Former BBNaija star Mercy Eke has unveiled her Lamborghini on social media just as drama unfolds between music star Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje over an alleged promise to buy the luxury car.
The reality TV star shared a video on Instagram showcasing the new vehicle, adorned with balloons, as she expressed excitement and pride.
On Thursday, Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, trended across social media platforms after a leaked phone call revealed that Sophia claimed the Grammy-winning singer had assured her he would cover the cost of a Lamborghini she wanted.
As social media buzzed with reactions, Mercy, fondly called “Lambo” by fans, took to Instagram to reveal her own Lamborghini.
The clip showed Mercy wearing a black dress while standing in front of the orange Lamborghini and carrying a bouquet wrapped in matching orange paper. White and black balloons also surrounded the car.

Eke’s caption read: “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.”
The post garnered a flood of congratulatory messages from fans and industry professionals alike, with many taking to the comments section to congratulate the reality TV star on her latest acquisition.
Interestingly, Mercy and Sophia were once very close, frequently stepping out together at major social events and sharing their luxurious outings online. However, their friendship took a downturn in late 2024, leading to a visible fallout.
Now, with Mercy unveiling her Lamborghini at the height of Sophia’s controversy with Burna Boy, fans can’t help but draw connections. Coincidence or a subtle message? Either way, Mercy Eke knows how to stay in the spotlight.
