The king of Naija R’n’B has dropped another banger. Adekunle gold released official video for Ogaranya on 14th July 2023 and in its 6 weeks of release, it has already attracted 1.3 million views.
What does the word ogaranya mean?
In Nigeria’s Igbo language, there is the word oga which means boss. People use it daily to refer to their managers and rich men. In this song, Adekunle is referring to rich men. The “ranya” added to it makes it a slang emphasising the richness of the boss.
What is the song all about?
Adekunle is singing about his riches, that he is on a “new level” of easy money and life is all bout now “living da vida loca” so when you see him smile just show him love (and he might return the favour).
