BNXN said :
“I was really stunned [winning a Bentley], mainly because I wasn’t expecting it. I thought it would take me a longer time to get a Bentley. I just got a car before that award show because I didn’t want to be pressured by losing the car [Bentley] or not. So, I had to buy another car separately to compensate myself.
“But when I won I was really stunned. Even when they shipped it and brought it to Lagos, it was another, ‘Wow! It’s right here.’ I was really excited.”
Recall that BNXN appealed to the Lagos Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who also the graced the 2022 edition of the Headies in the United States, to help ship the british-made hand-built SUV to Lagos, Nigeria.
He said:
“My Governor, please o, they gave me car. The money is plenty. I can’t bring it to Lagos… If you want me to drive it, maybe you will help me bring it to Lagos. Thank you guys so much. I love you guys. My Governor abeg, help me bring my car to Lagos.”
