Waje has disclosed that she was the uncredited female voice behind P-Square’s 2007 hit ‘Do Me’, and revealed she received no payment for her contribution
On the HonestBunch Podcast with Daddy Freeze, the 45-year-old vocalist said, “I didn’t earn a dime from P-Square’s ‘Do Me’.”
Waje, whose real name is Aituaje Iruobe, sang the song’s memorable chorus but was never officially credited or featured.
She recounted the disbelief she faced when trying to claim ownership of her voice in public: “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 rose to prominence in the mid-2000s largely because of her contribution to the track, which became a nationwide hit. Waje has also explained that she was not part of the song’s video shoot because she didn’t have a passport at the time.
‘Do Me’ was one of the standout tracks from P-Square’s third album, Game Over.
The duo, consisting of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, ruled the African music scene with a string of hits before splitting in 2016 due to personal and managerial disputes.
