A heartwarming video capturing singer Patoranking’s respectful gesture upon meeting veteran singer King Sunny Ade at an event has emerged online, sparking an outpouring of reactions from netizens.
The video surfaced online, depicting Patoranking’s encounter with King Sunny Ade during the 60th birthday celebration of Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, the wife of former Ogun State Governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel in Lagos.
In the footage, Patoranking, amidst the star-studded event, noticed King Sunny Ade performing on stage. Without hesitation, he climbed onto the stage and reverentially prostrated before the legendary musician, showcasing his deep admiration and respect for the music icon.
This comes in the wake of criticism faced by Patoranking’s junior colleague, Ayra Starr, after she was lambasted online for shaking hands with King Sunny Ade instead of adhering to the tradition of kneeling as a proper Yoruba lady, particularly given her Kwara State roots.
In contrast, Patoranking, hailing from Ebonyi State, garnered praise from social media users for his display of respect towards King Sunny Ade during the event, which boasted a lineup of prominent figures from across the country.
