A backup singer of the late Nigerian Juju and Highlife musician, Iyun Ajilore, popularly known as Saint Janet, has explained why the singer moved from gospel Juju to songs with sexually explicit themes.
The backup singer, Sunkanmi, popularly known as Suko, said Saint Janet adopted the style after discovering that it attracted more audience engagement, bookings and money at social events.
Suko, who said he had known Saint Janet for more than 25 years, made this known in an interview with Alejo TV on Tuesday.
He said he first met the singer when she was still a backup singer for Nurse Kenge, while he worked as a freelance drummer.
“I have known Saint Janet before she started singing. She used to be a backup singer for Nurse Kenge. I was a drummer then, so I worked with different people. When she decided to stand alone and create her own band, I decided to follow her.
