Surprise Visit from a Close Friend
Iyaeto revealed in the video's caption that she had secretly traveled to surprise Weird MC, despite initially convincing the rapper she would not attend. "Last week, I flew out to surprise my friend and sister @WeirdMCOfficial. A few of us gathered to celebrate her. She kept asking if I was coming, and I kept replying with cheeky emojis. Even on the day they were travelling, I made a video call deliberately so she could see me in bed at home. I lied that I couldn't make the trip due to work commitments. The next day, I set out on the journey to surprise her. I couldn't have missed celebrating her milestone age with her," Iyaeto wrote.
Fan Reactions and Weird MC's Legacy
Fans flooded social media with reactions, praising the rapper's youthful appearance and expressing joy at seeing her healthy and happy after years out of the public eye. Many commented that she looked far younger than her age. Weird MC is regarded as a pioneer of female rap in Nigeria, rising to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with her distinctive blend of English and Yoruba lyrics. Her biggest commercial success came with the hit single Ijoya, which became a nationwide anthem and earned her multiple awards.
