Iyanya Lambasts People Badmouthing His New Album "Once Upon a Cat"

Nigerian singer Iyanya earlier this year released his brand new studio album Once Upon a Cat. Honestly, even when I first saw that title, I was confused and didn't like it, even till now. But unlike me who didn't feel a need to go online and tell Iyanya this, other people did - and Iyanya isn't taking it well.

Earlier today, a Twitter user expressed to Iyanya his hatred for the title "Once Upon a Cat", and then in addition, other people expressed negative opinions about the album. All of this got to Iyanya who then went off on Twitter blasting all those who've been badmouthing his work. Here's what Iyanya said.

It all started when a Twitter user said "Your album title is one of the worst i have seen..." to which Iyanya replied:

IYANYA: Good you like the music, the Album Title being worst you have seen is your own fault because you have refused to do your findings why that title was released.

After that, Iyanya seemed to read more negative comments about his work because he went on to write a long note on his Twitter saying:

IYANYA: Insulting me will not make your life better, I took a break from this game to get my mind right, now I got it back, I will be in your faces forever and I’ll keep giving hits after hits and no one will change that, see this music thing na God hand e Dey and if God’s plan is for me to have the biggest songs in 2024 till forever, none of you haters will stop it.

I dropped an Album 20 days ago, I appreciate the love I have gotten so far and I want to say Thank you, but for those of you who are disrespectful towards people’s lives and how much they put in to make sure music is out there, e no go better for una.

I’ll be here no matter what and God will do only what He knows how to do, Bless The works of our hands (Bless our hustle)
