The private life of Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has become a subject of public discourse after two of his mistresses took turns to reveal their intimate closeness to the business magnate.
On Friday, an American restauranteur identified as Bea Lewis, took to her Instagram handle to allege that the Nigerian industrialist dated her and broke her heart in ‘‘1000 pieces’’.
“I dated the richest black man in the world. He broke my heart into 1000 pieces. I learned more from him than any person I’ve ever met. Communicating with a billionaire daily makes you see the world differently,” she wrote.
Lewis runs Atlanta Meal Prep, which provides local cuisine, and promotes a healthy lifestyle through proper dieting while Hush Dinner Club, which she also owns, has hosted dinner events for over 1000 subscribers.
The post which appeared to be a reflection of the year 2020 went live at the stroke of midnight and has earned Lewis an addition of 13,000 followers and counting.
A few hours later, another American woman identified as Courtney took to her Instagram page to reveal that she also had something intimate with the Nigerian billionaire.
Using a handle, Allarounda1 on Instagram, the woman posted a video of herself and Mr. Dangote on a couch inside what appeared to be a luxury yacht. It was unclear in which country the yacht was sailing when the mistress shot the video, but it showed Mr. Dangote drap himself in an orange blanket while fiddling with his mobile phone amidst clearly exposed buttocks.
Courtney also posted pictures of Mr. Dangote alighting from a luxury plane in a private hanger, describing herself repeatedly as a ‘ForbesListSugarBabe’ in an apparent reference to her lover’s status amongst an elite list of world’s billionaires.
However, she deleted the posts around 10:00 p.m. after getting flooding requests from bloggers who desperately wanted her to comment further on her affairs with Mr. Dangote.
Courtney who rejected claims that she took her affairs with Mr. Dangote to social media to chase undue fame, said she was trying to clean Mr. Dangote’s name from the mess earlier created by Bea Lewis.
It is worthwhile to note that Mr. Dangote’s lifestyle has been largely kept from the public until now. Little was known about him beyond his marriage and divorce in the past. Mr. Dangote’s media aides have yet to comment on the scandalous affairs that seemed to be pointing at the billionaire’s steep appetite for glowing American women.
