List of ‘fabulous rides’ acquired by Nigerian artistes in 2012 and the cost

Almost every week, a Nigerian musician brandishes photographs of his or her new car on Facebook or Twitter. In these photos, the star is seen posing next to a new big ride, probabbly a Range Rover Jeep (the most popular choice for now) OMG Nigeria compiled the list of the fabulous rides and the cost. View list after cut.
since January 2012, over 10 artistes have splurged millions of Naira on choice cars alone, not to talk of landed property.
For instance, while the news of a newly acquired Rolls Royce allegedly worth an outrageous $500000 – approximately N80m – purchased by J Martins was still sinking in, it was announced that Trybe Records boss, eLDee, had purchased a Cadillac escalade Limousine car worth over N16 million for all his artistes.

The year kicked off on a great note as D’banj bought his younger brother Kay Switch a Mercedes CLS 350 2007 model said to be worth N10m in January. A month later, Wa Gba Control crooner, W4 , brandished his N4m Chrysler 300 car shortly before his hit song became a national anthem of sort.
Since then the likes of Davido, J Martins, Pasuma, Omawunmi, Waje and Bracket have added a 2012 Audi Q7 Car, Rolls Royce Phantom, Mercedes Benz 450GL, Honda CRV SUV and two Range Rover SUVs respectively to their fleets.
