Blogger Shakira Accuses Yomi Gold of Unpaid $10,000 Debt
Nigerian actor Yomi Gold has been publicly called out by a blogger identified as Shakira over an alleged $10,000 debt that has reportedly remained unpaid since 2023. In a post on Instagram on Monday, 21 July 2026, Shakira claimed that despite persistent follow-ups over three years, the actor has only repaid $1,500, leaving a significant balance outstanding.
Shakira referred to the actor with the nickname "Mr. Goat" and described the process of recovering the money as involving "endless begging" and sleepless nights, while the actor continued to project a luxury lifestyle on social media. She stated that her patience had run out and issued a final warning: if the remaining balance is not settled immediately, she will release full details, including chat logs and unedited receipts, on her platform.
Shakira's Final Warning
"Pay what you owe before the internet does the auditing for you," Shakira wrote in her post. The blogger made it clear that she would not hold back any longer, describing the post as a "final wake-up call" for the actor. The allegation quickly drew attention online, with many users commenting on the contrast between the actor's public image and the claims being made.
Public Reactions
Social media users weighed in on the allegation. @thestorystellers commented: "Nah alarobo the guy they do for the farm." @joyceemiko9 wrote: "Buy why hold unto someones money for that long, and keep faking a lifestyle on social media? Yomi Gold, please do the needful, before Shakira go drap your kpata." The post sparked widespread discussion about the actor's conduct and the credibility of the claims.
Background: Yomi Gold's Previous Controversies
This is not the first time Yomi Gold has been in the public eye for personal matters. In 2023, Legit.ng reported that the actor announced the end of his second marriage with Meenah. In a lengthy post, Yomi said it was a joint decision and stressed that there was no longer love in their relationship. He described himself as not being perfect and said his now-ex-wife deserves someone better than him. The current debt allegation adds to the scrutiny surrounding the actor's personal life.
