Nigerian singer Joeboy revealed that his music gained popularity in Uganda before it did in Nigeria. The “Beginning” hitmaker performed at Lavida Rave at Lugogo Hockey Grounds on Saturday, July 27.
According to Joeboy, who performed in Uganda for the second time, his first trip outside of Nigeria was to perform in Kampala at the Malembe Block Party in 2019. “I feel East Africa,” Joeboy told the audience at the Lugogo Hockey Grounds during the Lavida Rave, which he headlined. “The last time I came here, I had one song to perform. Now I have more than 20.”
Shortly after his trip to Kampala in August 2019, the founder of the Young Legend record label released “Beginning.” Since then, he has released several massive hits, including “Show Me,” “Wetin Be Love,” “Cubana,” “Likkle Riddim,” “Duffel Bag,” “Contour,” “Baby,” “Call,” “Don’t Call Me Back,” “Focus,” “Lonely,” “Osadebe,” and “All for You,” all of which he performed at the Lavida Rave over the weekend.
The singer, whose real name is Joseph Akinwale, also performed the remix of “Nana” with Joshua Baraka. The remix of Baraka’s breakout song also features Bien and King Promise.
The Lavida Rave was enlivened by various activities, including DJ battles and games. EM That Guy faced off with Eyo Mackus, and both secured Uganda Airlines tickets to any destination of their choice, with Mackus winning a business class ticket and That Guy an economy class ticket. DJ Hady competed with Lynda Ddane for the same prizes as the aforementioned spinmasters, with Ddane emerging victorious.
