The Stage Is My Shrine: Real Warri Pikin Responds To Critics Over Timaya Performance

Popular Nigerian comedienne and actress, Anita Asuoha, widely known as Real Warri Pikin, has fiercely clapped back at social media critics following the backlash over her recent stage appearance with music star Timaya.

The controversy erupted after videos surfaced from the AFRIMMA Awards in Dallas, showing Timaya lifting the comedienne during an energetic live performance. Online commentators quickly flooded social media, criticizing the interaction as inappropriate and questioning the boundaries of a married woman in the entertainment industry.

Initially addressing the matter lightly, Real Warri Pikin shifted gears in a follow-up video, releasing a defiant and completely unapologetic statement to her critics.

“I did what I did with my full chest, and I will do it over and over again,” she boldly declared. “I am an entertainer. The stage is my shrine.”

The comedienne made it clear that she refuses to let online scrutiny dictate how she handles her craft or police her performances. She emphasised that the stage is her professional workspace, where she entertains her fans, adding that she will not be bullied or ruled by fear on social media.
