Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, widely known as Mr Eazi, has stated that he originated the phrase “Detty December,” which is now commonly associated with festive celebrations during the Christmas season in Nigeria.
Addressing fans at his Detty Rave concert in Accra, Mr Eazi said he came up with the term while working as a show promoter in Ghana.
He added, however, that the concept of “Detty December” has grown beyond him and now belongs to everyone.
“While working as a show promoter with my friends, I suggested that we call our December event ‘Detty December.’ Hashtag Detty December.
“So in 2016, me and my guys invented Detty December. And Detty December is all about going back to your roots, having fun and enjoying life intentionally. Detty December is bigger than Mr. Eazi. It’s bigger than anybody. Detty December is for all of us,” he said.
