Real Warri Pikin Apologises To Husband After Jumping On-stage Jump On Timaya 

Popular comedienne Anita Asuoha, better known as Real Warri Pikin, has issued a public apology to her husband and fans following a viral on-stage moment with singer Timaya at the AFRIMMA Music Fest in Dallas, Texas. The incident occurred shortly after she won the award for Best Stand-Up Comedian, when she joined Timaya on stage during his performance of his hit song "Ukwu."

Explaining what transpired in a video on her Instagram page, she revealed that she was backstage when she heard Timaya invite a woman to come out during the performance. She noted how her love for a good vibe made her rush out, only for the singer to tell her to jump on his body.

She said she was reluctant, but Timaya insisted that since she had come out on her own, she should not spoil his performance. The interaction, when she jumped on Timaya, according to her, was entertaining on stage but sparked mixed reactions online, with many criticising her actions and questioning her respect for her husband.

In her apology, Real Warri Pikin took full responsibility for the situation, pleading with her "online in-laws" to forgive her. She explained that she did not know Timaya brings women out during that particular performance and that she acted out of her love for a good vibe.

She humorously noted that her husband, Ikechukwu, is now upset with her, and she has "plastered" herself to her marriage, vowing that nothing will separate them.

She acknowledged that while the moment was funny on stage, it was not received well online, and she understands where the criticism is coming from. She emphasised that it is not in her character to disrespect her marriage and that she found herself in an awkward situation.

She said:
"Area, abeg make Una no vex for me. I take full responsibility, make Una forgive me. Na me do am to myself; I no know say if Timaya dey perform his 'Ukwu' song, e dey bring women come outside. I dey backstage dey vibe when I heard him say a woman should come outside, and you know I love anything vibe, hence why I rushed out o. Na me put myself for this one."

"That's when he told me I would jump on his body, and I said I couldn't do it. I was very reluctant, but he said I was the one who came outside, so I shouldn't spoil his performance."

"It was very funny and entertaining on stage, but online it wasn't funny. All my online in-laws, they say make I come for the marriage; where Una wan push me go? Ikechukwu now dey vex for me; where una wan put me go? I don plast am for the marriage say na till kingdom come. Make Una take it easy on me. Una no dey no person? It's not in my character."

"There are times you find yourself in some awkward situation, and yesterday was one of them. I owe you guys this apology because I understand where you're coming from. Not everything is hate speech. Some people are just genuinely concerned."
