I’m richer after leaving my ex-wife –Zaki Azzay
Torch-carrying singer, Zaki Azzay is not doing badly at the moment. Apart from getting a wonder on wheels recently, thus joining the league of G-Wagon owners, the singer has also completed his estate in Makurdi, Benue State.
Speaking to Saturday Beats concerning his good fortunes, Zaki said things have become rosier especially since he left his ex-wife.
“It is very true that since I left my ex-wife, things have been better for me. I know for certain that it is true and it has a spiritual connotation. I don’t know why but it is left for God. All I know is that I was married to a woman who I loved so much and I thought she loved me the same way. But unfortunately, I discovered otherwise. I cannot say all the things she did to the press because of my children. I don’t want to go into details but it is God’s will. Nobody can prosper in life without God’s grace,” he said.
But as much as good things are happening in his life at the moment, not just a few wondered how the singer made his money given the fact that he is not one of the A-list musicians who always laugh all the way to the bank.
But Zaki found it funny that Nigerians would query the source of his wealth, claiming that he became a millionaire as a teenager.
He said, “Album sales do not fetch artistes money. Nigerians could be very surprising at times. I was already a millionaire at the age of 18. I have been in the entertainment industry for over two decades; I have many hit songs and have performed in shows all over the world. I am a Glo ambassador and you know how many millions that is worth. I have had performances for Bill Clinton and George Bush. I have achieved so much and yet I buy a G-Wagon of about N30m and people are asking questions. Am I not supposed to have bought about 20 G-Wagons years ago?
“If the artiste is not successful in his career, you complain but would you say that I have not made hits in Nigeria? I have several laurels under my belt. What if I have invested my money somewhere and it is yielding returns? I don’t have to explain how I spend my money to anybody. I have always been a low key person and so I don’t like announcing things like this. Why do people think they call me the last man standing? All my mates have virtually fallen; I am the only artiste from my time that is still here. I have one Benue International Festival that I do annually and this year’s own is gearing up. Have you forgotten how many millions I made in the last One Benue International Festival launch? I don’t understand people sometimes.”
He added that he was glad that he was able to acquire the car which he said had always been part of his bucket list.
“I have always been in love with a G-Wagon and I have been praying to God that I should be able to afford one before I die. Last week, I was able to afford one, a 2013 model. I was actually building an estate on a street that is named after me somewhere in Makurdi. I eventually finished building it and moved into one of the flats recently. I am not relocating to Makurdi, I built the estate for commercial purposes. In fact, I am building another one in Lekki where the street is also named after me, Zaki Azzay Close,” he said.
