Nedu made the remark during a conversation with content creator Ludahydrate, describing the Sugar Mummy industry as one of the biggest "industries" in the country.
"The Sugar Mummy industry is one of the biggest industries in Nigeria. The headquarters, as far as I am concerned, is here in Abuja," Nedu said.
Backing the claim, Ludahydrate argued that the trend is common in Abuja because of the presence of wealthy Northern politicians and political appointees, many of whom, he alleged, have multiple wives.
According to him, when some of these marriages end in divorce, the women often receive valuable assets as settlements, making them financially independent.
"Why it's a lot in Abuja is because Northern men are here and they have more wives.
"You will see one minister wey get like nine wives. Inside that nine, e fit just divorce three. When he divorce that three, maybe e fit just give one an estate and give another one a supermarket as settlement.
"Imagine a woman wey get a supermarket and maybe she get another water company. She has kids but doesn't have any man in her life.
"That kind of woman might not want to get married again. She will prefer to just have a Sugar Boy."
The comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with many debating the accuracy of the claims and the stereotypes surrounding relationships involving older wealthy women and younger men.
