Nigerian Entertainment News: “I Was Not Acknowledged”- Waje Opens Up About Her Role In Psquare’s Hit Song
Nigerian vocalist Aituaje Iruobe, popularly recognized as Waje, has candidly spoken about being sidelined after contributing to the success of the once-celebrated music duo, Psquare
The talented singer and proud mother of one shared her heartfelt story during an appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, where she reflected on her early struggles and memorable experiences in the entertainment industry.
Waje disclosed that she lent her powerful vocals to Psquare’s 2007 smash hit “Do Me, I Do You,” performing a notable part of the track—a fact many fans may have forgotten.
However, despite her key contribution, Waje revealed that she was neither financially rewarded nor given public recognition by Psquare for her effort on the iconic song.
The conversation briefly paused as she began to describe how she reacted after realizing she had been overlooked.
Sharing an emotional memory, Waje narrated how she once walked through Onitsha Market, hearing the song play loudly on speakers, and proudly told traders it was her voice on the track—only for them to respond dismissively, asking, “Who are you?”

@crco:”Wow I didn’t know it was her. You guys didn’t try at all. You better do the needful and pay her for her own contributions to this global hit song. Meanwhile as an aside I didn’t know Waje is Igbo.”
@avdo69:”Nigerian music industry runs on “use and forget.” Too many legends worked behind the scenes with zero credit.”
@waleobiz:”Do me I do you”; life ironically did her back. She deserved better.”
@BestEducreator:”That song alone gave her exposure and it is not about money n credits. That song was one of the reasons she went on to have her own career today too. That song exposed her to the world and Nigeria Market, then it was a privilege to be on her track with Psquare. I rest my case.”
