Recall that in November, TG had stated that he would want to film a music video for the popular song “Shey you dey whine me,” which has gained a tonne of popularity on social media.
According to TG, a tune with such widespread popularity deserves a spectacular music video to match, and he is eager to make it happen.
“I desperately need to meet that guy that sang that shey you Dey whine me song that song deserves a TG OMORI video cos what?!!!” the tweet reads.
The tik-tom viral song is an indigenous gospel song from South-South Nigeria by Austine Emmanuel who sings that nothing will stop him from praising God.
A catchy part of the single which uses the popular phrase “Shey you dey whine me?” caught attention on TikTok and quickly became a viral sound.
In an interview with Cool FM Port Harcourt, Autine De Bull who described himself as a worship leader who leads a team of indigenous worshippers revealed he sang the song to shut naysayers up.
During his interview, the singer, who speaks the Khana (kana) language of Ogoni land, said: “People never believed I could do this. Even when I met with many of them, they discouraged me by saying ‘you that have never sung before, how are you going to do it.”
Speaking on his naysayers’ reaction to his success, he said, “Currently, it’s playing in their ears.”
The young singer revealed that he had been in the music industry for over a decade before eventually taking to singing.
He said, “I’ve been making music since 2010, but I came into the music industry as a drummer. This is the first time I’m making music as a singer. I was surprised because I never expected it to go this big.”
He disclosed that the women who danced in the video were excited to know the song had gone far.
He said, “most of them are doing fine. It was fascinating for them.”
He explained that he now has a team managing him and would bring new content to keep the fire burning.
“I’m working harder to bring in new content, and everything is left within my management. I don’t have anybody yet that I want to collaborate (with). Hopefully, I’m still praying because it is Christain music. If it has not been confirmed divinely, I don’t want to jump over anything.’’
The singer derived the song’s title from the slang used by Nigerians to ask if they are being lied to or flattered in Pidgin. (“Are you kidding me?” or “Are you for real?”).
The Port Harcourt-based singer also confirmed that he believes the song is blowing up the airwaves because of the slang.
He said: “I think, for the most part, there is the popular or street slang ‘you dey whine me ni’. I feel that’s why most people love the song.”
