Social media fans were both shocked and amused when Nigerian singer and billionaire heiress Tolani Otedola posted a video of herself receiving and tasting a very expensive Crown Melon from Japan. This fruit is so rare and opulent that it costs more than some Nigerians’ monthly income.
Juicy and elegantly packed, the gift is valued at £150 (about ₦280,000) and is one of the most prized fruits in Japan. In Japanese culture, crown melons are a sign of celebration and prestige since they are hand-grown with care and treated like newborns.

She stated: “This melon was 150 pounds. This was a present that I received. If you know me, you know that the way to this girl’s heart is through her stomach. Especially fruit… strange and crazy fruit.”
As the video went on, Femi Otedola’s daughter cautiously cut open the fruit, listening to the sound of the fresh juice as it poured out. She took the first bite, and her face spoke it all.
“Oh my God. This is the juiciest, most incredible thing I’ve ever eaten. Now, I don’t know if it’s worth 150 pounds, but it’s so good.”
She then gave her followers a bit of a laugh when she added: “This is why I don’t go on dates, because this is how I eat.”
