Nigerian singer Waje has revealed that she was not paid for being the female voice behind P-Square’s 2007 hit song, “Do Me.”
Speaking on The Honest Bunch Podcast, the 45-year-old vocalist disclosed that despite lending her powerful voice to the track’s unforgettable chorus, she didn’t earn a dime for her contribution.
“I didn’t earn a dime from P-Square’s ‘Do Me’,” Waje said. “Imagine being in Onitsha market and telling people that’s my voice every time ‘Do Me’ is played, and they look at you like, who are you? They didn’t believe me.”
She explained that although the song helped launch her into the limelight, she was never officially credited or featured in the video. Waje added that she missed the video shoot because she didn’t have a passport at the time.
‘Do Me’ remains one of the standout tracks from P-Square’s third studio album, Game Over, and was a defining hit in the duo’s early career.
