Nigerian Rapper Emeka Akumefule aka Blaqbonez has tendered an apology to music star, Adekunle Gold on behalf of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun state.
On Friday night, Adekunle Gold unleashed a passionate rant, reflecting on an incident from 2015 that occurred at the university.
He recounted a distressing experience where he was humiliated in his hotel room after performing at a concert.
Adekunle Gold was allegedly paid N300k to perform at the school, but his performance lasted for merely three minutes, during which he only sang his debut single ‘Sade’ before abruptly leaving the stage. This action not only outraged the students but also left the organizers disappointed and frustrated.
In the aftermath of the incident, infuriated students reportedly stormed Adekunle Gold’s hotel room and forcibly took half of the N300,000 payment, allegedly man-handling him in the process.
The traumatic experience from that day continues to haunt Adekunle, leaving a lasting impact on him to this date.
AG Baby wrote on Twitter:
“I had Just one song out then (SADE), those fuckers knew it! they booked me! I prostrated for the students (No wham). I hyped the crowd up, performed Acapella, Sang the full song (SADE), Entered the crowd, Performed again. came back to the stage did the same thing again!
“They were going to harm me! Do you know how insane that is? Your foolish Rep come dey lie for here? Ori yin ti Daru! They followed me to my hotel to get half of their 300k that they paid me back. I had one song! ONE! If you like go OAU go perform, anything wey your eyes see is on you.“
Blaqbonez, who is an alumni of OAU begged for forgiveness from his colleague and sked if he could bring out Adekunle during his soon-to-hold homecoming concert at the institution.
“Bro forgive us, make i bring you come homecoming 🥹 @adekunleGOLD,” he tweeted.
