Controversial media personality Daddy Freeze said his business ventures collapsed entirely when he started attacking pastors.
In an interview on the Leadership podcast with Stephen Akintayo, Freeze recounted how his lucrative career as a master of ceremonies (MC) dried up.
He stated explained he once earned N1.5 million per event when the dollar was valued at N150, translating to roughly $10,000 every two months, or $60,000 annually from MC work alone.
However, after his controversial stance, bookings vanished, and he has not worked as an MC since 2019.
He recalled occasional gigs, but one notable instance saw organisers cancel after backlash from attendees upon seeing his name on promotional materials.
He said: “When I came after Nigerian pastors, I lost 100% of my business at the initial stage. It got so bad that after like two years, I used to MC because my rate were high, I used to charge N1.5m when dollar was N150. I used to get one in two in a months.
“A revenue of $10,000 every two months which is like $60, 000 a year from just one aspect, it went away. Till now I have not done MC since 2019. I had one or two gigs here and there but the one they agreed to pay, they paid me upfront then the flier came out and everybody said they were not going to attend.
” Because I hadn’t made money in a long time as they paid the money and spent it all. The guy called and I told him we have agreed, he said if it about the upfront, I can keep it”.
