King Sunny Ade Should Not Have Stood Up To Greet Ayra Starr -- Veteran Singer, Jazzman Olofin
Veteran Nigerian singer, Jazzman Olofin has bared his mind on the brouhaha generated over the exchange of greetings between 21-year old singer Ayra Starr and legendary juju maestro, King Sunny Ade.


Ayra Starr came under fire for the way she stood to give KSA a handshake as the septuagenarian stood up to greet her.


She has since apologised, blaming her actions on being nervous and not knowing he's the one.

Some netizens however did not feel impressed with her apology, pointing out that she shouldn't have called him Uncle as the veteran is old enough to be her grandfather.


Jazzman Olofin has now bared his mind on the incident.


He took to his Instagram page to write:


KSA WILL "FOOL" YOU ANYTIME , ANY DAY , ANYWHERE 


"In the viral video going round online showing Arya Starr greeting KSA, one would notice that out the four men sitting on the couch ONLY the legendary King Sunny Ade got up (half way) to greet Arya Starr in his usual gentlemanly manner. 


"Baba na legend of legends, baba no need to get up to greet ANYBODY, but Baba is an impeccable gentleman. Baba has seen it all and done it all in showbiz / entertainment internationally, but still Baba's humility remains unchanging. Baba will always greet you well and proper. Period. 


"My humble opinion is that Arya Starr (as a Yoruba girl), should be a bit careful of stretching out her hand first in readiness to shake hands when meeting elderly people, especially for the first time. It's better to generally respectfully bow a little, bend your knees a little and let the elderly stretch out their hands first in their own willingness to shake hands with you. 


"Anyways, our aunty Arya Starr has apologized and explained things. Anybody can make mistakes,( me sef inclusive 😊) . 

"So can we all we move on and let the music play on?? 🎢 🎀 πŸ•ΊπŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸ˜„.
