Tekno has stated that he is not the individual depicted in a viral video who suddenly had a seizure and collapsed on a red carpet.
Tekno Denies Being the Man in Viral Video Who Collapsed on Red Carpet
Nigerian award-winning singer and producer Tekno has addressed and refuted viral reports claiming that he collapsed while performing at a show in South Africa.
The viral video in question depicted a man experiencing a seizure and collapsing on a red carpet, with onlookers quickly coming to his aid. This footage, accompanied by incorrect claims that it was Tekno, spread widely on Tuesday and caused significant concern.
Tekno responded via Instagram, stating: "Hey guys, I'm hale and hearty and not currently in South Africa. I hope whoever was in the video is doing well and okay. Thank you, guys. Love you."
In addition, fellow singer Mr. Eazi dispelled the rumors, clarifying that Tekno was actually in Equatorial Guinea at the time, not South Africa as the reports suggested.
The Nigerian entertainment industry has recently faced a series of tragedies, heightening the anxiety among fans. Notably, last month, Nigerian music icon Onyeka Onwenu passed away after collapsing at an event in Lagos shortly after her performance.
