JUST IN: I begged to perform for free in 2021 – Iyanya

Nigerian singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, professionally known as Iyanya, has revealed how he begged show organizers to have him perform for free in December 2021.

The 36-year-old claimed in a series of tweets on Wednesday that he performed at three shows in December 2021 and got paid for only one.

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 on month.

“And to my fans and everyone who streamed my music this year, God Bless you.

“There’s got to be more and I promise 2023 will be a better year for everyone who has supported me this year.
