Enugu, Nigeria – June 2025
Nigerian influencer and content creator Asherkine has set social media ablaze after unveiling the most extravagant episode in his series of viral interviews and shopping sprees. This time, he didn’t just take a lady on a date he gave her a taste of a lifestyle that many online observers say she may never be able to maintain on her own.
The story begins at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Enugu, where Asherkine met Becky, a student who had just finished her exams. Known for approaching random women and gifting them lavish experiences “just because,” Asherkine asked her the now-famous questions:
“Do you have a man?”
“Have you ever been in a relationship?”
As usual, Becky confidently claimed she was single and had never dated. But unlike previous encounters, this interaction escalated into a viral sensation that has since dominated headlines across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.
₦5 Million Spree: From Enugu to Lagos
Immediately after the interview, Asherkine began what many have called an instant honeymoon, sparing no expense to shower Becky with luxury.
Grocery Shopping in Enugu: ₦469,980
Flight to Lagos: Private arrangements (undisclosed cost)
Luxury Hotel Stay & Spa Treatment: High-end locations in Lagos
Second Shopping Trip: ₦349,800
Jewelry Shopping: Price undisclosed “for public sanity,” but witnesses say she left with diamonds and moissanite pieces that glistened like ice
Hair Shopping: A premium wig worth ₦1.25 million
Additional Shopping: ₦378,000
Boat Cruise on the Lagos Lagoon: Included ₦150,000 cash, a brand new Apple AirPods, and a factory-sealed iPhone 16 estimated at ₦1.6 million
In total, the expenses peaked at over ₦4.1 million, excluding the cost of her jewelry. Combined with travel and lodging, observers estimate the entire experience easily surpassed ₦5 million.
Ice Princess of UNN
In the video circulating online, Becky was seen with what many have called a “Sub Zero Ice” collection:
Ice on her neck
Ice on her ears
Ice on her fingers
Ice on her wrist
The hashtags #IcePrincess and #AsherkineEffect have been trending ever since.
Emotional Goodbye and Viral Speculation
Despite her emotional reaction—she was seen crying uncontrollably as she received the gifts—many say Becky left the experience “mildly happy,” already aware that this kind of fairytale has an expiration date. As she walked away, Twitter users claimed she was heading back to her real boyfriend—allegedly a man named Ken.
Screenshots of Ken’s Snapchat meltdown have also gone viral. In a series of frustrated posts, he expressed disbelief that Becky would deny their relationship on camera simply for a shopping spree. According to Ken’s own words, they had been dating for months before she declared herself single for Asherkine’s video.
Social Media Reactions: Is She Really Single?
While some viewers defended Becky’s right to keep her private life private, most comments called out what they see as an all-too-familiar pattern. From the original UNN interview where she claimed never to have dated, to the ₦5 million honeymoon and eventual tearful goodbye, the storyline has fed an avalanche of memes and debates about authenticity, clout chasing, and the lengths people will go for social media fame.
Some of the most viral comments include:
“She denied Ken for an iPhone 16 and a wig. The streets are cold.”
“Asherkine is introducing these girls to lifestyles they can’t maintain.”
“It’s all cruise, but it hits different when your girl is the trending topic.”
“Men, secure your babes before Asherkine comes to your city.”
Is It All Just Content?
Despite the controversy, Asherkine himself has remained calm. He has said repeatedly that he isn’t trying to date any of the women he interviews and gifts. For him, it’s simply content creation—and he makes it clear that whether they are single, taken, or somewhere in between, it doesn’t change anything. He will still take them shopping and move on to the next story.
But if one lesson has emerged from this saga, it’s that in Nigeria’s fast-moving social media landscape, nothing stays hidden forever—especially if you skip the comment section.
