In 2014, at the height of his fame, the
self-acclaimed Musical Taliban, Oritsefemi, announced to the public that
he had moved into a N200m mansion in the posh Lekki area of Lagos. His
fans were happy to receive the news as many said it was the beginning of
many more good things to come in his life.
So many people even thought the
property was his since that year had been good to him as he was all over
the country performing his songs at elite events.
However, it came as a shock when news
made rounds a few weeks ago that the singer was facing ejection from the
said apartment. It was alleged that Oritsefemi’s landlord had
threatened to throw him out from his property after he had failed to pay
the rent which was due some months ago.
It was reported that Oritsefemi, who was
out of the country for a while, had since returned but was avoiding the
landlord who had vowed to effect the quit notice by the end of May if
the singer failed to pay his rent.
But in a telephone conversation, the
singer said there was no iota of truth in the story as he was calling
from the house. He told Saturday Beats that he had no problem with his landlord while claiming they are “Five and Six”.
“There is no iota of truth in the story
and I was never threatened with ejection letter from my landlord. I
don’t know where the story emanated from but it is a blatant lie. I went
for my Europe tour and I returned about a week ago only to see this
news all over blogs. I toured about 13 countries. I am inside my house
as we speak on the phone. My landlord and I are like 5 and 6, we are
very close. The news is totally false. I don’t have any issues with my
landlord, in fact, he was surprised that I had not called him in a while
and I told him I went for my Europe tour. The man is a high ranking
police officer.
“I just got back from my tour and I have
enough money, I cannot be broke. The tour was successful and everywhere
was sold out. All our shows were sold out, so I cannot be unfortunate
to be that broke. As I got back to Nigeria, I began work because I was
booked at different gigs,” he said.
