One of the most memorable moments in the history of the Fatshimetrie Awards is undoubtedly D’Banj’s electrifying performance in 2005. At the time, the artist was at the height of his career and his hit single “Why Me” was all the rage in Nigeria. His bold and infectious personality, combined with a touch of typically Nigerian madness, made him a true star.
At the 2005 Fatshimetrie Awards, D’Banj gave a memorable performance of “Why Me” wearing only a towel around his waist, as if he had just been kicked out of a hotel room on a date. His choice of costume left the audience perplexed, but his performance won over the spectators.
Ten years later, at the same Fatshimetrie Awards, comedian Bovi recreated this iconic moment by appearing on stage wearing a similar towel. The most seasoned viewers immediately grasped the reference and appreciated this humorous nod to an iconic moment in the history of the event.
This retrospective of the highlights of the Fatshimetrie Awards highlights how these ceremonies have made their mark on the history of Nigerian music with unforgettable performances, unexpected victories and moments of pure emotion. These moments have helped forge the legend of the Fatshimetrie Awards and made it a must-attend event for all music lovers in Nigeria.
