A trending video on social media has stirred mixed reactions after a man was captured spraying veteran Nigerian musician 9ice with ₦5 notes during a live performance.
The short clip, which began circulating over the weekend, shows the man gleefully tossing the small denomination notes at the singer as onlookers reacted with shock and amusement.
The incident reportedly took place at a local event where 9ice was performing one of his popular tracks. While some guests found the act entertaining, others condemned it as “disrespectful” to a music icon who has contributed immensely to the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Online users have since taken sides. One viewer asked, “Na insult?” while another humorously wondered, “₦5 notes still dey?” A section of the audience argued that it was a clear show of disregard, insisting that a legend like 9ice deserved better treatment.
However, several commenters defended the man, suggesting he merely sprayed what he could afford. One wrote, “Na wetin him get, him spray.” Another added jokingly, “He go later press money; make him enjoy small cruise first.”
The viral moment has reignited discussions about the culture of money spraying in Nigeria a long-standing tradition that’s often seen as a sign of appreciation. While many believe that any amount given in good faith should be accepted, others argue that using very low denominations can come off as an insult, especially to established entertainers.
As the video continues to circulate, social media remains divided torn between viewing the act as light-hearted fun or a slight against one of Nigeria’s respected musical figures.
