Iyanya threatens Hit FM OAP

Thenetng has obtained an exclusive telephone recording where Nigerian singer, Iyanya threatened an On air personality of Hit FM, Calabar.

We exclusively gathered that the OAP known as Last Prophet had his radio show Otwetwe, on August 2, 2016 where he talked about Iyanya parting ways with his former partner and manager Ubi Franklin.

The OAP during his show said ‘he wondered if Iyanya was planning to return back to Calabar where he started from’.

Not long after the show, Iyanya put a call through to the OAP threatening him.

In Iyanya’s words, ‘I don’t depend on my strive (sic), but i depend on God to take me further, this is Iyanya speaking, brother let this be the first and the last time that you will make that kind of statement that you made about me on your show. I have never had any issue with you, don’t ever in your whole life mention my issue with Ubi on your show. I’ve had different people call me to make that report, the next time you do I’ll show you another side of me’.

Thenetng reached out to the OAP, Last Prophet who spoke to us saying, ‘I was shocked at Iyanya’s phone call. I’m a comedian and OAP, my show is a comedy show in pidgin English. All I did was make jokes from the situation, which is what anyone else would have done. I only feel bad because I’m sure he would not do that to any OAP in Lagos; he did it to me because he feels I’m in Calabar and he can just threaten me like that.


Iyanya who recently signed a management deal with TMC could not be immediately reached for comments at the time of this report. Since he parted ways with Ubi he has no known manager or contact details on his social media pages.
