Uriel Ngozi Oputa, former Big Brother Naija housemate, has revealed how she embarrassed herself in an attempt to act like her role model Tiwa Savage.
She made this revelation via her Instagram page, where she also explained why she opted for the name ‘Uriel music star’.
According to Uriel, she named herself Uriel Music Stars because she wanted to be like Afro-pop star Tiwa Savage.
She also said she once had an embarrassing moment on stage, trying to act like her, as she mistakenly switched off the microphone and when the technical itch was rectified, she had forgotten the song she was singing.
The Reality TV star wrote: “Those asking why my name is Uriel music star is because I wanted to be the next Tiwa savage back then. When I first moved to Nigeria, I remember the day I gave up music sha.
“I was using one hand to hold leg, the other to hold the microphone. “I started singing, when I reach chorus, they come tell me to on the microphone. Ehen an!! Ok microphone on, I forgot my lyrics, I started singing Amazing Grace.
“One guy clapped for me sha. He later asked for my number, uncle commot before I use my shaking leg kick you.”
