame or fun, it was driven by a desperate need to pay their house rent.
“We had to do it because we wanted to pay our house rent,” she wrote. “Living in Abuja can be overwhelming, especially for young girls like us. The high cost of living makes it challenging to make ends meet.”
Victoria disclosed that each participant received N10,000 for the performance and were also permitted to pick up cash sprayed during the event. While some online criticized the act as insensitive, others have expressed sympathy, noting the economic hardships faced by many young Nigerians.
“We pray God crowns our efforts with success,” Victoria added, reflecting a mix of hope and frustration.
Pretty Mike, known for his eccentric entrances at high-profile events, has not officially responded to the viral confession. However, the revelation has sparked fresh conversations around the lengths people go to survive in Nigeria’s tough economy and the intersection of entertainment, spectacle, and survival.
