Day I used ‘juju’ to disappear — Veteran hip-hip star, African China makes shocking confession

Nigerian veteran singer Chinagorom Onuoha, popularly known as African China, has spoken up on how making music endangered his life.

The artist, while speaking in a recent episode of Beer Parlor Talk podcast, revealed that he was on the run from policemen, OPC and thugs in Nigeria.

African China claimed that they were out for him because he was making conscious music. He added that he ventured into traditional means of protection because he saw the urgent need to protect himself.

“I am a black belter. During my time, you need to know how to fight to survive in the music industry. I was not just learning martial art but also engaged in voodoo to protect myself. My life was in danger because I was making conscious music. I was running from police, OPC and Area Boys. Informants also helped me in escaping from the constant threats. OPC always tried to harass me even when I was performing but the audience always give me signals whenever they are coming. So, OPC thought I was using voodoo to disappear. I was always at alert,” he recalled.
