The actress shared a video on her Instagram page showing the moment her new whip arrived at her home. Destiny, who was using crutches, couldn't contain her enthusiasm on seeing her new car.
Celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut estimated the car's worth to be around ₦350,000,000.
Reacting to the viral news, Verydarkman argued that most Nollywood actors lie about the car they acquire to pressure the internet.
He pointed out that since they wanted to pressure the public, the public would do so in return. He also suggested that if celebrities want to impress social media, they should be transparent about the car's manufacturing year.
VDM who recently exposed media personality Nedu claimed that many of these stars often buy older models and have them upgraded to give the illusion of owning brand-new luxury cars.

Celebrities may start sharing manufacturing dates - Justin Chuka, tech expert
In a brief chat with Legit.ng, Justin Chuka argued that the culture around flaunting luxury cars online might evolve to the point where celebrities may use details like manufacturing dates and more to strengthen their status.
"As luxury car culture evolves and social media transparency grows, I think celebrities may start sharing manufacturing dates to showcase exclusivity, limited-edition status, or custom builds.
"This could also serve as a status symbol and differentiate them from the rest."
