Fresh off her historic win as the Season 10 champion of Nigerian Idol, rising music sensation Purp has kicked off her post-show journey with a heartfelt visit to the headquarters of Rite Foods Limited, the makers of Bigi soft drinks. The singer, whose real name is Anu Agosa, visited the company in the company of the show’s first runner-up, Raymu, to express appreciation to the Bigi brand for its unwavering support and sponsorship of the talent competition over the past five years.
Visibly emotional, Purp credited Bigi for transforming her life and giving her a platform to shine, stating, “This platform has changed my life … Bigi didn’t just sponsor a show, they sponsored dreams, and I’m deeply thankful.” Her voice, known for its rich texture and soul, resonated not only on the Idol stage but also during her visit as she recounted how years of singing in church and theatre finally led to her national breakthrough.
Receiving her, the Managing Director of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, commended Purp’s resilience and star quality, declaring, “At Rite Foods, we believe in platforms that reflect our core values … Through Bigi, we’re proud to be nurturing tomorrow’s icons … You’ve inspired a generation. Now the real journey begins, and you will always have Bigi rooting for you.”
Purp’s Nigerian Idol victory came with a life-changing prize package including a brand new SUV, a cash reward of ₦30 million, a music recording deal, and a year-long DStv Premium subscription. Describing her win as unexpected but deeply motivating, she said, “Winning came as a surprise, but it’s a reminder that hard work and passion always pay off. I’m grateful to Bigi and Nigerian Idol for this life-changing opportunity. This is just the beginning.”
With the full backing of the Bigi brand and a growing fanbase across the country, Purp now stands on the threshold of stardom, ready to make her mark on the Nigerian and global music scenes.
