He is the very
person we know as Daddy Fresh and we love him to bits. Mention the real name of
the Ajegunle maestro, Innocent Michael Onyemuwa, and somebody is very likely
wonder who you’re talking about.
The handsome, “Elerugberu
e” crooner, who hails from Abia State, Ikwuano Local Government sure owes his fans an explanation on
why he has been off the screens for some time, and in musical exile.
To this he laughs
and says: “Not an exile really; let’s use a better word and say Daddy Fresh went
back to the drawing board and I have been there at the backdrop, still doing
music in and out of Nigeria and music is still it. I am back fully now and
dropping a single now.”
According
to Sunday Sun, an encounter with the popular singer, who gave
us a peek at his sheet of favourites. Excerpts…
Tell
us your favourite food.
As an African, my
favourite food ranges from our local fufu to rice and plantain. I just love
Nigerian dishes, particularly soups like ofe achara, ofe okazi, ofe oha, eaten
with fufu or garri.
How
about your favourite colours?
My favourite
colour has always been blue and white. I love sky blue and I love white too.
Sometimes, I like to mix the two colours in my outfits.
Favourite
outfit?
I love the sporty
look and sometimes, I like to go corporate.
Favourite
world leader?
Though, the one I
would have mentioned is not alive now, Nelson Mandela, but United States
President Barack Obama is a good leader. But if you ask me to name a perfect
world leader, I would readily mention late Nelson Mandela.
Favourite
friend?
That is my wife.
Drink?
I like champagne,
as we don upgrade na.
Fashion
gadgets?
I cannot really
place my finger on any one in particular now. I love them all. I love the
blings and I like it very smart. I love jewellery and crazy shoes, and these
differentiate me from the ordinary man in the street.
Your
favourite hangout spot?
When I am in
Nigeria, I am a very private person, anyway. When I am not out there on stage,
I like keeping it cool with my family and sometimes we do one or two moves. I
like getting along with nature all the time.
Your
favourite car?
I like it big oo!
All the while, I have always driven SUVs. I have never driven a saloon car.
Favourite
sport?
That is football.
I grew up loving it and I played it to an extent. Till date, I love football. I
am a Gunner. Arsenal is my club, in England, and in Spain, that is Barcelona.
Favourite
comedian?
All of them, but
I want to give it to my friend that we grew up together with and that is Ali
Baba. I like him so much because he has been keeping it cool.
TV
personality?
I like Frank
Edoho of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I love a host of them but I can always
talk about those I am very close to. Internationally, I must confess that I
have always been a fan of Oprah Winfrey’s show.
How
about your favourite quote?
This is it: “Dem
no dey tell deaf man say war don start”. Yeah, that is my favourite quote.
You can also remember that in Elerugberu e.
