Popular radio host, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Freeze, has stated that many Nigerian celebrities wear fake stuff.
“First things first, for all the entertainers putting up pictures of their accessories on Instagram, can they please tweet the receipt from an authorised dealer? Trust me, I have seen too many celebs wear fake stuff. You can tell that they don’t know what they are wearing. Of course, there are a few brand names like D’banj, Don Jazzy, P-Square or Wizkid that would not wear fake. I have seen them wear good watches. But there are some other people whom I have seen wear funny looking pieces.” He told Punch in a recent interview
He further said “There was one particular musician that I saw wearing a Rolex and the gold was fading. Rolex never uses gold plates, they use pure gold. If you see anything gold on a Rolex, it is pure gold. When I saw that, I was disappointed at the musician, especially because of the level of respect I had for the musician. There is no such thing like buying a Rolex with a credit card. You can’t buy a Rolex with a credit card; who are you? Diddy? For you to be able to walk away with a £20,000 watch, you would have a substantial amount of money in that card.”
The OAP however admitted his weakness for wrist watches, he said “I have maybe $200,000 in wrist watches. What I am wearing now is a Rolex Daytona, I got it from Polo for Christmas. It cost about $30,000. Polo is Nigeria’s only authorised dealer, so I bought it from the company and I love it.”
