Now let's meet Nigerian-born artist Tommy Kuti who is a well-known rapper in Italy. In 2017, he was signed up by US record label, Universal and then pursued his own music career as an independent artist. He recently released a new song called Mofejaye, a mix between Afrobeat and Amapiano, which aims to uplift and empower others. He dropped by the Âé¶¹Éç office and spoke with our reporter, Stefania Okereke on what it is like to grow up in Italy as a black Italian artist. (Picture: Tommy Kuti. Credit: @spartaco._)
