Nigerian musician Dauda Kahutu Rarara, known for his Hausa songs, recently performed at a campaign event for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna. Rarara performed his song "Asiwaju for Asiwaju" (A4A) to entertain the large crowd. However, some attendees and social media users expressed concerns about his health during and after the event. Videos and images from the event showed Rarara's varying facial expressions.

The event, which was attended by APC leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu, faced some challenges due to the current economic hardship in the country. This led to speculation and rumors on social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook, about Rarara's well-being. Some users claimed that he was detained or that his phone was seized during the event. However, it appears that Rarara completed his performance without incident.

Rarara also recently performed at a freedom celebration event in Abuja. During this event, he was seen being helped by some young men after crossing a river. This incident has sparked further concerns about his health. The event took place at the Monaliza Park in Abuja, where Rarara was performing a song in praise of President Bola Tinubu.

According to reports, Rarara's performance at the APC event was uneventful, and he completed his set without any visible issues. However, the incidents at both events have raised questions about his health and ability to perform at a high level. The musician has a large following in Nigeria, particularly among Hausa music fans.

The concerns about Rarara's health have sparked a mix of reactions on social media, with some fans expressing worry and others dismissing the rumors. The incidents have also highlighted the challenges faced by musicians in Nigeria, particularly in terms of their physical and mental well-being.
