Waje Says She Sang P-Square’s Hit ‘Do Me’ Without Credit Or Payment
Singer Waje has opened up about being the uncredited female voice behind P-Square’s 2007 hit ‘Do Me’, revealing she never received any payment for her contribution. On the HonestBunch Podcast with Daddy Freeze, the 45-year-old said, “I didn’t earn a dime from P-Square’s ‘Do Me’.” Waje, whose real name is Aituaje Iruobe, performed the song’s famous chorus but was not officially acknowledged on the track. She recalled the disbelief she often faced when claiming her role in the song: “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.” The singer, who rose to fame in the mid-2000s thanks to her contribution to the hit, also noted that she was absent from the music video because she did not have a passport at the time. ‘Do Me’ was one of the standout tracks from P-Square’s third studio album, Game Over. The twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye ruled the African music scene with numerous hits before their split in 2016 over personal and managerial differences.
