'I never tweeted that' - Iyanya distances himself from viral post targeting fellow artistes

Nigerian singer Iyanya has publicly distanced himself from a controversial tweet shared from his official account, which appeared to take a swipe at fellow artistes.

The post, which declared, “At the end of the day, we will separate the wack artists from the real ones,” quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions across the entertainment industry.

In a swift response, the Kukere crooner took to his verified page to clarify the situation and issue an apology to his fans and colleagues. According to Iyanya, the tweet in question was not authored by him but was mistakenly posted by a member of his team who intended to share it on their personal account.

“This tweet wasn’t posted by me. I think one of my team members was trying to post on their own page and mistakenly posted here,” Iyanya explained in a follow-up tweet. “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 clarification was met with understanding from his fans and industry peers, with many praising his professionalism in addressing the matter directly.

Meanwhile, Iyanya remains one of Nigeria’s prominent Afropop artists, with several hit singles and accolades to his name. He continues to advocate for unity and mutual respect within the entertainment industry.
