SOCIALITE OF THE WEEK: SPECIAL SPESH

Best known for the role he plays as Davido’s hypeman and close buddy, Special Spesh has carved a niche for himself as one of the most influential man in the Nigerian Music Industry.

 

Today we celebrate him as our Socialite of the Week in recognition of the impact he has had in helping to push through the Naija new school culture which currently controls the music industry.

These ‘new school’ which ‘Special’ is part of have taken Nigeria music international and made it cool. These days ‘A Listers’ abroad can be seen bumping to Nigerian songs. Days ago, Mayorkun’s song was played at an NBA game.

This is huge and we recognize the hardwork being put to export the Naija brand abroad.

Real name Edward Chukwuma Ijah Special Spesh is currently the Head of Corporate sponsorship for HKN.
