Nigerians slam Ebiye over condemning 9ice, Burna Boy in comedy skit

Nigerian comedian and actor, Ebiye Victor has been criticised on social media after he shared a new skit in which he subtly lashed 9ice and Burna Boy for not winning the Grammys.

 

Recall that 9ice had promised in his ‘Street Credibility’ song that he would bring home the Grammy.

In the video, the comedian can be seen in a car listening to ‘Street Credibility’, a hit track off ‘Gongo Aso’, an album released by 9ice in 2008.

 

In the lyrics of the song, the talented singer vowed to “bring back home a Grammy” — a feat he has been unable to achieve till date.

 

Ebiye, making an impression of 9ice, then receives a call where he is informed of Burna Boy’s defeat and can be seen celebrating after the call while ‘Gongo Aso’, another song off the same 2008 album, can be heard blasting through the speakers.
The skit has, however, triggered a heated debate on social media platforms especially Twitter, where users are condemning the comedian.
