Grammy: Twitter users drag comedian Ebiye over skit mocking 9ice, Burna Boy
Popular social media comedian Ebiye Victor has again incurred the wrath of social media users with his latest skit mocking 9ice and Burna Boy for failing to clinch the Grammy Award.
Ebiye could best be described as one of those “social media likes to dislike” whenever they goof.
WuzupNigeria reported a few days ago how the comedian was dragged on Twitter for body-shaming a lady on the microblogging site.
Over time he has court controversy on social media over his comedy skits which many have described as insensitive to present reality.
Popular among the skits was the post where he mocked singer Aramide for using her body to win headies award, he also colour-shamed award-winning Kenyan actress Lupita Nyongo’o,
In his latest skit, he portrayed 9ice as being happy because Burna Boy lost the Grammy Award to Angelique Kidjo.
9ice in the third track of his popular album ‘Gongo Aso’ had said:
“Don’t doubt me I go bring home Grammy…”
9ice featured 2Baba on the track – Street Credibility and has failed to get a Grammy nomination over a decade after releasing the song.
Ebiye in his skit titled ‘9ice during the Grammys’, portrayed 9ice as sobering after listening to the part of his song where he promised his fans to win Grammy.

Shortly after, his phone rang and the caller informed him that Burna didn’t win the award, then he started rejoicing.
The skit didn’t go down well with many netizens who are already dragging the comedian for mocking the two artistes and sending a wrong message of hatred.
See some of the reactions:
I am not here to debate whether Ebiye is funny or not. But that skit he made shading 9ice like that is not right. I am sure 9ice wouldn’t find that funny at all.

Except 9ice has abandoned music, thus abandoning the marathon before it’s over. I say this because I believe in the potency of words. If 9ice stays in the game, he will bring home the #GrammyAwards just like he said.

Comedian Ebiye Trolling 9ice like this with regards to Burna Boy for losing out at the Grammys.
This was supposed to be a joke but the joke is lost on the Comedian.
I fail to appreciate this dysfunctional sense of humour, that’s all

9ice is and will always be relevant in the music Industry.
None of his Album is Irrelevant, Good Music, Good Lyrics, Good Beats.
Underrate him at your own Peril. pic.twitter.com/yCzPZurWeF

The royalties 9ice has gotten and would keep on getting from Gongo Aso alone would feed Ebiye till he dies.
But see who’s making jokes between both of them.

Only God do crown the efforts man, 9ice has done well in the music industry, he is underrated, but to some us know, 9ice is a legend, don’t drag his to shit please.

Can we all sit down & count how many comedians have made jokes about celebrities & musicians & we all laugh about it?
We all pick & choose.
Ebiye is a comedian & it was just a skit & he can’t face Burna & 9ice to mock those evergreen songs.
You don’t like him. Be straight.

Ebiye is funny but that skit ain’t right
Shading 9ice and Burna at the same. The message he’s trying to pass across in the skit is that “You’re happy your friend didn’t win”
That’s a very bad concept to think of.

Comedian Ebiye ‘s Skit about 9ice bin happy that Burna Boy didn’t win Grammy is not funny.. Why? Must you always drag n condemn people?

Swallow your pride, 19-1 = o kan hating ni..

The fact is this shouldn’t be termed comedy, it’s too expensive.
To make a funny video, you have to also be sensible. Ebiye try again, you can do more. https://t.co/yYHHlilJHV— Boda shina (@boda_shina) January 28, 2020
