For some time now, some Hollywood actors and actresses have traced their roots to Africa. We have seen some of these American rappers and singers visiting Ghana and Nigeria, to mention a few.
Chris Brown showed his love for Africa by embracing the Yoruba culture of Nigeria.
Christopher Maurice Brown, a well-known R&B performer, dancer, and actor, recently posted a picture of his newly adopted Yoruba name 'Olugbenga', which most of his Nigerian admirers had created.
Many people think he is becoming more Nigerian than American because of how frequently he appears in Nigerian songs and because he has spoken in the Nigerian Pidgin.
Even though many American artists have worked with Nigerian musicians, Chris Brown appears to be the only one that consistently returns because of it. Chris Brown reportedly has always appreciated African music, even before it became the global phenomenon that it is now a Nigerian sound.
Wizkid featured Chris in his 2017 album “African Bad Gyal,”. One of Davido’s most popular tracks from his “A Good Time” album was assigned to him in 2019. Not to add his recent collaborations with Rema and Fireboy DML, as well as the announcement of his new Yoruba name, the only thing remaining, in the opinion of his supporters, is to get Nigerian citizenship.
