OMG! I Got to Meet Nigerian Singing Sensation LAGBAJA!!!

The photo above is self-explanatory! I still can't believe it myself. Like...it really happened. I don't know anyone who has met Lagbaja. Multi- award winning Afrobeats sensation, Lagbaja held a U.S tour this summer and it was a Break Your Bones, Shake Body Madness movement!!! It was his first time back in the United States after over 10 years!
I was fortunate enough to meet him and his crew. The initial plan was for me to intern for them and organize a meet-up. Due to his short stay after his first show in Louisiana, there was no time for me to hold the event because he would have been delayed for his next show. I was then invited to attend his Jazz Festival performance and I was ecstatic. I was screaming like a mad woman when I was on the phone with his manager! I was too happy and praying that his manager wouldn't hang up the phone...lol...he didn't! Praise the Lord!
When my sister and friend got to the location, we had a front view to watch the performance. Now, you know that meant only one thing: FREE MADNESS! Lagbaja and his band were PHENOMENAL. I couldn't contain myself from the first beat that was dropped till the last and my friend refused to stop abrupt movements to the music. My sister who BARELY ever dances couldn't help herself. Her body was out of control as well. The whole crowd was jumping, dancing and shaking their booty (as encouraged by Lagbaja). Lol. I'm being honest when I say that this was the best performance I have ever been to in my life. I have been to various concerts and I'm not saying it because I'm Nigerian. I felt so blessed to be in the midst of his music singing along with him and embracing our culture all at the same time.
After the event, we were invited to go back stage and personally meet him. My whole body was sweating and makeup had melted. It wasn't cute. Lol. I was so embarrassed, but just being back there helped to quickly end all the nervousness. Lagbaja and his crew were so humble, cheerful and amazing company to be around. We got to take pictures and make videos with them. It was a beautiful experience. He totally made this the best summer ever! #TeamLagbaja #TeamKonkoBelow

 

My sister and I thought this police officer was super hot! His partner heard us and she totally agreed. She was giggling with us. He found us after the show and asked us if we had time to take a photo with him because he heard that we wanted one. (I know he thought we were FYN! See his hand on my waist. Lol) How sweet though!!! I love you police lady!
