Kiddwaya, a former reality TV star and the son of Nigerian wealthy businessman Terry Waya, has created controversy after revealing his “occupation.”

In a recent episode of the Off The Record podcast, the former BBNaija star revealed that his occupation is to live and enjoy his father’s fortune.

He stated that he is not interested in work or business, emphasising that he is a man of leisure.

“What I do for a living is that I wake up, I decide what destination I want to fly to, I go that destination, I’m with my boys and girls and have fun; we drink, eat, and party. And we repeat,” he said.

“I’m a man of leisure. My view on life is live it to the fullest. I’m not interested in working.

“I can tell you I am into oil and trade but that is not my truth. It was my truth before, trying to figure out how to tell the world what I do.

“The world is not trying to hear that. So, I’m giving them my truth and also the truth they want to hear, which is I am a rich man’s son and I’m living my life January to January. I’m having fun.”

Kiddwaya stated that marriage will not stop him from “living for a living” and having fun.

He mentioned that he wants to marry a woman who enjoys having fun. He did, however, state that he “works hard” to protect his integrity and his family’s reputation by avoiding problems.

He contended that many people would have abused their privileges if they were in his position.
