An influential musician uploads a vintage footage of Wizkid bowing down to King Sunny Ade on stage, giving Ayra Starr a tip on how to properly welcome an elder.
This follows criticism directed at the musician for shaking the Nigerian icon during a previous event.
Most online users felt that she was rude for that and that she ought to have done the Yoruba custom of kneeling in honor.
Despite her apology, a lot of her followers are making sure that she behaves appropriately.

“He was singing and yet acknowledged with a simple act of respect,” said @DavidAyo in a comment. It is crucial for the survival of our culture to teach the next generation about it.
“He also bowed to greet Femi Kuti, but woke twitter thinks Ayra Starr, who doesn’t have 20% of Wizkid’s accomplishments, is too big to greet,” @tobijubril_ continued.
