Singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has shared how he lost ₦19 million in a failed diesel venture as a teenager.

At just 19, he raised the funds from his uncle and a friend’s father to supply diesel to MTN. However, deregulation of fuel prices crashed their deal, forcing them to sell at a huge loss.

Eazi admitted it was a painful experience but said the setback taught him valuable lessons that shaped his entrepreneurial journey and eventual rise as a global music and business brand.

BhadJayy added: “19Million at 19 lol.”

Araboriota reacted : “At 19 most people are still asking parents for pocket money. Even though the business failed, the experience Mr. Eazi gained was worth more than the #19m. No wonder he built himself into a global brand later.”
