Grammy award-winning Nigerian musician, Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid, threw his expensive ring while attempting to fling his jacket into the audience at his sold-out event at Tottenham Stadium in London, UK, on Saturday night.

Adesope Olajide, a prominent British-Nigerian podcaster, revealed this during an Instagram live session.

The ring is valued around £100,000 (approximately N85 million).

The podcaster expressed regret for leaving the front row when the ring fell, pointing out that he had previously caught Zlatan Ibile and Diamond Platnumz’s rings at concerts.

“Why did I leave that front row at Wizkid’s show when that ring was about to fall? Ah! I have caught Zlatan and Diamond Platnumz’s rings before”. He said.

“These are thousands of pounds and dollars… obviously, the Wiz ring, that would have been the one… I’m honest… I could sell it for like £100k”.

Present at the concert were celebrities like, Osas Ighodaro, Paul Okoye, and Lilian Afegbai.

The singer made history as the first African artiste to sell out the 80,000-Capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The concert was attended by football stars, Bukayo Saka, Alex Iwobi, and Eddie Nketiah.
