Popular Fuji musician Taye Currency has come forward with a heartbreaking revelation, sharing how he lost N10 million in what he now believes was a fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme.
Speaking emotionally during a live performance, the veteran singer detailed how he fell victim to Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), a platform he now suspects operated as a Ponzi scheme.
According to him, the decision to invest stemmed from the encouragement of close friends and associates, who presented the opportunity as a highly profitable venture.
Taye Currency explained that some of his band members, particularly one named Lateef, shared seemingly successful experiences with the platform.
Lateef allegedly turned a modest investment of ₦200,000 into ₦600,000, a result that convinced the singer to take the leap.
Encouraged by these glowing testimonials, he decided to invest ₦10 million—money he had diligently saved through an insurance company over time.
However, the outcome was far from what he expected. Not long after making the investment, the platform ceased all communications and the funds disappeared without a trace.
The singer expressed his anguish, saying the loss had caused him deep emotional and financial pain.
Clearly distraught, Taye Currency did not hold back in expressing his disappointment and anger toward those who introduced him to the scheme.
He issued a stern warning, suggesting that those responsible would face serious consequences for their role in the ordeal.
The incident has sparked conversations among fans and the general public about the growing number of online scams disguised as investment opportunities.
Taye Currency’s experience serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the need for thorough research and skepticism when dealing with financial platforms that promise unusually high returns.
