In a remarkable turn of events, Nigerian singer Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit “Love Me Jeje” has journeyed from past rejection to present acclaim.
Initially overlooked by the Grammy Awards in 2004, the song has been revitalized through a 2024 rendition by acclaimed artist Tems.
This modern adaptation not only introduced the classic to a new generation but also earned the prestigious Best African Music Performance award at the 2025 Grammys. Sodimu’s original, which featured vocals by Shaffy Bello, has now secured its place in music history, highlighting the timelessness of its melody and the evolving appreciation of African music on the global stage.
