Mercy Eke Flaunts New Lamborghini as Burna Boy’s Alleged “Broken Promise”
Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner Mercy Eke has again captured the spotlight by unveiling her latest luxury acquisition—a stunning bright orange Lamborghini Huracán.

“LAMBO in a LAMBO I know y’all saw this one coming, it was always a matter of when. My Newest pet is finally here.”
However, her announcement has sparked widespread talk—not just about the car itself but also about its uncanny timing amid the ongoing drama involving Sophia Egbueje, Ama Reginald, and Burna Boy. Just hours before Eke’s big reveal, leaked voice notes from Sophia Egbueje surfaced, alleging that Burna Boy failed to deliver on his promise of a Tesla Cybertruck, which later got mixed up with a Lamborghini in the retelling. The coincidence has fueled speculation online, with many believing Mercy strategically stole the spotlight.

“Mercy dropping this now is peak queen energy—she’s stealing the show while everyone’s distracted,” a fan posted on social media. Others took jabs at the Burna Boy controversy, with one user commenting: “Mercy’s Lambo is the real deal, not some empty promise Burna couldn’t keep.”
At 34 years old, Mercy Eke has fully embraced her ‘Lambo’ persona, a nod to her extravagant taste and relentless ambition. Her journey from humble beginnings—born to a carpenter father and trader mother—to becoming one of Nigeria’s most successful reality TV stars continues to inspire.
Amid Nigeria’s economic challenges, including 34.2% inflation as of January 2025, her ability to secure a ₦550 million ($1.2 million (USD)) Lamborghini is being hailed as a testament to her grind.
“From video vixen to Lambo owner, Mercy’s story is proof that hard work pays!” a fan gushed.
The Huracán, customized with a ‘M LAMBO’ license plate, now joins her already impressive fleet, which includes a Range Rover Velar and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
Supporters praised her comments section, calling her the “Queen of Highlights”, while others speculated about the dramatic timing. Some social media users even drew parallels between her reveal and the Burna Boy saga, with one writing:
“People wondering if Mercy went through what Sophie did to get that Lambo—timing too perfect.”
Eke, however, has remained silent on the controversy, letting her luxury supercar do all the talking.
