One time Big Brother Africa housemate, Model and Entrepreneur, Tayo Faniran has taken a swipe at Ayiri Emami, Nigerian businessman, politician, philanthropist for allegedly ruining his opportunity with Nigerians in 2014.
Tayo Faniran who has joined other Nigerian celebrities to react to the Davido trend on Thursday 18th November 2021, took to his official social media handle to express his disappointment towards the Warri Chief about his alleged failed promise in 2014, shortly after the Big Brother Africa reality TV show, which was the season 9 edition of the show.
Tayo taking to his social media handle, posted a message calling out Ayiri Emami, where he said his audio $350,000 made Nigerians not to money for him in 2014, after losing out to Idris Sultan in season 9 of Big Brother Africa. He said:
“This Davido’s trend just reminded me of how Nigerians wanted to donate money for me in 2014 but Ayiri ruined it for me with audio $350,000,” he said.
Stating further, he thanked Desmond Elliot for raising money for him after the show, adding that “….Desmond Elliot in many people’s books may have done something bad but I will always remember him for the good he once did to me,he started to raise funds for me after what you know who did to me in 2014.
Tayo continued:
“…before Ayiri’s news of giving me $350,000 hit the net,mumu me sef carry my big head go snap photo with him and @official2baba ,that was how my fans concluded that I got paid , fast forward to 2019 I ran into Ayiri at Quilox,I say make I greet am,oh boy if you see how baba strong face for me like say I still won remind am of the money ,but baba forget say he use me blow that year,” he added.
While it took Tayo almost 7-years to come out with this, Chief Ayiri is yet to respond to this allegation.
