Mavo Apologizes to Nigerian Artists for Past Criticism

Mavo, born Oseremen Ukanigbe, issued an apology to Nigerian superstars for his previous harsh criticisms as an entertainment critic. He admitted on X that he was overly critical during his university days but has since redirected his focus to his music career, which began professionally in 2023 with his debut project titled "Ukanigbe." Mavo recognized that his past criticisms unintentionally hurt several artists and noted that meeting some of them in person changed his perspective.

He stated, "I was a bad entertainment critic when I started uni until I realized superstars don't really care about Twitter." His breakthrough came in 2025 with the release of "Escaladizzy," which garnered significant attention and introduced his unique slang and sound. Since then, he has collaborated with established artists like Wizkid and CKay and has released other notable projects.
