However Linda has responded to the viral rumours.

Earlier today, June 23, it was widely reported online and on social media that the Federal Inland Revenue Service revealed that self acclaimed Africa's richest and most famous blogger, Linda Ikeji, had been evading tax payment, which has amounted to the whooping sum of $264,551.

A source who disclosed to an online publication said that when the celebrity blogger was questioned about the purchase of her widely reported Banana Island multi-million naira mansion, and she blatantly denied ownership of the N500 million luxurious property which she reportedly purchased in 2015.

Speaking exclusively with Pulse.ng over the widely report story, Linda Ikeji said that those rumours are false as she works as an individual and not a company.

"And the Banana house is mine 1000%..lol. Proudly mine and I would never deny it," Linda told Pulse.

Her latest predicament has led to both her fans and readers asking why she would strain to lie about her financial income when it was obvious she had achieved a lot. The FRIS has started the process of prosecuting her.
