I get paid for being in a relationship – Mercy Eke

A former Big Brother Naija winner, Mercy Eke has revealed her boyfriend pays her monthly allowance to keep her in the relationship.

Speaking in a recent interview, she said, “My guy [partner] pays me an allowance. But it’s not that I mandated him to do that. I have about six domestic workers. So the allowance is just to assist me to pay my staff.

“I didn’t tell him to pay my staff’s salaries. He’s doing it on his own to reduce my responsibilities. Because of that, I always want to do things for him too.”

Mercy Eke has been hiding her current partner from the public.

Her last publicly known relationship was with fellow reality star, Ike Onyeama.

Last year, she sparked relationship rumours with another reality star, Pere Egbi, but they both debunked the news.
