Phyno's Hilarious Encounter: New Bouncer Gets Fired for Mistaking Billionaire Host
In the world of Nigerian entertainment, where the fusion of culture, music, and comedy often collide, the latest buzz involves none other than the indigenous rapper, Phyno, and an amusing incident with his new bouncer. Known for his sharp wit both in his lyrics and in real life, Phyno has once again found himself in the spotlight, not for a new track or a collaborative album, but for a rather entertaining episode at a recent event.
Phyno, whose real name is Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike Ezege, was performing at the burial ceremony of billionaire Zenco's mother in Anambra State. The event, which also saw performances from other Nigerian heavyweights like Davido, was an occasion of celebration, mourning, and, unexpectedly, comedy.
During his performance, Phyno's new bouncer, named Chidi, displayed an overzealous approach to his job. In a video that has since gone viral, Chidi was seen attempting to send Zenco, the host and billionaire, off the stage for seemingly getting too close to Phyno. This action, however, was not out of malice but rather from a lack of recognition of Zenco's identity. Phyno, quick to rectify the situation, intervened and defended Zenco, showcasing not only his protective nature towards his hosts but also his sense of humor in the situation.
The video captured Phyno's humorous yet firm exchange with Chidi, leading to a moment where the rapper exclaimed, "Ezege wan nod am self," which translates to Phyno wanting to acknowledge Zenco himself, highlighting the bouncer's oversight in not recognizing one of the event's most significant figures.
The aftermath was a blend of apologies and laughter. Chidi, realizing his mistake, issued a public apology to Zenco, explaining his actions were only to protect Phyno. He begged for forgiveness, stating, "I was not trying to be rude to my chairman, Zenco, he’s my boss." This apology, too, became a part of the online chatter, with many Nigerians finding humor in the bouncer's earnestness and the situation's absurdity.
However, Phyno, in his characteristic light-hearted fashion, decided to "fire" Chidi - not from employment but from his role as his bouncer for the night. This decision was more of a playful reprimand than an actual dismissal, as Phyno was seen later in good spirits with Chidi, indicating that all was well between the two.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions across social media, with fans and followers of Phyno appreciating his humility and good nature. Comments like "That’s the problem with these guys. You just see anybody and you stretch hand," and "Before the bouncer and security personnel set out for the assignment, they should be briefed properly," reflect both the humor and the lesson learned from this event.
This story not only adds another layer to Phyno's public persona, showcasing his ability to handle situations with grace and humor but also serves as a reminder of the importance of knowing the context and characters in one's professional environment. In the end, the "firing" of Chidi has turned into yet another reason for Phyno's fans to admire and laugh with their favorite rapper.
