Popular Nigerian music star, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, also known as Iyanya, on Wednesday recalled how he pleaded with show organizers to allow him perform for free in December 2021.

In a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, the 36-year-old singer revealed that he performed at three shows in December 2021 but got paid for only one.

The Kukere crooner, however, thanked God as his story changed in December 2022, saying he has more than 20 shows in just one month.

He tweeted, “Last year December 2021, I performed at 3 shows, one paid and I begged to perform at 2 just to be seen.

“2022 December, I wake up and everyday to alerts for shows, haven’t had this kind of busy december since 2017, 20+ shows in one month. God Thank you”.
