For a while now, life with Lagbaja, the masked man has been so terrible. The advent of hip-hop in Nigeria actually led to his musical misfortune.
When he started out, not many people were disposed to his kind of song then but due to the fact that the competition was not stiff, Lagbaja was reigning supreme until hip hop came him through the Remedies etc.
Despite all kinds of stunts displayed by him in his videos etc, his relevance was dropping by the day as the global acceptability of hip hop forced him to leave for America, yet it didn't get it right unlike before and life, we learnt, became so unbearable for him.
Today, Lagbaja, the Afro-beat singer, song writer, instrumentalist that was been inspiring minds with his powerful style of music since 1993
“finally reveals the face behind the mask.”According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s facelessness. Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means “nobody in particular”. It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”. The mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa. He is also known as
“Omo baba mu’ko mu’ko”Often his music is purely instrumental- an interplay between traditional Yoruba percussion, drums, chants, western instruments, and especially the saxophone.
When there are lyrics, they are primarily sung in Yoruba, English or a blend of the two as is colloquially spoken in Yoruba cities. Many of his songs dwell on serious social issues, while others simply entertain.
If truly this is
“Omo baba mu’ko mu’ko”He is indeed handsome..

2.THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TOPIC OF THIS r*****h THREAD AND LAGBAJA TAKING OFF HIS MASK.They said "HipHop forced him to remove the mask"..FOR WHAT,TO DO A COLLABO?
3.IF HIS CAREER HAS 'FAILED' AS THEY PUT IT,WHY WOULD HE WANT TO REVEAL HIMSELF?
4.AND WHO ARE THEY TO SAY THE MAN'S CAREER HAS FAILED..BECAUSE OF HIPHOP?SHORTSIGHTED AND LAUGHABLE
5.ALL THEY WANTED WAS A STORY TO MAKE U CLICK AND IT WORKED

Lagbaja Fan | 10/15/2012 4:18:26 PMYou Nigerian journalists are pure f**ls. You i***ts are comparing Lagbaja's music to Hip Hop, not only laughable very s****d. If you do not know Lagbaja is still one of the highest paid musicians in Nigeria. s****d people like u confuse being in the news and doing many shows with success. Which is better get paid 100,000 to do 10 shows or get 7 million for one show.
Pure f**ls. I hate Nigerian journalist because they right s****d stories with no credibility. Like this is really Lagbaja
