Kiddwaya, a renowned Big Brother Naija reality TV star and billionaire heir, is under criticism for requesting monetary donations from Nigerians.
According to reports, Kiddwaya began a fundraising campaign on Wednesday through his NGO to help the victims of the Benue massacre.
Kiddwaya, in an appeal shared on X, called on the public to donate what they could, from N500 to N500,000. “At the Kiddwaya Foundation, we’re mobilizing resources to provide food, shelter, and essential support to those affected. But we can’t do it alone; we need your help.”
His call for donations met with backlash following his constant display of wealth and flamboyant lifestyle on the internet.
Reacting to the criticism, Kiddwaya took to his page to delete the viral post.
