A viral video has captured the moment a man sprayed veteran Nigerian musician, 9ice, with ₦5 notes during a live performance — an incident that has stirred mixed reactions across social media.
The short clip, which surfaced over the weekend, shows the man gleefully tossing the small-denomination notes at the singer while the crowd looked on, reacting with a blend of laughter and disbelief.
The event reportedly took place at a local gathering where 9ice was performing one of his hit songs. While some guests and online users found the gesture humorous, others criticized it as “disrespectful” toward a music legend who has made significant contributions to Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
One viewer commented, “Na insult?” while another quipped, “₦5 notes still dey?” Critics argued that such an act demeaned the artist, whereas others defended the man, suggesting he was simply giving within his means.
A commenter wrote, “Na wetin him get, him spray,” while another added jokingly, “He go later press money; make him enjoy small cruise first.”
The video has reignited discussions around Nigeria’s long-standing culture of money spraying — a practice traditionally seen as a sign of appreciation during celebrations. However, the debate continues over whether spraying with low denominations should be considered disrespectful or simply a reflection of individual capacity.
As the clip continues to circulate online, opinions remain sharply divided between those who view it as playful entertainment and those who see it as a slight against one of Nigeria’s celebrated music icons.
