He claimed he was staring into their eyes the entire time, and he would never forget how they reacted when he dropped a few bars.

He tweeted;

“Yesterday, I performed at a company’s end of the year party, very mature audience, that was when I realised how vulgar my lyrics actually were. Looking mummy & daddy in the eye while saying ‘can’t let these fxxking btches see no emotion’ is something I’d never forget 😭”

Reacting, Daniel Regha, wrote; “Emeka ur lyrics have always been the issue in a majority of your songs; No-one can deny ur talent or unique vocals, but u need to work on your songwriting skills.

Keep in mind that kids also have access to streaming platforms & often listen to your songs, so your music shouldn’t be inappropriate.”

Another tweep, motivatedpso, commented; “It seems like performing for a mature audience made you realise the impact of your lyrics. It’s a valuable lesson, and now you can work on refining your songs to cater to a wider audience.

This experience will surely help you grow as an artist and make your performances even more memorable in the future. Keep shining!”
