A video recently surfaced online showing an individual collapsed on the floor, causing a stir on social media as many believed the person was Nigerian singer Tekno.
The video, which quickly went viral, showed the individual laying motionless while bystanders frantically tried to revive him.
As the speculation grew, Tekno became aware of the rumors and took to Twitter to set the record straight. In his post, Tekno clarified that he was not the person in the video and assured his fans of his well-being.
Hey guys, I’m hale and hearty and not currently in South Africa. I hope whoever that was in the video is doing well and ok. Thank you guys. Love you,” Tekno tweeted, quashing the false reports and easing concerns about his health.
Despite Tekno’s reassurance, the video had already sparked significant debate and concern among netizens, many of whom began offering unsolicited diagnoses and expressing their worries about the singer’s health.
Here are some reactions from social media users who initially believed Tekno was the person in the video:
– amabassey: “Someone had a seizure, and the first step for another person was to pull out a camera.”
– damisi: “Recording someone in their vulnerable moment and making it public is such a vile and inhumane thing to do!!!”
– nengiscollection: “Health is wealth. Can these artistes always check up on their health conditions and have enough rest?”
– capacity_chairlady: “Seizure? He should check for hypoglycemia first.”
– ist_chocolate: “Untimely death isn’t your portion in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Tekno’s health has been a topic of discussion before. A few years ago, he took a break from the music scene due to a throat infection, which required him to step back and focus on his recovery. Upon his return, Tekno explained the reasons for his absence, reassuring fans that he was back and better.
Tekno isn’t the only Nigerian artist who has faced health challenges. Singer Teni also had a similar experience with a throat infection, which required surgery.
