Abass Akande Obesere, also known as Omo Rapala, is a native of Ibadan, Nigeria. A popular Fuji musician, Obesere forced his way into the limelight through his "radical" songs, which openly touch on issues that are considered taboo in the conservative Yoruba community. Following the paths of other successful musicians such as Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Obesere also has taken his own brand of Fuji music all over the world. He was initially signed with Sony Music but moved onto other labels after payment disputes. He is currently signed with Bayowa Records and Music, a Nigerian record label.
Let’s give it to this dude, the Fuji star and president of Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN), Abass Akande Obesere, remains the only one that has not followed the trends of marrying more than one wife in the Fuji industry unlike his colleague K1 De Ultimate.
Obesere as he’s fondly called attributed this to God but said, the fact that he has one wife today does not say he may not marry another one tomorrow.
Hear him, “It’s God that has done this and I know it is the way he wants it. I never vowed or went into a covenant with God that I would have only one wife so it has nothing to do with human wisdom but the grace of God. But I have not said that I will not marry another wife but I don’t have any plan like that; I have never given it a thought.”
And on how he cope with women; “I use wisdom to manage them. It’s not every time you give the flesh what it is asking for. You have to be careful as an artiste the way you handle women.”
Omorapala as he’s also called by fans is married to his wife and together they have five kids.
