Joeboy Extols A Music Legend In His New Song (Osadebe)
Following his exit from ‘Empawa Record Label’ and the establishment of his own record label, Young Legend – Joeboy, has released his first single titled ‘Osadebe’ under his own record label.
‘Osadebe’ is an insightful song that has lyrical message on self-reflection and positive affirmations, and it’s produced by K-Dreamz. The song has a special mention to late Chief Osita Osadebe’s hit single ‘Osondi Owendi’, which is an evergreen song that transcends language barriers, with a status as one of the most popular songs in Nigeria.
“I no dey cross my lane, I’m living like Osadebe, I like the song of Osadebe titled ‘Osondi Owendi’, which means ‘One man’s treasure is another man’s trash’,” Joeboy said this on the launch of his new song – and he also restated his commitment to living on his terms. It’s Joeboy’s desire, for a future that inclines to his vision, that has led to the attainment of his own record label, Young Legend, and his going into a ‘partnership’ with Warner Music.
“The fact is, you can do things on your own terms and stay on your path and achieve the same, or even better results than other people living loudly. I am my biggest competition. I really don’t care what others are doing. The only person that I’m focused on is me’, said Joeboy – on his new single.
Joeboy has been widely criticized for preferring to live a quiet life away from media space and superstar-fanfare. Meanwhile, in his new song ‘Osadebe’, Joeboy re-affirms his desire to keep a quiet lifestyle while his music and success do the talking.
Joeboy has been at the realm of prominence in the Nigerian music industry since he broke into limelight in 2019 with his hit single ‘Baby’. As an aftermath of his 2 albums, 2 EPs, and multiple hit-songs, ‘Osadebe’ now kicks off what is expected to be another remarkable year for Joeboy.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
