BBNaija: Prince rejects GoFundMe set up by fans to start salon

Prince, a recently evicted housemate of the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) reality TV show, has rejected a GoFundMe account set up for him by fans.

Prince was evicted from the ‘Lockdown’ house last Saturday alongside Kiddwaya after garnering the lowest votes for the week.

Shortly after his eviction, some of his die-hard fans, who christened themselves “Royal Army”, had set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for him to start up a salon of his own.

In a post on his Instagram page on Tuesday, the reality star appreciated their thoughtfulness.

He, however, rejected the gesture, saying that he already had some investors who would support his dream.

“My dear Royal Army, I’m still overwhelmed and trying to soak in all the love you have been showing me. I’m sincerely speechless because I never expected the love I’m receiving,” he wrote.

“This GoFundMe account was brought to my attention last night and I almost teared up by the mere thought and intentions behind it.

“We are experiencing difficult times now and people still want to do this for me? Nah, I think it’s time you all rest while I think of what to do to pay you all back for the surreal love.

“I sincerely appreciate this gesture, but I want my Royal Army to save their funds on this one. My dream of starting a salon will surely come to pass ASAP, as I already have some Investors and hopefully some brands interested in this dream.

“I want to make you all proud and all I need right now is the continuous love, spiritual and moral support you all have been excessively showing me.”

This is not the first time fans will be setting up a GoFundMe account for an ex-BBNaija housemate.

TheCable Lifestyle had earlier reported how a fundraising campaign was launched for Erica, a disqualified housemate, and how the account raked in about N6.3 million after 24 hours.
