GBENGA Adeyinka 1st, one of Nigeria’s leading comedians and MC, has threatened to institute a legal suit against singer Tobechukwu ‘Peruzzi’ Okoh over his absence at the June 12 edition of Laffmattazz with Gbenga Adeyinka and friends.

Adeyinka, The Nation gathered, had instructed his lawyers to write Peruzzi after he failed to show up and perform at the event that was held in Akure on June 12, 2022.

The papers filed by Adeyinka’s lawyers implied that Peruzzi failed to show up and perform after the comedian had paid the sum of N2.5 million for his services.

It was also gathered that Adeyinka had incurred an extra N1.5million that covered the flight ticket, rooms, and transportation to and from the airport for Peruzzi.

In an attempt to get his response, Adeyinka refused to comment on the matter saying it is a legal matter and won’t want to distort the process.

However, sources maintained that the comedian was forced to instruct his lawyers to write Peruzzi so as to prove to his teeming fans and show attendees that he truly contracted the services of the DMW signee and save his reputation.

Peruzzi and his management refused to respond to calls and messages seeking to get his response on the matter.

Earlier in the week, The Nation had reported that Peruzzi was served a legal notice by Udomah Daniel Idoteyin over his failure to perform at a wedding ceremony in Uyo, Akwa Ibom after being fully paid.

Idoteyin took legal steps to seek redress and get back the sum of N3.670m performance fees from Peruzzi, who failed to show up or perform at his wedding after paying his fees.

Idoteyin called out Peruzzi for failing to refund the sum of Three Million, Six Hundred, and Seventy Thousand Naira he allegedly obtained.

I’m not ashamed doing menial jobs in US but — Doris Simeon

Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon, has said that she was not ashamed doing menial jobs in the United States of America, because she needed to pay her bills.

Speaking in an interview with her colleague, Kunle Afod, Simeon said, “This (US) is where my child is with his father, and that is one of the reasons I decided to stay back here. I have been here since 2018, and I really miss home (Nigeria). What I miss most about Nigeria are those street foods, such as roasted yam and corn. I also miss my friends and family.

“It was not easy starting all over, because in this place, only the tough will last. If one is lazy, one will be hungry. People who have been here for 20 to 50 years don’t find it easy, because with the kind of system they have, one cannot avoid paying bills. If one does not work, one won’t eat, and one won’t be able to pay bills.”

Simeon also stated that she still got a lot of admirers. She said, “A lot of men still send me messages on social media to ask about my relationship status. Those who know me know I don’t like to make a noise about my private life. The fact that I don’t post online does not mean I don’t have a man in my life. I have a man in my life, but I don’t reject gifts.”

Recounting some of the menial jobs she had done in the US, she said, “I have lost count of the number of jobs I have done here. I once worked as a delivery person, and even met people who recognised me, but what could I do? After all, they won’t pay my bills. I worked as a personal shopper as well, and hairdressing is something I still. Currently, I work for the government as a social worker.”
