Tekno Collapses On Stage While Performing In South Africa? Here’s The Truth

The Nigerian social media space was recently buzzing with reports about young singer Augustine Miles Kelechi, aka Tekno, having a seizure on stage and collapsing.

A viral clip showing the moment the singer fell off stage after having a terrible seizure has sparked massive concerns across the Nigerian social media space.

However, a corresponding report debunking the story has emerged. Mr Eazi, the owner of Tekno’s record label, has released a statement noting that the artiste in the viral video is not Nigerian singer Tekno.

“Tekno wey dey Malabo” – Mr Eazi

In response to the viral video, Mr Eazi shared a tweet on his X handle noting that the person in the viral clip is a Kenyan rapper, Prezzo.

He noted that his colleague Tekno Miles isn’t in South Africa. He is currently in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, and is nowhere near SA.

Famous X critic and social media commentator Daniel Regha has also reiterated Mr Eazi’s comment revealing the person’s identity in the viral video who collapsed on stage.

“Apparently the person who had a seizure wasn’t Tekno judging by what Mr. Eazi said. Still a sad new nonetheless. Wishing the affected person the speediest of recoveries…”

@adelakuntufayl:

“I hope this is verified before making it here. Since it is reportedly, can it be confirmed and verified before posting?”
