Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele, also known as Oritsefemi, has declared that he is the godfather to Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido in the industry.

He said this in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, insisting that he encouraged the trio to do music.

“I had already made money (from the music industry) when some people were sleeping (yet to come into limelight)

“Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, so many of them [young artists], I encouraged them. I’m like their godfather.

“Even some female celebrities who are now trolling me on social media, I accommodated them in my mansion in Lekki back in the days. Even Burna Boy, I once accommodated him.”

Oritsefemi is best known for his remake of Fela Kuti’s “Double Wahala” song, which earned him the award for Most Popular Song of the Year in the 2014 City People Entertainment Awards.
