Richie Rich, son of Instagram celebrity Mompha who is facing series of court cases bordering on money laundering in Nigeira, has been featured in UK's The Sun

The pint-sized pre-teen influencer – real name Muhammed Awal Mustapha – shows off his blingtastic lifestyle to his 25,000 followers on Instagram.

One post shows him on the bonnet of a cream Bentley Flying Spur which he said his dad bought for him as his first car.

In another he poses in front of a red Lamborghini Aventador dressed head to toe in designer clothes. He captioned the post: "Happy birthday to me."

More flashy motors including a yellow Ferrari can be seen parked outside one of his sprawling luxury homes in Dubai.

Muhammed is the son of multimillionaire Nigerian internet celebrity Ismailia Mustapha, who goes by the name Mompha.

Mompha senior has tastes just as expensive as his son, and is known for his extravagant spending and A-lister lifestyle.

He shuttles between his homes in Lagos and the UAE and shares pictures with over a million Instagram followers.

Pics show him holding wads of banknotes, staying at seven-star hotels and driving in hypercars.

He bought Mompha Jr his first mansion for his sixth birthday in 2019.

He reportedly wrote at the time: "Owning your own home is one of the best feelings ever. It can't be described in words, it can't be quantified in money.

"Home ownership is a feeling that makes life's daily grind worth facing. It reassures you that after all the ups and downs you have a place to go to…. A place that will never judge you and always invite you with open arms…

"Congrats My Son on your New Home. Ur birthday Gift from Daddy."

The proud dad also claimed Mompha Jr's achievements should be celebrated in their own right.

He said on Insta: "The youngest landlord who wears Gucci and still owns a house.

"He deserves some accolades cos he has paid his dues in full."

The UK tabloid further referenced Mompha's court cases in Nigeria. It added;

Mompha is said to have made his fortune from a bureau de change business in Lagos before moving into investments.

But he is now facing criminal charges accused of laundering more than £10million.

Earlier this month, a court heard claims by Nigeria's anti-corruption agency that Mompha hid his wealth in luxury watches and other "movable assets".

He was remanded in custody to await trial, and then released on £350,000 bail, according to local reports.

Nigeria has embraced conspicuous consumption with its own generation of Rich Kids of Instagram flaunting their private jets and jewels.

DJ Cuppy Speaks – Why I Felt Insecure About How People Viewed My Haircut

Posted: 28 Jan 2022 04:30 AM PST

Nigerian music artiste and disk jockey, DJ Cuppy, is lamenting, weeks after shaving off her hair.

While being hosted by her long-time friend and online celebrity, Kiddwaya at an unplanned Instagram live session in the UK, on Thursday, said that she felt insecure about how people viewed her haircut, adding that a lot of young black people were too superficial.

DJ Cuppy whose real name is Florence Otedola, is currently studying at Oxford University and at the beginning of 2022, she launched a new look as she cut her hair and dyed it pink, which is her signature colour.

She said felt a bit insecure about how people looked at her since she cut her hair. She lamented that the cruise on focusing on mundane things has gone a notch among young black people.

Cuppy said, "A lot of guys are not attracted to someone with short hair. And it's really annoying because I'm the same person. To me, it made me insecure and I asked myself, 'am I ugly?'

"I feel like as Nigerians and young black people, we need to stop being so on the surface. We are putting ourselves under too much pressure. Even with make-up, lashes, we cannot kill ourselves. Even weight is a thing."

Cuppy, however, noted that she would prefer to be real. She also believes that sharing her real self in her relationship will keep it going in the good days and the bad days.

She said, "People adore my sister Temi, she is a fashionista, she is so graceful. We are from the same parents, but I am never going to look like her. It is important that we don't put ourselves under pressure.

"You and I always talk about the premium cuppy, which is pressure in itself. If I don't want to be this premium princess with pink long hair and wearing dresses all the time, so be it.

"The reality is that, if you are serious about your partner, your partner has to take you for the good days and bad days. One day, your partner is going to see your real hair. One day, she is going to see your false eyelashes fall off. Except you want to be fake for most of your relationship."

Meanwhile, Kiddawaya said that women have the power to control the narrative on beauty.

They also acknowledged that a lot of Nigerians are going through mental health and socio-economic issues. However, Both of them felt that many Nigerian are dismissive of the pressures, and private struggles of privileged folks like themselves.
