Nigerian singer and hypeman Slimcase has sparked controversy online after a video of him bowing to greet Burna Boy at an event surfaced. The gesture, perceived as a sign of deep respect, has raised eyebrows due to their age difference – Slimcase is 9 years older than Burna Boy.
Reactions on social media have been mixed, with some criticizing Slimcase for showing excessive deference to someone younger, while others defend his actions as a sign of humility and respect. Some have also pointed out that respect is not determined by age.
The debate highlights the complexities of social hierarchy and respect in Nigerian culture.
