Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele better known as Oritse Femi, has released the video of his hit song Igbeyawo. Directed by Unlimited L.A, the song is woven around a wedding, chronicling the activities and expectations of men in Nigeria during weddings.
Rendered in Yoruba language, the danceable and mellifluous song reiterates the need for men to be up and doing when it comes to their responsibilities as husbands, and urges wives to be obedient, and patient with their spouses, whilst praying that they be blessed with children.
The singer, songwriter, and performer who calls his brand of music Reality or Conscience music, posits that his music touches the feelings of listeners. As he puts it, “It is a kind of music that arouses the consciousness of reality in people. . .
So, whether I am singing about ladies, money, or other issues in the society, it always arouses the consciousness of reality.” The award-winning singer had quite a number of nominations before winning the Headies in 2014; Most Popular Song of the Year at the City People Awards, as well as Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 2014 Nigerian Entertainment Awards.
He has done a number of collabos in the course of his career, with the likes of 2Face, the late Dagrin, and Davido, but his 2014 collabo with Kokomaster Dbanj for the remix of the song Double Wahala won him awards.
The Ajegunle, Lagos-born crooner has come a long way from his humble beginnings, as he is believed to have made N60 million from shows in 2014 alone.
