How Lagos upbringing influenced my music — Canada-based singer, Jumi
A singer based in Montreal, Canada, has said that her early days in Lagos have had a profound impact on her music career.
Speaking about her Nigerian heritage in an interview with Sunday Scoop, she said, “My entire family is from Lagos. As a matter of fact, we are the definition of ‘Lagosians’ if there is one. My upbringing as a typical Lagos kid involved a lot of activities and being outside. There was always one birthday, wedding or party happening every week. As kids, my siblings and I would look forward to those occasions where we could get to socialise with other kids. You can imagine the types of vibes that those parties were. Everyone was happy to be there, and they were always light and fun. The music was a huge part of that. I always felt compelled to do for people what I felt the music did for me and my siblings as kids.”
She also noted that many people in her family were music-oriented, which further shaped her into the artiste she had become.
The singer also stated that though she blends multiple afro-centric genres, she always made sure there was a balance.
“In everything one does, balance is key, and it comes relatively easy to me. It’s about channeling all the different aspects of the music I grew up loving and listening to. Even nowadays I feel like that subconscious ‘training’ I had while growing up in learning to appreciate different sounds for what they were has now become a part of me in the sense that I have such unconventional music tastes.”

The social media accounts, Facebook and Instagram of popular Nigerian musician and activist Eedris Abdulkareem have been suspended by the management of the microblogging site Meta.

Released under his label, Lakreem Entertainment, on TikTok on November 29, 2025, the song is described as both a message to the US President and a sharp critique of Nigeria’s political elite.
Abdulkareem describes Nigerian leaders as “criminals of all shades and hues” who enrich themselves while citizens suffer amid severe insecurity, including kidnappings, killings, and terrorism.
While singing “dem dey fear Donald Trump,” the rapper positions the song as an effort to bring global attention to Nigeria’s deepening crises.
