I heard this song a lot in Johannesburg. I didn't even know it was done by a Naija Boy.

Nigerian artists have been borrowing from SA lately in terms of sound and have been very successful with it.

I was shocked when I was in Jo'Burg and "Maradona" by Niniola was getting the place pumped up. The song has that Deep House we've come to associate with SA.

It's crazy to see. Nigerian artists are easier to market than South Africans largely due to the diaspora. Being Nigerian is actually now a "cool" thing especially within these Caribbean communities you see in NYC, DC and the rest.
