Waje Reignites Storm Over P-Square’s Do Me Vocal Credit Dispute (Video)
By Benjamin Abioye
Award-winning Nigerian singer Waje has stirred public debate after reiterating that she received no payment or credit for her vocals on P-Square’s hit song Do Me, leading to a flood of mixed reactions from Nigerians online.
During a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast hosted by Daddy Freeze, the vocalist, who delivered the iconic hook on the 2007 classic, restated that she got neither compensation nor acknowledgment for her contribution, a claim that has resurfaced conversations about treatment of supporting artistes in the Nigerian music industry.
In the now-viral video, Waje explained that she was still trying to break into the industry at the time and accepted the situation because she wanted exposure. The revelation has sparked conversations around professional agreements, respect for contributors, and the historical practices within the entertainment scene.
Online users reacted widely to the revelation, many faulting the duo while others argued Waje benefited from the exposure.
