“I Was Asked to Leave Stage just for P Square to Perform”-Flavour Recounts his Unforgettable Encounter with PSquare while growing as an artist.
Popular high-life singer Chinedu Okoli, better known as Flavour N’abania, recounted his rise to fame, including being asked to leave the stage during a performance for the now-defunct group Psquare, Peter and Paul Okoye.
Flavour, while speaking on ‘In My Opinion’ podcast, narrated how he began his music career as a choir conductor and drummer in the church, and serving a music band for 13 years.
The singer, however, exited the band and transitioned to playing at shows and events.
Flavour’s encounter with Psquare
Flavour, while speaking about his encounter with PSquare at a show in Enugu and how it turned around his career, said:
“So the promoters brought Psquare while I was playing, and immediately Psquare came; the manager just said, ‘Hello, off that thing.’ “I switched off, passed the microphone, and went to sit. Then when Paul of Psqaure picked up the microphone and just said, ‘This na temptation’ everywhere scattered.”
Flavour revealed that the experience made him realise he needed to create his unique sound and transition from a mere musician to an artiste.
