(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Popular Nigerian singer, Ikechukwu Eric Ahiauzu, aka Ric Hassani, has come under severe criticism concerning his statement on the just concluded concert of Grammy award singer, Burna Boy.

African Examiner writes that Burna Boy recently made history after he became the first artist to have sold out gig at the One Night in Space concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Many artists have congratulated Burna Boy for this feat and joining the fray, Ric Hassani took to his Twitter handle saying that other singers should learn from Burna Boy adding that it is high time singers sing live on stage instead of miming to their songs.

The tweet of Hassani sparked social media reactions as some Nigerians felt he was shading their favourite singers. Many attacked the singer for his statement and he eventually deactivated his Twitter account. African Examiner reveals some of the tweets by netizens on Twitter on how they reacted to the message of Hassani berating other singers and the singer also deactivating his account.

Keep in mind that different songs require different types of energy, so sometimes an artiste needs to yell to ignite the crowd. Educate urself.”

@_SLYTAUREAN writes: “Ric Hassani tweeted how artists could do better with their performance. And you lots bullied him and he deleted. December will reach. You will buy tickets for a show slated for 8pm and you will be kept waiting till 4 am, they come lipsync 1 song and exit stage. You deserve it.”
