Here are 7 things about the singer Flavour N’abania that you probably didn’t know: When he was only 13 years old, Flavour began his career as a musician by playing the drums for the choir at the church he attended in Enugu. Because he is one of the most well-known people in Nigeria, the media has paid a great deal of attention to Flavour and have discussed many aspects of his life in great detail.
In spite of this, we have uncovered a few things about him that you might already be aware of.
1. Began in church
A significant percentage of the singers and musicians who are active in popular culture today got their start in churches, both in the United States and in Nigeria. In this particular category, flavor occupies the very first row. According to him, he first got his start playing the drum in the church, which was something that seemed perfectly natural to him at the time.
2. If he weren’t a musician, he would have become a footballer
If he hadn’t decided to become a musician, he most likely would have pursued a career in football instead. In the more than two decades that he has spent working in the music industry, Flavour has amassed a string of hit singles, which have contributed to his rise to prominence as one of the most famous people in Nigeria.
Flavour once mentioned in an interview that, in addition to his talents as a musician, he was also an accomplished football player. It would have been simple for him to continue his career as a football player in the event that his music career had been unsuccessful.
“Definitely a soccer player. I have a lot of fun playing soccer “In 2011, he said to Kiki Nembhard.
3. Left home at the age of 13 on scholarship
Because they had no concept of what being a musician entailed, Flavour’s parents did not support his decision to pursue a career in the music industry. However, after he met the friend of his pastor who had returned to Nigeria to look for young talented people to join a band, his mother’s priorities shifted, and she no longer wanted him to attend school. Instead, she wanted him to join a band.
“I went to the place where the band was located and the man was impressed. He asked me if this was what I wanted to do and I said yes. I went back home to tell my parents about it and we went back and forth,” he told Eve’s Eye in 2017.
“They didn’t approve. So I had to leave home. My parents didn’t understand it, they thought I was going insane. I left home, my parents looked for me for months.”
4. Previously worked for Mr. Raw as a backup singer.
When Flavour was just starting out, he was required to sing in the band’s backup group so that he could gain experience. After eleven years of performing with the band that was sponsored by Soundcity Communications, the famous musician made the decision to embark on a solo career.
It may interest you all to know that Flavour was once a backup singer for the veteran rapper Mr Raw.
“I use to do choruses for him. From there I saw these choruses become major songs,” he said during an interview in Canada.

5. His former stage name was actually his sister’s boyfriend’s name
Just so you know, Flavour wasn’t initially his original stage name as he was called something else. In 2017, while chatting with Evelyn Koomson in Canada, a famous musician revealed that it was challenging for him to think of a stage name.
“It is always difficult finding a name for yourself as an artist. It is something you go with yourself over and over again, trying to find that blend. At some point, you don’t even know if the name will suit. For me, I would say the name Flavour was divine and I was meant to have that name,” he said.
“When I was thinking about a name to give myself, I thought about one crazy name. It was a long time ago. I named myself after my sister’s boyfriend because I liked the guy a lot. But it didn’t work out because the name didn’t work out musically.”
6. A gym rat
In addition to being acknowledged as a gifted musician, Flavour has also developed a reputation as a sexual icon. As a result of the chiseled body that the Enugu-born singer is not afraid to show off, he has been successful in attracting a large number of female fans.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he puts a lot of time into going to the gym in order to keep his physique toned and in good shape. According to him, whenever he travels for a show or concert anywhere in the world, he makes it a point to look for a gym as soon as possible so that he can stay in shape and present a good appearance for his fans.
7. Most embarrassing moment
Flavour’s most embarrassing moment as hilarious as it might sound might probably get you a tiny bit emotional. So the gist is that a long time ago during one of the comedy shows held annually in the country, the music star was called to perform at the end of the event.
What should have been one of his major breaks turned out to be one of the most embarrassing moments of his life instead. Flavour recalls that the moment he climbed onto the stage to perform, the entire audience immediately stood up and exited the venue. Because he had no other choice, he had to perform in front of a nearly empty auditorium… oops!
