Orezi who faced severe backlash few days ago for allegedly burning the N1,000 note in a new photo, has denied burning the Nigerian currency.

Orezi who released the picture to promote his new music, Born Broke Die Rich, was slammed by social media users who felt it was disrespectful to Nigeria and the country’s legal tender. However Orezi who denied burning the Nigerian currency in a new interview with Saturday Beats, said it was an edited picture.

“I never burnt the N1,000 note like people thought, it was just graphics; an edited picture. I did not burn the Nigerian currency. If you look at the picture, you would see that the fire almost got to my eyes. If it were real, I would not have been able to withstand the heat. I cannot allow fire to burn my eyes because I want to take a picture. I replied some comments when people were criticising me because of the picture.

“I told them that it was an artistic paper and I did not burn the Nigerian currency. Why would I burn money to promote my music? A lot of my fans also tried to explain to those that were abusing me that it was an edited picture, but they would not listen. Some people went as far as saying that they would arrest me because it is against the law, but I did not burn the money. It is not everything that you can explain to people; sometimes you just have to keep quiet” he said.

Space booked

Idiot wanted to trend so he did what he tot would make him trend

Artistic paper or not
Keep quite my friend

Do music and leave controversy alone

Let the money burn, the currency is worthless already. 10 years ago you can list few things you can buy with 5 naira (pure water, chewing stick, public toilet etc) now that 5 naira is of no value in Nigeria currency.

Did you know how many times I saw 5, 10 naira on the road and I walk past it ? That means our currency is worthless.

Hmmm

who cares! as far as it is his money

Of all the kind of picture you can edit in the world,
You rather chose to burn a currency!
That is what people are talking about, not if it burn all your face or beards.
Stop being silly Orezi......and now you want to be a liar!
See him trying to #saveface!
We still love your music sha!
Just stop being silly!

Hahahaha

Edited picture or not, it doesn't speak well...

So irrelevant.

He wanted to trend and he got it.

hypocrites. they won't burn 1k naira but will stake 100k on a bet 9ja game, carry olosho with 20k, spend thousands on drugs and alcohol
and when called out will answer "is it your money?" - while i don't approve of wasting money in any form, i still believe how we choose to "spend"
or "waste" our money is a choice to be made by us.

you owe no one this much explanation, orezi my man.

*playing shuperu by orezi* aaaye o pe meji, jeje mon she faaji, marope to reni oda, oluwa ni nshola....

Lairs association of Naija....

Whether artistic or not, it's disrespectful and not good

The projected impression that it is okay to burn the note, ropes him in. When the police picks him up, he should tell them it is artistic!

just a cover up,its not an artistic paper at all

Its a crime punishable by law to burn a country's currency.
