Bandage girls and Pretty Mike’s other spectaclesThe bandage girls spectacle was one of the displays Petty Mike put up at many grand social events.
It was no surprise that he made a show at Obi Cubana’s party, given how popular the businessman is.
In 2017, the socialate was arrested for parading ladies in chains. Explaining the reason, he said:
“I have done it twice and let us not make it look as if it is something I have been doing all the time. The two times I have done it were weddings where I was part of the groomsmen which means that I have a personal relationship with the bride and groom. The overall reason I chose to do this was because of the mission statement behind it.”In January 2025, he arrived at Yomi Casual’s 40th birthday with ladies bearing make-believe moulded human heads.
