Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya has found himself at the center of social media attention after a provocative tweet from his official account ignited controversy across the music scene. The tweet, which read:
“At the end of the day, we will separate the wack artists from the real ones,” was widely interpreted as a jab at fellow artists, fueling heated debate among fans and critics alike.
In a swift and transparent move, the artist took to his verified Twitter/X handle to distance himself from the tweet, clarifying that it was posted by mistake by a member of his team who intended to make the post on his own personal page. In a show of humility and professionalism, he followed up with an apology, stating:
““I don’t agree that any artiste is ‘wack’. We are all talented in our unique ways, and with consistent effort, we will all get the results of the work we put in. I am truly sorry.”
The singer’s prompt response and apology were met with widespread understanding and support from fans and fellow musicians. Many praised Iyanya for his accountability and commitment to maintaining harmony within the industry.
This isn’t the first time Iyanya has spoken out against divisiveness in the entertainment space. The artist, known for chart-topping hits and his charismatic stage presence, has consistently advocated for collaboration and mutual respect among Nigerian artists.
