Mr Eazi Claims He Coined 'Detty December' Phrase

Nigerian singer and entrepreneur, Mr Eazi, asserts that he originated the term 'Detty December,' which has gained popularity as a term for festive celebrations during the Christmas period in Nigeria and Ghana. He mentioned that the idea for 'Detty December' came from wanting people to have fun and enjoy life during the holiday season.

The term sparked controversy in 2019 when Deola Art Alade, wife of musician Darey Art Alade, sought to trademark it, leading to backlash from Nigerians who viewed it as a cultural phrase rather than a corporate brand.
