Veteran reggae singer, Rhymzo, like many musicians, has seen his share of craziness when it comes to relating with fans.
The musician opened up to The Sun on autographing a fan’s breast and performing with late legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Excerpts below:
When was the first time you performed on stage?
That was in the ‘90s in my undergraduate days at the University of Benin. I was also part of the organisers of a show, which the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti headlined so, I opened for him.
Did you panic opening for an iconic musician like Fela?
No, and that was because I knew my audience. I had little or no problem communicating with them. In fact, that show has formed the foundation for my energetic performance to date.
How do you relate with your male and female fans?
I relate with them with lots of respect and spirituality because I don’t do girl stuff, my fans also relate with me seriously.
What crazy thing has a male fan done to you?
A male fan once dragged me off the stage by stretching his hands like he wanted to shake me but as I attempted to do that, he dragged me off the stage. However, I was not injured because he held on to me until I freed myself from his grasp and got back on stage.
What of female fans?
A female fan came to me back stage with her boyfriend, took off her blouse and asked me to autograph her boobs. While I was still wondering and trying to comprehend what was happening, her boyfriend brought out a pen and pleaded with me to autograph his girlfriend’s boobs, describing her as my biggest fan.
Did you do it?
Yes, I did and it was crazy and magical.
