The magnitude of the turnout has sparked reaction on social media where fans commended the rapper for spotlighting Enugu state and eastern Nigerian through his music.
Since breaking into the mainstream, Jeriq has become one of the most sought-after voices in Nigerian music.
His distinguishing baritone and chest-thumping flows delivered in flowery Igbo language have made him a rapper of note.
Jeriq’s prowess was recognised by superstar rapper Phyno whom he credits as one of his biggest inspirations.
His landmark concert also is reminiscent of Phyno’s mega Phyno Fest concert that attracts multiple superstars to Enugu annually.
For the Nigerian music industry, Jeriq’s sold-out show in Enugu is a reminder of the potential that abound in the country where touring as a means of revenue is yet to be fully unlocked.
It also captures the vibrancy of hip-hop in the East where rappers like Jeriq and Aguero Banks are leading the fusion of Drill and indigenous music.
