Reality star Kiddwaya has addressed viral reports that he spent $30,000 on a plate of jollof rice at Whitemoney’s restaurant.
Speaking in a recent interview with Trend Centrl on YouTube, the reality star explained that he was trying to support his friend’s business, and wondered why anyone would spend such a huge amount on a plate of Jollof Rice.
He stressed that his intention was to support a friend’s business rather than splurge that much on food.
“First of all, I was supporting a friend’s business. That’s it. Jollof rice was the concept. I follow Whitemoney on his food; his food is great. So he makes jollof rice, chicken, and all that kind of stuff. I was supporting his brand, helping him push it. The jollof rice was just the concept of it,” Kiddwaya said.
He added that social media users twisted the narrative after seeing pictures of him at the restaurant.
“You know when you post on social media, people will assume it’s that. But really, who’s spending thirty grand on one plate of jollof rice?” he asked.
“So I let them run with the story. I’m on Twitter, reading everything they said, I just said okay, cool. Never try to fight it.”
Kiddwaya concluded by saying his gesture was simply about showing love and support for Whitemoney’s growing food brand.
