Deep London Sues Nigerian Artist
Nigerian musician Super Smada decided to hop onto the smash hit Hamba Wena and add a little Nigerian touch. He removed Boohle’s vocals and inserted his. His remix is titled Smada Eh.
Instead of the lyrics saying ‘Hamba Wena Hamba Haa’, Super Smada’s song goes ‘Smada eh, Smada Haa.’
