This information is not correct though there are multiple sources and news outlets in Nigeria publishing it including The Punch and Vanguard.

Zagadat Capital was founded in 2021 by Mr. Eazi while Vydia was founded in 2013 by Roy LaManna and Mark Allen who are the CEO and VP Engineering respectively of the company. Zagadat could not have been and is not one of the investors in Vydia.

However I think Mr. Eazi is one of the early adopters and promoters of the Vydia platform in Nigeria for his music portfolio and that seems to be where the misconception came from. You will see that this news is only carried by Nigerian media and other African media outlets that took the news from the Nigerian media. No American or major foreign media carried the news that Mr. Eazi is involved with Vydia.

This here is one of the reasons many of the rich women or the so called independent women can't find a husband.

Aside that they think having money makes up for all their flaws[I am rich, what else?] being called a gold digger is another reason men avoid them. Someone was asking why Linda Ikeji no see man marry and I told her that the problem is her family and friends not Linda alone. Every one of them will think you are with her because of her money and that brings disrespect.


Please how exactly is Mr Eazi a gold digger?

So behaving and coordinating well and avoiding scandal like plague while dating the daughter of a rich man makes a man a gold digger even when the man is doing very well financially?

What makes you think he's richer than Temi? He's not even an inch close. See how he has behaved well all these while he's been with her, what do you think is keeping him in check?
