BNXN, Seyi Vibez and Kizz Daniel have dropped a banger that has hit 2.6 million in just two weeks.
The song has an upbeat mix of pop, rap, and Afrobeats with Nigeria language, Yoruba, often used interchangeably with pidgin English.
What is the meaning of Gwagwalada
Gwagwalada is a place in the Federal Capital City (FCT) in Nigeria that was created on 15 October 1984. As at 2006 it had over 158,000 occupants until the government moved its headquarters to Abuja in the same FCT, the place now has over a million people.
What the song Gwagwalada is about
Overall, the music is a feel good song that does not make sense particularly with Kizz Daniel’s intro, outro and Seyi Vibez’s part however the chorus does.
The chorus surrounds BNXN (or a guy) who was travelling from F.C.T capital, Abuja, to Gwagwalada when someone claimed he hissed at them. Suggesting that’s not the case, he goes on to say he cannot force anything else if situation is already beyond his control, so instead he just going relax, rolls up smoke and enjoys himself in Gwagwalada.
