Nigerian singer, Kunle Ogunrombi, popularly known as K-Peace and a former winner of the popular music talent show Nigerian Idol, has alleged that he is yet to receive his prize money, 10 years after his victory.

K-Peace was announced the winner of the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol Season 5 in 2015.

However, during a recent interview on the latest episode of the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu Wazobia, K-Peace claimed that despite it being a decade since his win, he has not received the N7.5 million prize money.

He said:
“I came outside of the Nigerian Idol platform with zero naira in my account.”

“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.”
