Remember that Soundcity VeeJay that seems to always have too much
*Ororo* on his lips whenever he comes on TV to entertain us? Oh yes..
DJINEE! Bad guy that made my Ex think she could sing (chick was always
singing ‘Ego’ off-key in the bathroom and all). That track was and
DJINEE! Bad guy that made my Ex think she could sing (chick was always

still is very infectious. I need not mention the monster hit –
Overkillin that had the Choc boiz blaze the track with their dope
lyrics
DJINEE (real name Osayamen Nosa Donald), who is
obviously one amongst a few good Nigerian acts who know their onions.
He has a hit album to his name, and several notable awards to his
credits and I made him answer one question that has always been on my

mind for a long time..
Enjoy:
Did Ego really exist or it was just some random name you chose for
your hit single (which I still listen to by the way)?
*Laughs* Thanks for keeping the song alive. Ego was a figment of my
imagination. I’m a writer. I create character and give life to them.
Give them a story. But to do, that I take elements of people’s
experiences. Not necessarily mine.
When I hear Din-Din, first thing that comes to my mind is fried
Potatoes. Don’t blame me, I like food. So what does Din-Din mean?
*laughs* When a child is genuinely happy and grateful, he/she shows
uncontrollable joy. Sometimes he/she makes unintelligible sounds that
tell the joy inside. Sometimes they go like din din din din din. So
I’m going back to that child-like innocent gratitude. Sincerely
grateful for where I am, No matter what I’m going through and telling
everyone to do the same. So we all go like din din din din.
Like, what if Music fails you, what would you do? Or you got
something you do on the side?
Music won’t fail me. But all the same, I’ve learnt to invest. I won’t
wanna tell everyone my back-up plans, would I? *laughs*
What inspires your lyrics. Especially songs like ‘I no dey shame’ and
‘Overkillin’. They sort of sound like they were personal experiences.
For I no dey shame, I was trying to sing about unconditional love.
I’ve had friends strung on drugs and fighting their various evils. I’m
just saying we should love them anyway. As for overkillin, that was
really personal. I don’t tell people lies in my music. I want everyone
to know that I have fallen many times, made bad decisions but I’ve
always risen again and again.
It took him like 4 years since he started professionally, for you him to
drop his self-titled album in 2009.
He released Ego and things went sour between me and the label I was
signed with. So it was a shock doing things for myself since I was
prepared and they were the ones supposed to be helping. So I stuck to
releasing singles every 2yrs or so. But now I’m very prepared. I’ve
been recording since 2009. So my fans will not be starved of my music
again.
When’s the next album dropping?
Hopefully, second quarter 2012.
