    He praised Davido’s dedication to his craft, noting that even established artists like Davido still hustle like up-and-coming artists.

    He said, “I faded out [of the music industry] because I became less ambitious and comfortable with where I am. I was always on vacation, enjoying myself. I became less ambitious and took myself out of the competition [in the music industry].

    “Competition fuels consistency. Look at Davido for example, he hustles like an underground artist. He has money and fame but he still maintains his hustling spirit”.

    In an interview with Echo Room, the artist revealed that the woman gifted him the hefty sum as a token of appreciation after they spent the night together, clarifying that it was not a payment for sex.

    Orezi explained that he neither requested the money nor expected it, expressing shock when the woman transferred the amount to him.

    He said, “I wouldn’t say she paid me for sex. She only appreciated me for satisfying her. The highest amount I have received from a woman is N30 million. It was 2016 in Abuja.

    “She gave me the money because she liked me. If you like a lady, won’t you spend on her? We weren’t dating, but we had something going on. I didn’t ask her for the money. She gave it to me willingly as a fine boy. We clubbed together, had fun, and went home together. It was one nice aboki [Hausa] woman. I was in Abuja, and my return flight to Lagos was the next day.

    “I was shocked. I wasn’t expecting it. When I got to Lagos, she sent a message to check up on me and requested my account details. I sent her my account details, and she sent me N30 million. When I showed my friends the alert, they were shocked that a woman could gift a man such an amount.

    “A lot of male celebrities enjoy the same privilege. I feel like it’s a normal thing. I know a couple of artists who do. I’m sure they enjoy the same privilege. The same way there’s ‘fine girl privilege,’ there’s also the privilege of being a celebrity.”
