Stan Culture in Nigeria: How Far Would You Go for Your Fave? by Bigkwame(m) : 4:01 am |
It�s one thing to be a fan of a musician, but being a stan? That�s another thing entirely. Stans are fans who are willing to actually throw hands because of their faves.� With stan culture taking over the +234 internet (and real-life) thanks to Wizkid FC, Savage Soldiers, Outsiders, 30 BG and Rebel Gang, we decided to talk to some stans about the most outrageous things they�ve done for their faves.� �My family doesn�t know I have a Wizkid tattoo��� Kayinsola*, 23I come from a very religious family that doesn�t even allow me or my sisters to have more than one piercing. But during Detty December in 2022, I randomly got a tattoo of Wizkid�s full name, �Ayodeji Balogun�, on my thigh. I don�t wear short skirts or shorts at home, so my parents haven�t seen it yet. I could lie that it�s my boyfriend�s name. At least, maybe they�d think I�m less of a nutjob if the person knows I exist. But they�d also ask to see this boyfriend, and I don�t have one.� I�ve been a Wizkid fan since my first year of secondary school when he dropped Holla At Your Boy. He�s the greatest Nigerian musician of all time. I don�t regret my tattoo, but I wish I�d gotten it after I japa. I know my parents will unalive me if they see it.� �I used ??1.6m to cover my favourite rapper�s bill in the club��� Buchi*, 31For someone who isn�t rich, tell me why I cleared the table of one of my favourite musicians in the club. I�m a huge fan of Nigerian rap music from back in the day. I ran into one of my favourite rappers at the club in Enugu one night and was starstruck. He�d come into town to perform at a wedding, so he pulled up with his entourage to chill after. That�s how I told the club owner, my friend, to tell him not to worry, �Bills on me�.� By the time the bill came, omo, I was looking at about ?1.6m. He came into an Enugu club with Lagos energy. I�ve never paid that type of money for anything. Even for my brother�s wedding, I only contributed ?1m. Never again.� �I�m only on social media as a stan account��� David*, 29Tiwa Savage is my favourite musician and the only reason I have social media accounts. I don�t have a social media presence besides the LinkedIn and Facebook accounts I don�t even have access to anymore. But I run a stan account to share Tiwa�s articles, new songs, interviews, etc. Olorun Mi saved my life when I lost my brother, so since then, I�ve been a dedicated Savage Soldier. Everyone has hits, but no one serves vocals like my girl, and for that, I�ll drag anyone who says rubbish on Twitter.� RECOMMENDED: These 10 Tiwa Savage Songs Are Also Gospel Songs, Let�s Explain �Most of my salary goes to K-Pop merch, and I�m okay with it��� Hassana*, 25There�s a massive K-Pop community here in Nigeria, and I�m very active in it. I discovered K-pop through a co-worker in 2019 and haven�t looked back since. I stream their albums and performances, but the most outrageous thing I do is buy and ship merch, especially from BLACKPINK. Dollar rates rising or not, I�ll always support my girls. �I lied at work to go look for Burna Boy at Eko Hotel��� Sheryl*, 30I was obsessed with Burna Boy during my NYSC. I mean, I still love my boo now, but back then, I was actually obsessed. One day in 2014, I saw him post on his Instagram stories, and I recognised the pool in his background as the one at Eko Hotels. I wasn�t even sure if the post was recent, but see, I told my office HR my mother had collapsed and I needed to rush home. I hopped on a bus and ran to Eko Hotel. I just sat in the lobby for the rest of the day, hoping I�d run into him.� I remember watching that Korty video and laughing because it felt like a personal drag.� �I secured my Beyonc� Renaissance tickets before getting my visa��-Jesse*, 30�My plans in life come second to Beyonc�s plans for me, and that�s on period. As soon as she dropped the Renaissance tickets, I was in a queue to buy mine online for the UK show � since she�s not coming to Nigeria. It wasn�t until I�d paid for my ticket that I realised I hadn�t renewed my visa. I�ve applied and everything, but what if I don�t get it? I�m focusing on positive thoughts for now.� �I stopped talking to a girl because she said Wizkid was overrated��� Nti*, 28Imagine trying to get to know someone and they diss your favourite artiste? That�s what happened with a girl I was toasting two years ago. We met at a house party in Lagos, and I liked her vibe. Wizkid�s Come Closer came on shuffle as I was driving her for one of our hangouts, and unprovoked, this babe started insulting Wiz.� Granted, that song is somehow, but to call him overrated and a Wande Coal dupe? That was too much, so I ghosted her after that day. I didn�t need that negative energy around me.� ALSO READ: We Ranked the Best Wizkid Songs of the Decade
