Lagos was ablaze with glitz and glamour on Saturday, May 10, 2025, as the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) lit up Eko Hotel and Suites. Nollywood’s finest strutted the red carpet, dripping in sequins, gele, and audacity. But one man, Mike Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, aka Pretty Mike crashed the party like a meteor, clad in a jaw-dropping, metallic exosuit straight out of a Marvel blockbuster. Dubbed “Andromeda in exosuit” by the nightlife king himself, this futuristic getup had everyone talking. Was it a fashion triumph or a publicity stunt gone wrong? Buckle up, because this gossip is hotter than a Lagos pepper stew!
Pretty Mike is no stranger to stealing the spotlight. This is the guy who once rolled into a wedding with ladies on leashes, “cooked” a human at Warri Pikin’s wedding, and showed up to Obi Cubana’s 50th birthday bash with a posse of “accident victims.” So, when he sauntered onto the AMVCA red carpet looking like Iron Man’s Lagos cousin, jaws hit the floor. The silver-toned, robotic ensemble hugged his frame like a second skin, complete with sculpted armor and a sci-fi swagger that screamed, “I’m here to dominate.” He captioned his Instagram post, “What’s fashion without the audacity?” Oh, Pretty Mike, you’ve got audacity in spades!
Pretty Mike admitting he couldn't pee in the suit
But here’s where the plot thickens and gets deliciously messy. In a viral video that’s got X users cackling, Pretty Mike admitted to a rather human struggle: he couldn’t pee in the darn suit! “We no plan the part wey I fit pee,” he lamented, sparking a tsunami of memes and roasts. @priscimedia quipped, “Guess those superpowers didn’t include super bladder control!” Another user, @Fareeida, didn’t hold back, tweeting, “Pretty Mike looked like a complicated car engine 😭.” Even @Ijawphilosopher got in on the fun, asking, “Why did Pretty Mike dress as Robocop at #amvca2025?” The internet was eating it up, and we’re here for every spicy bite.
The exosuit, rumored to cost between five to seven million naira (yes, you read that right), wasn’t just a fashion statement, it was a calculated move. Pretty Mike’s been open about his game plan: “My goal is to catch people’s attention and stand out.” Mission accomplished, sir! While stars like Liquorose dazzled in beaded royalty and Adedimeji Lateef shimmered in a silver suit, Pretty Mike’s robotic flex was the talk of the night. But was it a slay or a slay-tastrophe? X users were divided. @instablog9ja’s poll “Hit or miss?” had fans duking it out, while @bzingers brutally listed him among the “Top 20 worst dressed,” alongside White Money. Ouch!
Let’s zoom out for a sec. The AMVCA 2025 red carpet was a circus of extravagance, with Mercy Aigbe’s golden gele screaming Yoruba royalty and Desmond Elliot’s elephant-emblazoned gown raising eyebrows (and Cinderella jokes). Pretty Mike’s exosuit, though, wasn’t just about shock value. Some fans speculated the “Andromeda” name, a nod to a galaxy far, far away, was a shade at Nollywood’s obsession with image over substance. Others wondered if he’s hinting at a sci-fi project. With Pretty Mike, you never know what’s up his metallic sleeve.
The gossip doesn’t stop at the outfit. Pretty Mike’s history of wild antics like claiming Magodo is the “headquarter for married women sleeping with young boys” paints him as Nollywood’s resident provocateur. His AMVCA stunt has tongues wagging about whether he’s a genius or just thirsty for clout. One thing’s certain: he’s got us hooked. As @Authenticvoice6 gushed, “Pretty Mike shows off thier stunning outfit to AMVCA2025 🤯🎉.” Love him or hate him, you can’t look away.
So, what’s the verdict? Pretty Mike’s exosuit was bold, bizarre, and undeniably iconic. But the real scandal? That bathroom blunder might just be the most relatable thing he’s ever done. Will he top this at the next event? Knowing Pretty Mike, he’s probably plotting something even wilder. Stay tuned Nigeria, this gossip train’s just getting started!
