A viral video making the rounds on social media has sparked mixed reactions after a man was captured spraying veteran singer 9ice with ₦5 notes during a live performance.
The footage, which surfaced over the weekend, shows the man gleefully throwing the low-denomination notes at the award-winning artiste while the crowd looked on in shock and amusement.
Fans React to “Disrespectful” Gesture
The incident reportedly happened at a local event where 9ice was performing one of his popular tracks. While some spectators laughed off the act as mere playfulness, others saw it as a show of disrespect to a legend who contributed immensely to Nigeria’s music scene.
“Spraying ₦5 on 9ice? That’s not funny. It’s an insult to the man’s legacy,” one fan commented.
Another wrote, “Even if it’s for bants, there are limits. 9ice deserves better.”
Some social media users, however, argued that the man’s gesture might not have been malicious but simply a playful moment that went viral for the wrong reasons.
Public Debate on Respect for Legends
The video has reignited conversations about how Nigerian entertainers are treated in public spaces, especially by fans who blur the line between admiration and mockery.
As of now, 9ice has not made any public statement regarding the incident.
