Big Brother Naija 2020 housemate, Kidd Waya, son to Nigerian billionaire Terry Ways, seems to cause a lot of hot topic discussion anytime he makes a social commentary via his platforms on social media, sat down with BBC Pidgin to talk about life, work, fame and money.

Kidd Waya who made a tweet on 12 December 2020 saying: “The difference between you and I is hardwork. The rest is just excuses.” Fans and users of the app took it personally and attacked him and tagged him ‘proud’ and ‘inconsiderate’ for putting out such words especially during this pandemic and generalised he makes such comment due to his wealthy upbringing.

Kidd Waya speaking with BBC said regarding the tweet that it was “misinterpretated” and what he actually meant was that “hardwork gets you far. It’s simply for motivational purposes.”

Talking on Nigerians generalising kids from wealthy background, he goes on to say: “I feel like in this country, a son or daughter from a wealthy background cannot have an opinion, cannot talk . . . cannot think, they’re not allowed to do anything.” Speaking further on his stance regarding the tweet and how he is viewed as being proud, he says: “I’m not one to brag or to demeanour anybody, I was simply giving an advise and people took it the wrong way.”

On what it is like being a billionaire son, he reveals: “To be a billionaire son is not easy, me myself, I’m not billionaire. I try not to look at the title, the tag ‘billionaire’. I try to focus on myself as that is my dad’s life, that is his hard earned money. I’m still trying to hustle for myself.”

Regarding Nigerians misconceptions about his work ethic, he told BBC: “What I face on a regular, people don’t believe I work hard, because they believe “it’s your dad’s cash, your dad gave it to you.” They have this misconception that everyone from a wealthy background gets things handed to them easily and to be fair, that’s not the case.” Telling he knows a lot of people in the industry from wealthy background who work just as hard as their fellow colleagues.
