Amid
rollercoasting fanfare, grandeur and hype the Guinness Brand
Ambassadors surprised and celebrated their own #madeofblack heroes in
Lagos and Enugu recently. While Olamide identified Tunde Adebanjo aka
Euro as his #madeofblack hero, Phyno celebrated Mr. Macdonald Ikem
Odenigbo aka DJ Good Noise as his.
Visiting
their heroes at their homes amid fanfare and pageantry, the duo
explained the rationale behind their choices. Olamide and Phyno stated
that it was important to recognize someone with a clear passion for
creativity, sacrifice and zeal to make a difference.
According to Olamide, Adebanjo was celebrated “because of his selfless contribution to humanity and the society. He has done a lot for his community and environment and that is what the Made of Black campaign is all about; redefining black not as a colour but as an attitude that inspires individuals, charging them to greater feats. Adebanjo is my hero; he is made of more, made of attitude, made of swag; simply he is made of black”.
For Phyno, Mr. Odenigbo is worthy to be celebrated because he is bold. He is a determined individual, who inspires others to greatness. Odenigbo, a music producer, rapper, director and a disc jockey is one of the originators of Igbo rap in the 1990s. With degrees in Mass Communication and Psychology, he has worked with the many hip hop artistes including: Tuface Idibia, Nigga Raw, Smart Man, Ill bliss and Obiwon.
The event was spiced by the presence of Ehiz, Doris Simeon, Seyi Law, DJ Xlusive,and DNMT, Nigeria’s top dance group.
