As we come closer to the end of the year, we look
at some of 2015’s unforgettable embarrassing
moments for some of our Nigerian celebrities. For
most of them, the year was smooth and
wonderful while for others, it had its ups and
downs. Below are the top five unforgettable
embarrassing celebrity moments this year.


1. Denrele falls off the stage
Denrele Edun, one of Nigeria’s popular TV
presenters and red carpet host, known for his
crazy lifestyle, might have had a good time this
year. But about three months ago, while the TV
star was displaying his “crase” as usual on stage
by whipping his braids around and jumping
around in his signature platform boots, he took a
step too far and fell off the stage, into the crowd.
Social media had a field day with that one, with
clips and memes shared from Instagram to
Twitter and Facebook. However, in his
characteristic style, the TV personality owned his
embarrassing moment, sharing it himself more
than once on Instagram.


2. Sean Tizzle’s meltdown over Omawumi’s Hello
cover
The Nigerian artist known for his good music and
good looks was so close to having a very smooth
year but at the last moment decided to react –
overreact – to one of singer Omawumi’s cover of
Hello by the British singer Adele. Sean Tizzle
actually deemed Omawumi’s version of the song
way better than the original – which debuted at
no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US – and
lambasted Nigerians for not appreciating their
own. His comments did not sit too well with
Nigerians on social media, who mercilessly
mocked him for assuming that Adele’s version
was a cover to begin with.


3. KCee as the face (and body) of Air Peace
Nigeria
The Five Star music act got an ambassadorial
deal with Nigerian airline Air Peace and decided
to share the good news with his fans on social
media by putting up an advert for the company in
which he featured. Unfortunately, he
miscalculated the magnanimity of Nigerians. The
advert which pictured KCee looking peaceful on a
pillow in the skies made him the butt of jokes on
social media. A subsequent campaign that
showed KCee as a member of a cabin crew on
one of Air Peace’s planes was equally not well
received.


4. Solid Star and the Headies Awards
After releasing various singles this year, singer
Solid Star was confident that he would be
nominated at the Headies Awards, which he was
– in two categories. But the Omotena singer was
not satisified so he took to Twitter to make his
grievance known and demand one more
nomination. He received a lot of backlash form fans for this totality #NoChill moment.


5. The skiibii death hoax.
This is a good example of when a PR stunt goes
too far. Five Star Music, which houses KCee and
Harrysong, received a lot of backlash and
condemnation in the media when it announced
the death and subsequent “resurrection” of one of
its artists, Skiibii. The label’s manger, Soso
Sobrekan, in August “leaked” information to some
bloggers about the death of Skiibii who was
newly signed to the label at the time. In a swift
turnaround, singer KCee later that day denied that
Skiibii was dead but had only suffered a blackout.
Soon, the barely known singer’s name was
trending all over the internet. Soso was eventually
“fired” for the poorly thought out stunt and Skiibii
leveraged on his notoriety by releasing a single
mere days after supposedly knocking on death’s
door. Nigerians hated being taken for a ride and
little has been heard of the singer since.
Meanwhile, Five Star despite several overtures in
the media was lambasted for playing with
something as serious as death.
