It is currently trending on TikTok Nigeria as comedians like Sydney Talker and Brain Jotter, use the track for their hilarious acts, but did you know this song was released two years ago.
Sometimes it only takes one act to re-awake success, which is the case in this song for gospel singer, Chioma Jesus. While it was already well known, its 2.2 millions views – for the music video – on YouTube is surely going to see further rise as more comedians and others jump on the trend.
What is the song “Na God I dey Praise (Craze)” about?
The song is giving glory to God. The lyric “no be say I dey craze, na God I dey praise” translates to “it isn’t that I am crazy, it is God I am praising) which is saying while you may see me dancing, jumping, excited, overjoyed, looking like I am acting a fool, I am not crazy, I am actually worshipping and giving thanks to God.
Most Nigerian churches are Pentecostal where members are know to sing and dance heavily (and sometimes crazily) when worshipping God – it is this reference the comedians portrayed.
The song is written in English, Nigeria’s Pidgin English, and Igbo language. Listen to the song on YouTube here.
