Veteran Nigerian rapper Olusegun Osaniyi, popularly known as Lord of Ajasa, has officially become a United States citizen, attracting congratulatory messages from fellow musicians, music producers and fans.
The pioneer of mainstream Yoruba-language rap announced the milestone on Wednesday by sharing photographs and videos of his celebration on Instagram.
In one of the videos, the rapper was seen holding his American citizenship certificate, while another photograph showed him posing with his wife alongside the United States flag.
His announcement generated excitement among fans and entertainment personalities, many of whom took to the comment section of his post to congratulate him on the achievement.
Renowned music producer and founder of Coded Tunes, Olumide Ogunade, popularly known as ID Cabasa, congratulated the rapper, writing, “Congratulations Lord Oshi.”
Lord of Ajasa responded by thanking him.
Singer Abolore Akande, better known as 9ice, also celebrated the development, describing it as a moment worth congratulating. The rapper equally acknowledged his message.
Lord of Ajasa remains an influential figure in the history of indigenous Nigerian hip-hop. He was among the early artistes who brought Yoruba-language rap into the mainstream Nigerian music industry, paving the way for subsequent indigenous rappers, including Dagrin, Olamide and Reminisce.
His songs, such as Le Fenu So, Esha Lo Bade and Mai Lo, remain memorable among fans of Yoruba hip-hop.
The rapper's acquisition of American citizenship marks another milestone in his personal life, with fans and colleagues continuing to celebrate his achievement and recognise his contributions to Nigerian music.
