In a recent interview, the entertainer said he adopted the name out of respect for the award-winning artist whose music inspired him, emphasizing that he has never misled anyone into believing he was the real Flavour.
“I’m not using Flavour’s name to scam people; I just love him,” he said.
According to him, his performance fees typically range between ₦700,000 and ₦800,000, which he believes is far below what the real Flavour would charge for a show.
“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,” he added confidently.
Fake Flavour maintained that his brand is founded on respect and creative expression, not deception or fraud.
The controversy surrounding his stage identity has triggered mixed reactions on social media. While some users have praised his candor and described the situation as humorous, others argue that using a name so closely resembling that of a famous musician could easily mislead the public and event organizers.
The performer, however, insists he intends to continue using the moniker as a form of tribute to the artist who inspired his musical journey.
