I Made Money From Love Nwantiti...Joeboy

 

Nigerian singer, Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, popularly known as Joeboy, has revealed that he made a lot of money from being featured on the remix of his colleague, CKay’s global smash, ‘Love Nwantiti’.

DAILY POST recalls that CKay remixed his hit song ‘Love Nwantiti’ with Joeboy and Ghanaian singer, Kwame Eugene in 2019.

Speaking on the latest episode of his audiovisual podcast, Body & Soul, Joeboy said he only accepted to be on the song because he likes CKay.

He said CKay asked him to jump on the song after someone else turned him down

He said, “The money Love Nwantiti gave me bruh, bruh that song changed the lives of everybody on it. That is one thing I always thank God for. Thank God, I actually jumped on that song. Anytime I play the song, I just dey happy say thank you my Gee (Ckay).

“CKay reached out to me that he was trying to get somebody on the song, but the person was not responding on time. That was like the end of 2019. To be honest, the only reason I jumped on that song was because I just like CKay. It wasn’t about the song. That time, I just blew up and everybody was trying to drag me for features.”

CKay’s ‘Love Nwantiti’ has over 2 billion combined streams across all platforms, with over 20 million units sold worldwide, according to Chart Data.

“Music was fun. Music has always been fun for me, which was another reason why I took a break; it stopped being fun.

“Ever since I was little, I always loved singing. I just listen to people’s music, and I just want to sing it. I didn’t think about creating mine until I was like 13. I actually just exchanged these people’s lyrics for mine. I still used their flows and rhythms. And that was when I started writing music.

“I started putting out music in 2012 when I got into the university. But my first major project was in 2016, titled ‘The Young, Black and Gifted’ EP.”
