Budding Nigerian musician Oluwagbemiro Samuel Toluwalase, popularly known as Samtee Gee, has revealed how he got the inspiration for his new single, ‘Ibukun’.
The track titled ‘Ibukun’ speaks about the human quest for success and wealth. In the song, Samtee Gee stressed on the importance of putting one’s trust in God while the hustle and bustle of life continues.
Samtee Gee, in a chat with respected entertainment journalist Adeyinka Oluwamayowa, stated that he was at a housing site where he was working as a labourer, carrying sand and cements for the bricklayers constructing the building when he got inspiration for the song, ‘Ibukun’.
The amazing talent said he had to lie to his supervisor to get few minutes for himself to memorise the lyrics so as not to forget. According to Samtee Gee; “I was in the site carrying sand and cement that day, I was so tired and sweating bitterly.”
“After sometime, this beautiful song just came into my brain. Immediately I went to supervisor, lied to him that I wanted to go and defecate, but it was the song I went to memorise to avoid forgetting it.”
Speaking further, Samtee Gee disclosed that the secret behind the song is to keep working very hard until we achieve success. He also emphasized on trusting God, who created us all and put the capacity to be great in us.
