Fans react to the video
Fans wasted no time weighing in. @ManQzulu saw right through the video, commenting simply:
"Acting!"
Another user, @general1185, said:
"You should've waited for the t-shirt to get wet at least. Not everyone is from Lagos."
@Ziipho__ commented:
"You can tell he just got out the car."
@McUngu criticised the strategy, posting:
"He's punishing himself instead of pushing his events."
@teezyworldwide said:
"LOL the t-shirt looks very dry like someone who just got out of the car."
One user, @phunyas1, remembered Cassper Nyovest's earlier days, saying that the rap titan used the same strategy. He commented:
"Straight from the book of Cassper. He did this when he was pushing Fill Up the Dome."
@siyandaqwane at least complimented the acting, writing:
"Good actor."
@MzoEastLondon analysed the situation, stating:
"He got out, then they reversed their car and started taking the video. After taking it, he threw the wet flyers away and got back in the car. Once inside, he drank a hot cup of coffee."
@ArtSetshedi saw it in a similar way. He commented:
"He literally just got out of that car. We support the hustle, though."
Another user, @simmytweetss, had a lower level of tolerance, posting:
"So annoying!"
Is Aymos married?
Aymos' wedding picture had previously went viral, prompting speculation about the musician's sexuality among fans and marital status.

The picture was shared on the microblogging platform X by a user by the handle @KasiboySA.
