Kunle Ogunrombi, better known as K-Peace, a former winner of Nigerian Idol, has accused the show’s organizers of failing to pay the prize money.

The winner of Season 5 made this claim during an interview on the latest episode of the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’ with Nedu Wazobia.

Reports indicate that in 2015, K-Peace was crowned the winner of the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol Season 5.

Speaking a decade after his victory, the singer, in a trending video on social media, revealed that the organizers did not fulfill the promises made to the public regarding the prize.

Expressing his disappointment and frustration, he said, “I came out of the Nigerian Idol platform with zero naira in my account.”

In pidgin English, he continued, “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 went through hell after winning the show.”

Nigerian Idol is a music talent reality show.
