Reality TV star, Kiddwaya, has shown interest in acquiring the TikTok app alongside other billionaires in Nigeria. His comment followed a post by Mr Beast, the billionaire YouTuber, who shared that he had been approached by several billionaires eager to help him purchase TikTok.
In his social media post, Kiddwaya raised questions about the tendency of Western billionaires to purchase major tech apps like TikTok, pointing out that his fellow billionaires in Nigeria should be able to join forces to buy the app as well. He wrote, “What about all the billionaires in Nigeria? Can we come together and buy TikTok, or is it only for white people?”
This remark has sparked significant reactions from social media users, many of whom have offered their opinions on Kiddwaya’s statement. Some commenters humorously questioned Kiddwaya's claim to billionaire status, while others expressed disbelief that he was serious about buying TikTok.
