Popular comedian Real Warri Pikin finds herself in a difficult position after being compelled to apologise to her husband and fans over her viral interaction with singer Timaya during his performance at the 2026 AFRIMMA Awards in Dallas, United States.
The comedienne did not anticipate the reaction that followed her one-night stage appearance with the "Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa."
She is now widely visible online, explaining herself and apologising to her husband and fans. The controversy has also overshadowed her win on the night. She took home the award for Best Stand-Up Comedian, yet the conversation has centred on her stage moment with Timaya rather than her achievement.
In a video shared on her Instagram page, she explained that she was backstage while Timaya was performing when he invited a woman to join him on stage.
According to her, she rushed out because she enjoys a good performance and did not know that Timaya's routine involved bringing a woman on stage and lifting her.
She said she initially resisted when the singer asked her to jump on him, but eventually participated after he urged her not to spoil his performance.
The moment, which entertained those present at the event, drew criticism online after videos of it surfaced.
