The Yoruba rap legend has added another feather to his cap — this time, an American passport!
Veteran Nigerian rapper Olusegun Osaniyi, better known as Lord of Ajasa, has officially become a citizen of the United States of America. The iconic artist, who built his legendary career rapping in the Yoruba language, made the exciting announcement on his Instagram page, sharing a photo to celebrate this major life milestone.
Lord of Ajasa, one of the pioneering forces of indigenous Yoruba rap music in Nigeria, has long been celebrated for keeping the culture alive through his music. From the streets of Lagos to the corridors of America — this man’s journey is truly one for the books.
For many Nigerians, relocating abroad and eventually securing citizenship is considered a significant achievement, and the rap veteran is no exception. His fans and followers across Nigeria and the diaspora have been celebrating the news, showing love in the comment section as only Nigerians know how to do.
Lord of Ajasa rose to fame in the early 2000s, becoming a household name with his unique style of blending street-wise Yoruba lyrics with infectious beats. He remains one of the few artists who stayed true to indigenous language rap at a time when English-language hip-hop dominated the scene.
As Nigerians would say — “Omo, this one na levels!” Congratulations to Lord of Ajasa on this new chapter. From Ajasa to America — the journey continues!
