Former Big Brother Naija reality star, Kiddwaya, has made a surprising call to Nigerian billionaires, asking them to team up and purchase TikTok. This comes amidst the app’s potential ban in the United States.
Kiddwaya took to social media to pose the question, “What about all the billionaires in Nigeria? Can we come together and buy TikTok, or is it only for white people?” His post has sparked a mix of reactions, with some users praising his entrepreneurial spirit and others questioning his billionaire status.
The call to action is timely, as TikTok’s fate in the US hangs in the balance. In April 2024, President Joe Biden enacted a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to either sell the platform or shut it down within a month. The deadline is set for January 19, and the US Supreme Court is yet to decide on the appeal filed by TikTok.
While some have expressed interest in buying TikTok, including Meek Mill and Mr. Beast, Kiddwaya’s call to Nigerian billionaires adds a new twist to the saga. Will they answer the call and join forces to purchase the popular social media app? Only time will tell.
