Olamide Defends Use of Ose Dudu at Movie Screening

Nigerian rapper Adedeji, known as Olamide, shared his views on Ose Dudu, a traditional black soap, during a private screening of a movie produced by his friend and actress Sotayo Gaga on November 3. Olamide defended the use of Ose Dudu, which is linked to Yoruba heritage, despite its association with spiritual practices.

He emphasized his pride in embracing his culture and stated that he would not hesitate to use the soap if offered. Ose Dudu is recognized as a traditional African skincare product, although some versions are prepared for specific spiritual purposes, leading to controversy.

Olamide's comments reflect his strong identification with his Yoruba roots and his belief that cultural heritage should be celebrated rather than shunned.
