Nigerian artist Iyanya has reacted following an outcry from Mayorkun over a bad incident he experienced in Calabar, Cross River. Following his performance at an end-of-year event, Mayorkun promised in the post—which has since gone viral online—that he would never return to Calabar. The former DMW Signee, who recently aimed at those requesting Christmas presents from him, expressed qualms about accepting an invitation to return to Calabar. He wished the other musicians who would be playing at the Calabar festivals success, but he did not disclose the reasons behind his choice.

Iyanya posted a tweet: “My calabar people, this is very bad for the peaceful people I know us to be. The government has brought my colleagues to entertain you, all you owe them is protection and great hospitality. If you know anyone who stole from my brother , please return it and I will personally compensate you… Drop it at THE GRAND HOTEL I will personally compensate you PLEASE. My calabar people, this is very bad for the peaceful people I know us to be.

Nigerian musician, Iyanya has dragged a social media user who undermined his music career in a post on Twitter. Iyanya who has contributed massively to the music genre chanced on a post of a Twitter user who was belittling a remark made by Ubi Franklin during a show. Ubi Franklin reportedly gave a shoutout to Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid for how they are promoting Afrobeats globally. However, while praising these three artists, he didn’t forget to acknowledge Iyanya as well. The Twitter user who didn’t agree with the opinion of Ubi Franklin that Iyanya has contributed to Afrobeat trashed the comment of Ubi Franklin. He wrote; “Ubi Franklin gave shout out to Davido, Wizkid, Rema and Burna Boy for what they’re doing to Afrobeats internationally and he mentioned Iyanya too.” While reacting to the post of the Twitter user, the “Kukere” hitmaker Iyanya, blasted him and noted that only someone who is brainless will undermine his relevance. He wrote; “And who are you again? Only a brainless person will try to undermine my contribution to this game till date. You definitely are clueless.” And who are you again? Only a brainless person will try to undermine my contribution to this game till date.
