At Nigerian parties, the 90’s trend was to spray foreign currencies at parties. This was how men of the underworld flaunted their opulent lifestyles.
But by the 90’s, a lot of wealthy Nigerians - even ones with genuine sources of wealth - adopted this opulent lifestyle. They would appreciate the homage from these artists by spraying foreign currencies. Some of these wealthy individuals also became patrons and grand patrons to different entertainment and artistic endeavours.
