Skepta (Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr) is a UK-based Nigerian grime artiste who was born in London. The Glastonbury Festival (shortened to Glasto) is a famous music festival that is held in the UK. Nigerian artistes like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti have performed at the festival. Skepta perforned at the festival recently and posted a photo of his performance. This led to the following exchange.

Some British people have expressed anger at his tweet, saying that only people that accept British culture should be allowed to become British subjects. Some Nigerians have proudly reiterated that he is Nigerian. Some British people have also said that he has a right to choose where he is from. Some Nigerians have also said that the only reason that he is proud of Nigeria is because he does not live in Nigeria. Others have referenced a line from his 2017 hit, Hypycrisy. In that song he rapped, "I'm a Nigerian Eagle". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF3y-HUxZTI?si=vWMfvVLiOAwj7fwK 2 Likes 3 Shares |

I think the British guy was upset, thinking probably Skepta was bigging up the Palestinian flags and also the absence of anyone proud to be British. Though everyone knows Skepta is a proud Yoruba boy, he should however be mature enough to realise that it does not make sense to distance himself from the country that made him who he is, and that's Britain, not Nigeria. 7 Likes |

AndroBlaze:Yeah, the part in which he mentioned "Virtue seeking" makes me think that it was the Palestinian flags that upset him. But I also think that's what upset Skepta too. |

I love him. He knows his real country, not the country of his birth. I have nothing against the UK, but blacks are not originally British. And many of them in the UK are slowly realizing that  : . 2 Likes |

#naptus2, Is this post really from you or someone impersonating you. This is the most meaningless and incomprehensible post from #neptus2 |

The guy is definitely proud to be Nigerian unlike many on this forum who are a disgrace to this country with their tribalistic, sectarian and corrupt practices. He declined to wave the British flag. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Redman44:However most of Skepta's fans are British and not necessarily Nigerian British self. Its all political and I think the Left in UK and USA tend to overdo things too much honestly....that's how they create Trumps and Kemis. |
