A heartwarming video capturing singer Patoranking’s respectful encounter with veteran singer King Sunny Ade at an event has circulated online, sparking widespread reactions. The footage emerged from the 60th birthday celebration of Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, wife of former Ogun State Governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel in Lagos.
Amidst the star-studded occasion, Patoranking demonstrated deep admiration for King Sunny Ade. Upon noticing the legendary musician performing on stage, he promptly climbed onto the stage and reverentially prostrated before him, showcasing profound respect.
This act of reverence stands in stark contrast to recent criticism faced by fellow artist Ayra Starr, who received backlash for merely shaking hands with King Sunny Ade instead of kneeling, as per Yoruba tradition. However, Patoranking's respectful gesture, despite not being of Yoruba descent himself, earned praise from netizens, highlighting his cultural sensitivity and appreciation for music icons.
The event, attended by prominent figures nationwide, served as a platform for Patoranking to demonstrate his reverence towards the music legend, further solidifying his reputation as a respectful and admired artist.
