Why I Opened ‘Amala’ Joint – Oritsefemi
Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi, says he opened a local restaurant in the Ajegunle area of Lagos to diversify his source of income and do something asides music.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, the ‘Double Wahala’ singer, while speaking about his career strides, said he has been able to sign new artistes to his record label.
“People say food is essential and I believe them. I know lots of people working towards their businesses. I decided to make a great place for people to come to have a great time,” he said.
“It’s called amala Worldwide. It’s something to not just do entertainment, I decided to do something aside from entertainment, something different from singing and dancing.
“…2020 is going to be a great one for me because I just got to sign some new fast-rising artistes. I would also be dropping a couple of music videos to be directed both in Nigeria and abroad.”
Oritsefemi had earlier made the headlines after he criticized internet fraudster (yahoo yahoo) in Nigeria for not being supportive of musicians like himself.
“Since I’ve known some of my yahoo friends, they’ve never helped me. If they can help me, I’ll agree,” the 35-year-old singer had said.
“We see artistes struggling but yahoo boys are out enjoying themselves. If they can help the industry, I’ll be happy.”
