Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold, also known as AG Baby, has issued a stern warning to Wema Bank after it allegedly hijacked his viral first-class giveaway idea for its marketing campaign.

The Afrobeats star, who unveiled his new mansion, had previously launched an online giveaway for Nigerians who graduated with first-class degrees, rewarding them with cash gifts as a token of appreciation for their hard work.

The gesture gained massive traction online, earning the singer accolades for celebrating academic excellence.

However, things took a different turn when a recent ad surfaced from Wema Bank’s digital platform, ALAT, appearing to ride on the same trend the singer started.

In the ad, the bank teased: “AG Baby no send you first class gift? No worries, ALAT’s got you covered. Enjoy up to 70% off your favorite brands this weekend via eVouchers on the ALAT app – it’s no crime to not have a first-class degree.” AG Baby wasn’t having it.

Taking to social media, the singer expressed his displeasure, questioning when the bank started using his idea and hinting at legal repercussions.

He wrote: “Dear @wemabank @alat_ng, when did this start? You’ll be hearing from my people.”
