The past week has seen the Hip-hop scene
in Nigeria buzzing seriously over, following the release of a Nigezie
video which showed revered rapper Segun Babatunde a.k.a Modenine and beauty-queen-turned-rapper Munachi Abii in a verbal confrontation during a rap competition which took place some weeks ago.
Hours after the video hit the internet
and turned viral; Muna’s management released a statement which sparked
up more controversy by infuriating all those who were following
the Muna-Modenine drama. The statement signed by RMG boss Ayo Shonaiya
failed to apologise, or defend Muna’s actions but instead cheekily
insulted reporters and bloggers and indeed everyone discussing the
issue.
The statement only added more salt to
injury as Muna and her management received more insults from those
following the debate. The rapper on her own part felt pressured apologised to Mode 9, using the platform where it all went viral – Twitter.
‘I want us to be cool like before, and as we were just before the Nokia show’ she wrote to Mode 9. ‘Pls accept my apology. Modey, I know we had a chat, and still face2face when I get back, but 2 put a stop to this madness. I’m sorry boo’, @Muna01 tweeted at Modenine.
But the famous ‘apology tweets’ are now
missing from Muna’s Twitter timeline.. Sources say her management was
not happy with the tweets and asked her to delete them. ‘They
expected her to stand by their statement and not apologize, I guess they
were pissed off when Muna tweeted it and asked her to delete it‘, a source who would rather remain anonymous told NET.
Modenine did not respond to Muna’s earlier apologies and hasn’t tweeted since the development
