Afrobeats superstar Davido’s hype man, Edward Chukwuma Ijah, famously known as Special Spesh, has entered the heated conversation surrounding businesswoman Sophia Momodu and her alleged new mansion.

The drama kicked off on Friday, September 20, when Momodu took to Snapchat, giving fans an exclusive look inside what she hinted was her newly purchased luxury home.

The video showcased a grand tour of the property, featuring a sweeping staircase and several spacious, empty rooms, leaving her followers buzzing about her latest big move.

Social media erupted with praise, with many applauding her “soft life” and wondering how she pulled off such a major acquisition.

But just when the excitement was reaching a fever pitch, the real estate company allegedly tied to the house dropped a bombshell—Momodu wasn’t the owner, and the property didn’t belong to her.

In their statement, the company clarified, “It’s the effrontery and the guts to lie with so much confidence.”
