- A video going viral at lightning speed, depicting Tekno supposedly collapsing mid-performance, has ignited a frenzy of panic across social media platforms
- The situation has grown so intense that even Mr Eazi couldn’t stay silent, taking to social media to address the brewing storm.
Nigerian musician and influential music executive, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, widely known as Mr. Eazi, has stepped into the spotlight to address the swirling rumors that have taken the internet by storm, claiming that Afrobeats sensation Tekno collapsed on stage.
The rumor mill has been churning non-stop since a video surfaced, allegedly showing the ‘Pana’ hitmaker being supported by security operatives in what appears to be a desperate attempt to revive him after he supposedly crumpled during a performance in South Africa.
This clip, which has been circulating with dizzying speed, has sparked a wild frenzy among fans and observers alike, setting social media platforms ablaze with concern and speculation.
The intensity of the situation caught the attention of the usually reserved Mr. Eazi, who couldn’t stand idly by as misinformation spread like wildfire.

On the very same day—Tuesday, August 20, 2024—he took to the social media app X to set the record straight, firmly debunking the rumors.
In a pointed and decisive post, Mr. Eazi made it clear that Tekno is far from the chaos the internet has conjured; in fact, the star is currently in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, and not South Africa, as the rumor mongers would have people believe.
Taking to social media app X, he wrote:
“Lmao Tekno wey dey Malabo”

This development unfolds just weeks after Mr. Eazi made headlines with a game-changing announcement—a major partnership with fellow Afrobeats star Tekno at his renowned record label, Empawa Africa.
The news, which sent waves through the music industry, was shared by Mr. Eazi on the microblogging platform X, where he proudly introduced Tekno not only as a new partner but also as an investor in the label.
This strategic alliance marks a significant milestone for Empawa Africa, hinting at exciting new ventures and collaborations on the horizon.
