MTN Project Fame 2008 star Iyanya has revealed that in December 2021 he begged to perform at two shows.
The ‘Kukere’ singer revealed this in a Twitter thread on Wednesday, noting that of the three shows he performed at in December 2021 only one paid.
However, in December 2022, Iyanya said the story changed, as he had over 20 shows where he was paid to perform.
Stating that he hadn’t had such a busy December since 2017, the talent show star expressed gratitude to God for the turnaround.

Iyanya tweeted, “Last December 2021, I performed at 3 shows. One paid, and I begged to perform at two just to be seen.
“In 2022 December, I wake up every day to alerts for shows. I haven’t had this kind of busy December since 2017. 20+ shows in one month. God, thank you.”
Iyanya also appreciated his fans for streaming his songs, as he promised that 2023 would be a better year for them.
“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. We will definitely have a great 2023,” he tweeted.
In July, Iyanya told Ebuka Obi-Uchendu in an interview that he left the music industry for some years to deal with mental health issues.
