Nigerian highlife singer and songwriter, Chinedu Okoli, better known as Flavour N’abania, has recalled how he was chased off stage for the now-defunct P-Square musical group during his days as a struggling artist.
The ‘Ada Ada’ hitmaker recounted the humiliating experience recently while speaking in his latest podcast interview.
According to Flavour, the manager of a club where he was performing chased him off the stage to make way for P-Square, who had arrived at the venue midway through his performance.
He went on to say that the reception the duo received from the audience that day made him wonder if they were practising the same trade as him.

He added, however, that he did not let the setback and public humiliation discourage him, noting that he used the experience as motivation to work harder and stay consistent.
Speaking during the chat, Flavour said: “I was performing one time when P-Square came in, and the manager of the place told me to leave the stage immediately.
“I switched off my mic, went and sat down somewhere. Ladies were screaming and cheering wildly the moment Paul of P-Square took the mic and began singing ‘Temptation.’
“I was wondering whether it isn’t the same music we are all doing, because I had been performing there and the crowd had never cheered me that way.
“I didn’t let the experience discourage me. Instead, I took it as motivation to work harder, and now we are here.”
