Wizkid has accidentally thrown his crazy expensive ring into the audience.
The Grammy award-winning musician was performing at the Tottenham Stadium in London when he took his jacket off to throw out to his fans.
Unfortunately, his N99.5m ring slipped off with the jacket and flew into the crowd.

The singer, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, was performing to a sold-out stadium when it happened.
The very moment the Nigerian singer threw his jacket (and ring) was captured on video too.
The footage is now going viral.
As one guy on Twitter aptly said, “imagine the joy on the face of the lucky fan that caught the ring”.
But don’t feel too bad for the musician because he didn’t lose any sleep over it.
Wizkid reportedly called his jeweler mid-show to ask him to make another one on the spot.
So, how much are we talking here?
The ring is reportedly worth an eye-watering $100,000.
So, whoever caught it is no doubt having a really really good day.
“Imagine that one guy it first hit in the face and he didn’t know what hit him,” one guy said.
“A true fan would return it without a second thought,” another said.
One fan took to social media after the concert revealing he was kicking himself because he left the front row moments before it happened.
“Why did I leave that front row when the ring was about to fall, ah!” he said.
He said he’d actually caught other artists’ rings at concerts before including Zlatan and Diamond Platnumz.
“Obviously, the Wiz ring, that would have been the one. I could sell it for like £100k,” he said.
Who knew it was so common?
Who is Wizkid?
The Link Up and Essence singer is regarded as one of the most influential and successful African musicians of all time.
The 33-year-old also has an estimated net worth of $26 million, so he probably won’t be chasing that fan to return the ring any time soon.
