Mr Eazi explains origins of ‘Detty December’ at Accra concert

Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has revealed the origins of his popular December festival, “Detty December.”

Speaking at his Detty Rave concert in Accra, Mr Eazi said, “While working as a show promoter with my friends, I suggested that we call our December event ‘Detty December.’ Hashtag Detty December.”

He added, “So, in 2016, me and my guys invented Detty December. And Detty December is all about going back to your roots, having fun and enjoying life intentionally.”

According to Mr Eazi, the festival transcends individual celebrity. “Detty December is bigger than me. It’s bigger than anybody. Detty December is for all of us,” he said.

The annual event has since become a major cultural and entertainment phenomenon across West Africa, drawing fans from Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond.
