Billionaire Femi Otedola’s first daughter, Tolani, has once again caught the attention of netizens after she proudly showcased a luxury Japanese crown melon valued at £150 (approximately N300K). Known for her refined taste and deep love for exotic fruits, Tolani described the gift as “special” and highlighted that it was one of the most unique fruits she had ever received. The rare fruit, weighing about 150 pounds, is grown under meticulous care in Japan, where farmers are said to treat each melon with the same attention they would give to a child.
Sharing a video online, the billionaire heiress expressed her excitement over the crown melon, praising its aroma, juiciness, and overall presentation. She noted that while she wasn’t entirely convinced the hefty price tag matched its taste, the experience was worth it and very memorable. Tolani jokingly added that her heart is easily won through her stomach, especially with exotic fruits like this, explaining that the melon was so enjoyable it even made her skip dates just to indulge herself. “This is one of the juiciest, most incredible things I’ve ever eaten,” she gushed as she cut through the fruit.
According to Tolani, the crown melon is more than just fruit—it represents a luxury culture of farming in Japan, where fruits are often regarded as premium gifts. She laughed about how something as simple as a melon could bring her so much happiness and insisted that fruit lovers like her would understand the joy it brings. In her words, the aroma alone was enough to impress her, even before taking the first bite.
“The way to my heart is through my stomach”
Tolani emphasized that the crown melon proved her long-standing statement that food, particularly unique and luxurious fruits, is the easiest way to her heart. “This was a present I received, and if you know me, you know that the way to my heart is through my stomach, especially when it comes to strange and crazy fruits,” she said with laughter. She further explained that while the fruit didn’t initially give off a strong scent, its juiciness and rich taste made up for it, leaving her impressed and satisfied.

This isn’t the first time Tolani has stunned fans with her love for rare fruits. Some months ago, she had also made headlines after showing off a mango that cost her approximately N390K. At the time, netizens were left shocked by the extravagant price of the mango, with many wondering what made it so special. Her latest indulgence in the Japanese crown melon has once again reminded fans of her love for rare delicacies and her willingness to spend big on them.
Reacting to the video, social media users expressed mixed feelings. While some admired her unique taste and lifestyle, others were astonished at the sheer amount spent on a single fruit. Nevertheless, many agreed that her excitement and playful personality made the moment worth watching.
