Reekado Banks out with a remix EP of “Ozumba Mbadiwe.”

Nigerian singer-songwriter Reekado Banks debuts a remix EP to his standout 2021 single “Ozumba Mbadiwe.” The EP features 5 different remix versions to the original single with Ghanaian singer KiDi, Nigerian singer Fireboy DML, Tanzanian Ray Vanny, South African Amapiano artiste and DJ Lady Du and Ivorian ELOW’N.

Speaking to THE FADER about what inspired the single, the singer said, “it is a song that captures multiple subject matters, but the most important is me paying homage to the victims of the #EndSars protest massacre, I was one of the protesters at Lekki Toll Gate during the #EndSars protests. I was actually present at the protest ground for 2 days in a row, but I left because I had to travel. So the massacre at the Toll Gate by the Nigeria army was very personal for me, because it happened less than 48 hours after I left and I couldn’t shake off the feeling. The song also addresses fans who have been asking about my time away from music. My response to that question through this song is that I’ve been busy like the Ozumba Mbadiwe expressway.”
