Nigerian singer and songwriter Abolore Adegbola Akande, popularly known as 9ice, made waves across social media platforms in the country over a viral clip of him picking up dollars at an event.
According to the reports, the video from Lagos’ Rewind Flashback Concert on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, captured the moment 9ice paused his set to gather dollar bills that were sprayed on him by fans mid performance.
Unlike some celebrities who have aides to help them pick up money sprayed on them at events, the singer, who chose to do it himself, sparked mixed reactions with his display.
