It is said that one’s dressing is the quickest and easiest description of who one is. It is also said that the way one is dressed is also the way he would love to be addressed. Whichever way, fashion is the way you define it. People dress the way they do for different reasons. Some dress to make an impression, some dress to attract the opposite sex, some dress to please themselves, while others just dress because it is sane to have their bodies covered. Let us go into the Nigerian music industry and check out how some of the geeks there dress.
P square- Unarguably the most glamorous duo in the music industry, they debuted multi-coloured leather jacket/pants, face caps and do-rags. They displayed a great show of éclat by their traditional b-boy dress code and this endeared them to more fans. Lately, there’s been a considerable maturity in their dressing. These days, they usually go on hats, Blazers, face caps, T shirts and Jeans for casual functions. You may come close to out dressing them but you can’t beat their colour combo
D’banj- With his slightly built physique, most ladies agree he is the artist with the highest sex appeal. Lately, he can be seen on stage with his customized koko wears in videos and social functions. He is usually cladded in brightly coloured T’s with jeans to match and luxury sneakers. He looks best at corporate events where he gets heads turning with his finely cut button up shirts, tucked into neatly sewn pair of trousers or slim-fitted suits to go with Italian shoes. He is also a lover of the blings. He flosses varieties of carat jewels Gucci, Jacob the jeweller etc. You can crown him Naijas number one “stunna” from his unrivalled crush for designer Shades arranging from Ferragamo, D&G, Prada etc
Naeto C- Many may not know him but he’s one of the newest MCs making strong and intimidating fashion statements in the industry. You can tell by his impeccably trendy persona in his video” You know my P”, where he is well dressed in ravishing shirts and suits. From his appearance on stage and cameos in different videos like Dare’s “Carry Go” remix. It can be said that this dude has great flair and panache in terms of fashion.
Pasuma- He didn’t just stop at just being Fuji music’s funkiest and most polished artist, lately he’s been able to strike the interest of fashion observers across the country. Unlike most of his contemporaries in the Fuji genre, he stands out in a class of his own by wearing top designer clothing like Versace, Armani etc. Due to his recognition as a fashion icon, he was one of the celebs on the line up at Ronke Apampa’s “stars on the runway”, he went on to exude his agility for fashion at the “celebrity dance” reality TV show. He has also featured in great style on series of hip hop songs and videos like Olu Maintain’s “yahoozee”.
Mr. Solek- He’s one of Nigeria’s most known musicians based in the UK. His success in fusing different genres of music into having his own distinct style has earned him much success. The creativity that is evidenced in his music is also reflected on his dressing style. HE APPEARS RADIANTLY IN Shiny suits and hats or blazers, button-ups and fitting pants. Apparently he is the type that takes great care and time shopping and selecting the perfect fashion items to adorn him.
Don Jazzy- A producer of high standards, he puts his finesse in the music game into his dressing, making him a force to reckon with when you talk fashion. Being a quiet person, his dressing speaks a lot for him. he can hardly be spotted publicly without his new-era fitted hats on. He is into XL large hiphop Ts. Occasionally, he flavours his outfits with zipper jackets and adorns various expensive 3quarters and baggy trousers. He steps his game up with his fresh collection of designer kicks. With his neck and wrists ever gleaming from jewels like cartier, jacobs etc. It's obvious he spends great fortune on looking good
Olu Maintain- He was known for wearing XL sport jersies which back then were the coolest gears. Rather than moving with the flow, he’s invented his own clothing style which he calls “Kentro wears”. This is somewhat a reinvention of the shirt-trouser-tie formal dress code, to an all new outfit of button-ups and ties flopping down the shoulder rather than going around the neck. His double-waisted pants is also a delectable discovery. He wears the best shoes money can buy and adorns his neck with expensive jewels
Tony Tetuila- The nickname “Golden boy” may have not been coined because he is shining at the moment but probably because of his signature look. He was known with gold-tint rough coils. Overtime, he has transformed the hairdo into dreadlocks and later braids. Aside the hairdo, he never hesitates to reveal his class and opulence through his physical appearances. From observation, he is a lover of fitted bright coloured designer T-shirts and button ups. He is one of those that still find pleasure and comfort in the Timberland boots. owing to his cool calm lifestyle, he remains one ladies cannot get enough of.
Dare Art Alade- He is rated amongst the best dressed for his casual but pungent dress code. He is mostly in T-shirts, pants and sneakers which come in various range of top class designers and go for exorbitant prices not so much into jewelries but has a flair for sunglasses.
Saucekid- though he is not fully based in Nigeria, he makes his fashion impression felt at any occasion he graces. He’s one of the few heads that represent hip hop fashion to the full. From rocking-gold accessories to iced-out grills. If he is not wearing a new era fitted . he’d be trying a doo-rag or just showing off his hair-style. He wears fashionably extra large T’s flowing over 3quarters or baggy jeans and pimped kicks. Just like most Celebs, Saucekid does the shades too, usually Versace.
