Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has shared a past experience where a failed business deal led to tension between him and his uncle.
Speaking during an interview, he revealed that he borrowed £40,000 from his uncle to start a business, but the venture eventually collapsed.
According to him, the situation later escalated when his uncle began demanding repayment and involved his parents.
“I remember one time I took money from my uncle to do business; business went south. And then he was chasing me for the money… I was so embarrassed that my dad had to pay,” he said.
He added that he was unhappy with how the matter was handled, especially the decision to involve his parents, which made the situation more embarrassing for him.
Mr Eazi also recalled confronting his uncle and his wife over the incident, expressing his frustration at the time.
“I told two of them that you people just f***ed up. You just lost an opportunity because I’m going to be a great guy and you’re not gonna be able to work with me,” he added.
The singer said the experience stayed with him, shaping his mindset about money, responsibility, and success in business.

“I was 19 in university when I borrowed £40,000 (₦19M) from my uncle… it failed and he started chasing me 😭💔
My dad stepped in and repaid him, but I told my uncle he messed up… because I’ll be great and he won’t be part of my story 😁”
