Former Nigerian Idol winner, Kunle Ogunrombi, popularly known as K-Peace, has alleged that the show’s organisers failed to pay his prize money.
The Season 5 winner stated this in a recent episode of the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’ with Nedu Wazobia, which was released on Instagram on Sunday.
K-Peace won the fifth season of Nigerian Idol, sponsored by Etisalat, in 2015.
Nigerian Idol is a reality show that aims to uncover new musical talent.
The musician said that ten years after his victory, the organizers failed to deliver the prizes that were made public.
Expressing his frustration and disappointment, he said, “I came outside of the Nigerian Idol platform with zero naira in my account.”
Speaking in pidgin English, he continued “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.”
