News: Iyanya Explains Why He Posts Pictures Of His Cars or Money On Instagram

Kukere crooner, Iyanya, in a new interview with Punch explained why he shows off on Instagram, while denying he recently bought 4 cars on the same day.

He said:

“I didn’t buy four cars in one day o. I only bought just one which I posted on Instagram. So I don’t know where people got their own story from. We have four cars in this house. I also do not get it when people say we (artistes) show off on social media. I mean if God has blessed me, there is no reason to hide that. We are not showing off. After all, everyone knows Iyanya’s story. Whenever I post pictures of my cars or money on Instagram, the public should understand that it is just my own way of saying if God can do it for me, He can for you too.”


“I am not half as appreciated in Nigeria as I am overseas. I guess that is the many rewards that ‘Kukere’ has earned me within a short period of time.  The track is the most requested of all my songs at home and abroad. The Soul Train nomination was the icing on the cake for me, I felt proud walking and sitting close to my role models at the award ceremony. It was a life-changing moment for me,” he says.

Judging by the manner in which he made mention of Kukere at any given opportunity, Iyanya explains that there is no way the track can be separated from his success story.

“The truth is that I came up with Kukere to make money because Nigerians were not listening to RnB . See where it has gotten me today,” he adds.
