Afrobeats singer Davido has paid homage to his late colleague, Sound Sultan, in the music video of his hit song, 10 Kilo.
The video, directed by Director Pink, featured scenes with a
backdrop of Sound Sultan’s picture and plus-size models dancing in front of the
banner.
Davido’s 10 Kilo, which honours plus-size women, has similar
lyrics to Sound Sultan’s hit song Orobo, which also celebrated plus-size women.
Sound Sultan released a remix version of Orobo with Flavour
in 2013, and the song dominated airwaves in Nigeria and West Africa.
Since Sound Sultan died of cancer in July 2021, a
cross-section of Nigerian artists, including 2Face, Burna Boy, Spyro, Sean
Tizzle, and several others, have paid tributes to him on different occasions.
Sound Sultan is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern
Afrobeats music, with hits such as Jagabantis, Natural Something, Ole, Kokose,
Orobo, Very Good Bad Guy, and others helping to popularise the genre.
