British born Nigerian rapper, Joseph Junior Adenuga known as Skepta in entertainment circles has been given a chieftaincy title in Nigeria.

The rapper, who has been in Lagos for a few weeks now, was today conferred with a Chieftaincy title – Amuludun Of Odo-Aje in his hometown in Ijebu Ode, Ogun sate.

The MC has been in Nigeria for a "Homecoming" concert, which he invited the likes of J Hus, Not3s, Wizkid and Davido to perform at.

His chieftaincy title is "Amuludun of Odo Aje", which literally means the "Chief Entertainer of Odo Aje".

"I am honoured and will continue to put time and love into Nigeria, especially the community of Odo Aje," Skepta, who was born in north London, said.


The grime artist has spent a lot of time in Nigeria over the past few years, performing at festivals and putting on his own shows.
