Patrick Doyle Slams Sophia Egbueje Over Lavish Lifestyle Amid Sex-for-Lambo Scandal
Veteran actor and media personality Patrick Doyle has taken a firm stance against socialite Sophia Egbueje, condemning her extravagant displays of wealth and what he described as her “shameful means of livelihood.”
Taking to Facebook on March 3, 2025, Doyle criticized Egbueje for flaunting her newly acquired Lamborghini worth ₦600 million and an extravagant wristwatch, with the combined value estimated between ₦650 million and ₦750 million.
“She boasted about the value of her wristwatch and flaunted a ₦600 million car. The combined value of both items is in the range of ₦650 to ₦750 million. Some half-wits were impressed and effusively congratulated her as she smiled and flaunted both items. As if we hadn’t heard about her shameful means of livelihood. Meanwhile, I can bet that there are members of her extended family who are going through a tough time. The romanticising of iniquity has become the stock in trade of dimwits amongst us,” Doyle wrote.
His remarks come in the wake of a growing controversy involving Egbueje and Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy. On February 27, 2025, leaked voice notes surfaced online, in which Egbueje claimed that her friend, Ama Reginald, and Burna Boy’s associate, Manny, had encouraged her to connect with the singer. She alleged that Burna Boy had promised her a Lamborghini truck but failed to fulfill his promise after they had been intimate.
According to the recordings, Egbueje expressed frustration over the unfulfilled deal, accusing Reginald of pushing her into the situation only to later be seen partying with Burna Boy and his rumored new girlfriend, American artist Chloe Bailey.
Burna Boy indirectly responded to the controversy on February 28, 2025, via his Instagram story. In a cryptic and playful message, he sang, “I no buy Lambo, is that why you’re shouting?” Meanwhile, Egbueje maintained that she purchased the luxury car herself and proudly showcased it online.
The scandal has fueled heated debates, with some condemning Egbueje for her expectations, while others criticized Burna Boy for allegedly misleading her. The controversy continues to unfold, drawing attention to the intersection of celebrity relationships, wealth, and social media culture.
