Flavour Hilariously Responds to Claim That His Talent Came From a “Mami Water”
Nigerian highlife superstar Flavour has once again shown his humorous side after reacting to a viral tweet suggesting that his musical gifts were bestowed upon him by a mami water — a mythical water spirit from African folklore.
The unexpected moment unfolded on X (formerly Twitter), when a user, @SolomonN38455, jokingly asked:
“Flavour, is it true that it is mami water that teaches you how to sing?”
Flavour, known for his rich vocals, commanding presence, and electrifying performances, didn’t miss a beat. With a cheeky wink to the myth, he replied:
“Chai. My secret is out.”
The playful response sparked a flurry of reactions online, with fans enjoying the banter and praising Flavour’s sense of humour. Some even jokingly requested a “ritual link-up” with the supposed water spirit for their talent upgrade.
Flavour, whose real name is Chinedu Okoli, has long captivated audiences with his fusion of traditional highlife and contemporary African rhythms. From elite weddings to global stages, he remains a top-tier performer, and now, apparently, the rumored protégé of mythical forces.

A public feud has erupted between Nigerian music stars KCee and Flavour, stemming from KCee’s latest song, which closely resembles Flavour’s hit ‘Doings.’
Flavour seemed to initiate the controversy with a cryptic post on X, writing “Copy copy akaria“—a phrase implying imitation. Though he didn’t mention KCee directly, KCee took the comment as a jab and quickly responded with strong words.
