Jesse Jagz Calls for Action Against Celebrity Gambling Promotion

Jesse Jagz, a prominent Nigerian singer and rapper, publicly condemned the promotion of gambling by celebrities, stating that such individuals should be "stoned." He expressed his strong disapproval of endorsing betting brands through a post on his X handle. Jagz's remarks come in light of the fact that around 60 million Nigerians aged 18 to 40 are actively involved in sports betting and gambling, making it one of the largest markets in Africa.

His comments reflect a growing concern over the influence of celebrity endorsements on gambling practices in Nigeria, particularly among the youth demographic.
