Nigerian gospel legend Yinka Ayefele was left in disbelief after a fan presented him with bundles of ₦5 notes during a recent event, in a scene that has since gone viral.
In a video circulating online, the fan enthusiastically hands the singer several thick wads of low-denomination currency. Ayefele, visibly taken aback, initially appears reluctant to accept but eventually receives the money as the admirer persists. His reaction has sparked a wave of humorous comments across social media.
Sharing the clip on his Instagram, the veteran musician and broadcaster expressed his amusement in Yoruba, writing: “EGBAMI O… 5 NAIRA BUNDLE… Five naira bundles??? Ohun oju mi ri, enu mi ko le e so.” (“What my eyes have seen, my mouth cannot say.”)
The moment has drawn a wide range of reactions from netizens, with some jokingly calculating the total amount, others praising the fan's audacity, and many simply enjoying the singer's good-natured response.
Comments ranged from “Everything go be like 10,500 naira” to “Money na water” and “I love his smile 😂 Yinka Ayefele self na cruise.”
Despite the unusual denomination, the gesture highlights the playful and sometimes surprising interactions between Nigerian celebrities and their fans, and Ayefele’s gracious reaction has only added to his beloved public image.
