Fake Flavour Defends Stage Name, Says He Doesn’t Pretend To Be Flavour N’abania For Money

Nigerian performer Fake Flavour has addressed accusations that he impersonates highlife superstar Flavour N’abania, insisting his act is never meant to mislead fans.

In a video message, he explained that his stage name reflects his admiration for Flavour. He also revealed that his performance fees range from ₦700,000 to ₦800,000—significantly lower than what Flavour charges—and that clients are aware he is a different artist.

“I just love him,” Fake Flavour said, stressing that he does not adopt Flavour’s identity for financial gain. “Flavour would never perform for that amount. People who book me know I’m doing my own thing, and I’m not pretending to be him to get money.”

"Please, I'm not using Flavour's name to scām people, I just love Flavour. I get paid ₦700,000 to ₦900,000 for a show, that money is too small for Flavour."
