British rapper Skepta is now a chief. He was granted the title on Wednesday during his visit to Nigeria.
Skepta, also called Joseph Junior Adenuga, donned the traditional Agbada and was flanked by elders at the ceremony that saw him become the Amuludun of Odo Aje.
In a post on Instagram, Skepta expressed his gratitude to the elders and the community of Odo Aje for the title and the love they showed him. He also promised to continue to support the community and Nigeria.
The rapper who started his career in 2003 joins other musicians with chieftaincy titles including Dbanj, who was given the title early in 2018 of Enyi Ka Nwanne of Amuzi Obowo of Imo state. Also on the list are Tonto Dikeh (Adadioranma of Nollywood), John Okafor (Akaekpuchi Onwa Of Nollywood), and Femi Branch (Agun Asa of Edeland).
