The former reality TV, during the interview, disclosed that the Oyinbos at the exhibition were all drooling to have a piece of his art.

Reality star and artist, Adeoluwa Okusaga aka Saga has bragged that he cares less about the ongoing All-Star show because he's making good money from his art.

According to him, he is super-grateful he wasn't invited by Biggie for the BBNaija All-Star show.

In an Instagram post, Saga revealed that he was one of the few Nigerian artists invited by the Nigerian Contemporary Art Exhibition 2023 to represent the country in Malta.

He explained that he had gotten an invite after sending his works ahead of time for the exhibition, but wasn't sure about going.

"To be sincere, I didn't know it would turn out this well. I was sure when I was going. Even while in the place, I contemplated returning back to Nigeria. But I am super glad I was there and could put my face to the art. The best part of it all was that I sold out all of my pieces. Like completely I don't have anything to exhibit again as I speak."

When we asked Saga If maybe because he wouldn't be on the BBNaija All-Star show, that's why he went to Malta. He said:

"Even before I left the country, I knew I wasn't going to be on the show because I already knew everyone that would be on the show. So when I didn't get the invite, I really didn't mind. However, that wasn't the reason why I went to Malta because the exhibition was already on before the show started. I just really need to put my face out there. And it was my international debut so why would I want to miss that?"

He revealed further that Oyinbos at the exhibition were all drooling to have a piece of his art. He added that he sold one of his works for a whopping N3.5m.

"Bro, I am sold out. I need to get back to work ASAP because at the moment I have nothing to exhibit. One of my works was acquired for 4000 Euros. Though, I wasn't supposed to say that, But yeah."
