Hello! Do you remember that viral song by Ycee, titled Jagaban? Okay! Did you also know that he later released a remix to the song, featuring #YBNL boss, Olamide? Now, that is where we have to come in, ‘cos Olamide yaff painted the song with Yoruba. Below, find the translation and meaning of the Jagaban’s Remix, by Ycee, featuring Olamide.
NOTE: Jagaban meaning comes from a very popular slang in Lagos, originally from the underworld, the cultist, the area boys, the yahoo boys, the boss of bosses. It is a nickname the kingpins christen themselves, as it carries a fearful meaning. Speaking of boss of bosses, the founder and key figure (Mr Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State), in the ruling political party (APC) was also given (by the people) the name Jagaban, owing to his influences, fame, and front-liner; and successfully being the key leader of the first party in Nigeria to beat the incumbent President (party), in an election.
