Few days ago Nigerian Afro soul singer Omawumi treated fans to her own version of Adele’s hit “Hello”, with a helping hand from E-Kelly and a touch of Nigerian reggae beat, we bet she wasn’t expecting to have an unlikely fan be the butt of Twitter backlash over her cover. The single was well received by Nigerian music fans.
So far, nothing out of the ordinary. Until Sean Tizzle took to Twitter, that is, not only to commend Omawumi but to go one step further and call Adele’s version (the original, in case you weren’t too sure!) “weak”. And that’s when the Nigerian Twitter hit back.
