Nigerian singer Iyanya Mbuka is in the news after he reacted to claims that David Adeleke, aka Davido, betrayed Augustine Miles Kelechi, aka Tekno, when he needed him.

According to the poster, even though a good turn deserves another, that does not apply in Nigeria’s music industry.

The tweep wrote:

“One artist told the world in an interview he didn’t have a hit for a while and Tekno came through for him, gave him a full recorded song and assured him it’s a hit. Years later after going through a lot himself including throat surgery, Tekno openly reached out to the same artist tweeting at him that he’ll like to be part of his then “forthcoming album” not only was he ignored he didn’t even come any close to the album. One would think one good turn deserves another… but not in the Nigerian music industry. I pray Tekno find his voice again.”
