Northern based musician, Zaaki Azzay claims he has been doing so well since he left his ex-wife.
You don’t believe him? Please do.
He recently joined the league of G-Wagon owners, and has now completed his estate in Makurdi, Benue State.
“It is very true that since I left my ex-wife, things have been
better for me. I know for certain that it is true and it has a spiritual
connotation. I don’t know why but it is left for God. All I know is
that I was married to a woman who I loved so much and I thought she
loved me the same way. But unfortunately, I discovered otherwise. I
cannot say all the things she did to the press because of my children. I
don’t want to go into details but it is God’s will. Nobody can prosper
in life without God’s grace,” he told punch newspaper.
Oh by the way, he says n o one should query him for his extravagant spending,.
“Album sales do not fetch artistes money. Nigerians could be very
surprising at times. I was already a millionaire at the age of 18. I
have been in the entertainment industry for over two decades; I have
many hit songs and have performed in shows all over the world. I am a
Glo ambassador and you know how many millions that is worth. I have had
performances for Bill Clinton and George Bush. I have achieved so much
and yet I buy a G-Wagon of about N30m and people are asking questions.
Am I not supposed to have bought about 20 G-Wagons years ago?
“If the artiste is not successful in his career, you complain but
would you say that I have not made hits in Nigeria? I have several
laurels under my belt. What if I have invested my money somewhere and it
is yielding returns? I don’t have to explain how I spend my money to
anybody. I have always been a low key person and so I don’t like
announcing things like this. Why do people think they call me the last
man standing? All my mates have virtually fallen; I am the only artiste
from my time that is still here. I have one Benue International Festival
that I do annually and this year’s own is gearing up. Have you
forgotten how many millions I made in the last One Benue International
Festival launch? I don’t understand people sometimes.”
“I have always been in love with a G-Wagon and I have been praying to
God that I should be able to afford one before I die. Last week, I was
able to afford one, a 2013 model. I was actually building an estate on a
street that is named after me somewhere in Makurdi. I eventually
finished building it and moved into one of the flats recently. I am not
relocating to Makurdi, I built the estate for commercial purposes. In
fact, I am building another one in Lekki where the street is also named
after me, Zaki Azzay Close,” he said.
