Fake Flavour Denies Fraud Allegations, Declares Love For Real Flavour And Reveals His ₦700k Performance Fee [VIDEO]

 

A fast-rising Nigerian entertainer who has gained attention for his striking resemblance and vocal similarity to the popular highlife artist Flavour N’abania has come forward to clear the air regarding widespread allegations against him. The performer, known to many as “Fake Flavour”, has been accused of impersonating the award-winning musician to deceive unsuspecting fans and show organizers. However, in a recent viral video, the look-alike insisted that he has never scammed anyone using Flavour’s name, stating that his admiration for the real Flavour is genuine and not a tool for fraud.

During the video, the entertainer addressed critics who claim he has been exploiting the image and brand of Flavour N’abania for personal gain. Speaking with confidence, he explained that he has immense respect for the highlife legend and sees himself as a devoted admirer rather than an imitator with fraudulent intentions. According to him, his performances are purely inspired by love for Flavour’s music and artistry, not an attempt to deceive fans or organizers into thinking he is the real musician.

The entertainer revealed that he has built his own fan base and carved out a niche within the Nigerian entertainment scene. Despite the nickname “Fake Flavour”, he emphasized that audiences are aware he is not the original star, yet they still appreciate his dedication to recreating the energetic performances and rich vocal delivery that made Flavour N’abania a household name. He further clarified that he is transparent with his identity whenever he is invited to perform and never pretends to be Flavour in any official capacity.

Addressing questions about his income, the entertainer disclosed that he earns between ₦700,000 and ₦800,000 for each performance. He laughed off suggestions that he was exploiting Flavour’s name for quick money, stressing that no serious promoter would mistake his fee for what the real Flavour charges. He noted that Flavour N’abania is one of Nigeria’s most sought-after performers, commanding significantly higher performance fees and performing at top-tier concerts both locally and internationally.

According to “Fake Flavour”, his career began from a place of admiration and inspiration. He described himself as someone who has always been fascinated by Flavour’s stage charisma, cultural expression, and mastery of highlife music. Over time, fans and social media users began to notice the resemblance between them, which led to his nickname. What started as a hobby of performing Flavour’s songs eventually turned into a livelihood, with event organizers booking him to entertain audiences eager for highlife performances.

Despite the criticisms that accompany his act, the entertainer maintains that his conscience is clear. He explained that those who accuse him of impersonation fail to understand the distinction between paying tribute and committing fraud. He said his shows are openly advertised using his known stage name, and event organizers are fully aware that they are hiring an artist who performs Flavour-inspired renditions, not Flavour himself.

He also expressed appreciation to his loyal supporters who continue to believe in his craft and defend his reputation. He encouraged aspiring artists to never be discouraged by public perception, emphasizing that creative expression often invites misunderstanding. According to him, being compared to a legend like Flavour is both a blessing and a challenge, as it pushes him to uphold a certain standard of artistry while constantly reminding people of his individuality.

The video has generated wide discussion across social media platforms, with fans expressing mixed opinions. Some praised him for being honest about his admiration and performance fees, while others argued that his stage name “Fake Flavour” contributes to confusion and might mislead the public. A few fans even suggested that he rebrand under a different name to better showcase his originality and avoid future controversies.

Nonetheless, “Fake Flavour” appears unbothered by the divided opinions. He insisted that his intentions are pure and that he simply aims to celebrate the legacy of a musician he deeply admires. He reiterated that he has never posed as Flavour N’abania to scam anyone, and that his earnings reflect his personal effort and popularity as an entertainer, not any form of impersonation.

As discussions continue online, his story serves as a reminder of how influence, admiration, and identity often intertwine in the entertainment industry. While his resemblance to Flavour may have sparked curiosity and criticism, “Fake Flavour” remains firm in his stance that his career is built on love for highlife music and respect for the real Flavour, not deceit.

"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."
