Big Brother Naija star, Victoria Iye, popularly known as Vee, has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding singer Burna Boy’s alleged unfulfilled promise to socialite Sophia Egbueje.
In a recently leaked audio conversation with a friend, Sophia accused Burna Boy of having a one-night stand with her and failing to keep his promise of buying her a Lamborghini.
Responding in a video posted on her TikTok page, Vee claimed that many Nigerian women rely financially on men. She also expressed concern over the growing trend of transactional relationships in the country, stating that it needs to be addressed.
She said, “She [Sophia Egbueje] wanted to sleep with someone in exchange for a Lamborghini.’ That’s fantastic.
“But who was the person recording the conversation? Reveal yourself. I’m so scared of the person who was instigating that conversation while recording it. That’s the devil’s friend.
“We’ve heard all we need to hear, especially from the horse’s mouth. She has revealed her situation with her own mouth.
“By next week, there will be another case of fooling. We are used to that. Everybody has their own opinion. Everybody has their views, morals on how things go.
“But this is the way things have been and that’s is how it’s always going to be. It’s demand and supply.
“Everything has become very transactional. We normalise it now and pay the price later. There’s no point of speaking down on it or speaking against it or speaking for it, it’s just the way it is.
“I feel like that beating on this subject is just a waste of time. There are always going to be men that wants to pay for sex and there are always going to be women that are willing to have the sex.
“Long shall it continue, there’s nothing we can do about that, especially in Nigeria where a lot of women are on survival mode. And it’s bringing out the worst in people. It needs to be checked.”
