Nigerian singer, Iyanya, has addressed misconceptions surrounding his encounter with a captivating lady named Florence at Davido’s Timeless concert in 2023, setting the record straight during a recent interview with Naija FM.
Recalling the events following his performance at Davido’s concert in April 2023, Iyanya initially announced his interest in a lady who had caught his eye during the event. Identified as Florence, she had admirably expressed her admiration for Iyanya while he was on stage, prompting him to seek her out.
Following their initial meeting, Iyanya and Florence embarked on a lunch date and boat cruise, sparking speculation and negative comments from social media users who accused him of interfering in her relationship.
However, in an interview with Naija FM that surfaced online today, March 20, 2024, the Kukere hitmaker debunked the rumors of “snatching” Florence from her boyfriend. He clarified that his interest was piqued by Florence’s captivating eyes, not her relationship status or physical appearance.
Upon reaching out to Florence, Iyanya discovered that she was going through a challenging time, as her father was battling cancer. Florence had taken a break from her responsibilities to enjoy the concert and have some much-needed fun.
Moved by her situation, the talented singer decided to extend his support to Florence, emphasizing empathy and kindness rather than any romantic intentions.
Iyanya’s clarification sheds light on the true nature of his interaction with Florence, highlighting his compassionate response to her personal struggles amidst public scrutiny.
