FAST-RISING Afrobeat singer, Ganiyu Okanlawon Oluwo aka Positive Oluwo is currently making waves on the music scene with his latest single, Paparazzi.
The Sweden-based singer, who is presently in Nigeria to promote the new single since its release has been making tours of television channels and radio stations based on the success of the song.
Speaking on ‘Paparazzi,’ his fourth single, Positive Oluwo said the song was inspired by the need to address the fake lifestyles people showcase on social media while highlighting how it could affect lives and project wrong impressions.
“The inspiration behind ‘Paparazzi’ is the ongoing fake lifestyles trending on social media. And these fake lifestyles on social media are misleading other people to jump into conclusion that life is a bed of roses, making our young ones go into all sorts of evil associations and cults, just to join the bandwagon on social media,” he said.

“Paparazzi was written to speak to the minds of the young and old, to value their lives more than struggling to show off what they can’t really afford in real life, because it is misleading and destructive in the long run,” he added.
Positive Oluwo started music in 2011 after an encounter with Femi Kuti in faraway Denmark at the Roskilde Festival in 2011. He had come to watch the Afrobeat star with his friends all the way from Malmo, Sweden and it turned out to be a turning point in his life.
Positive Oluwo has three other singles to his name, namely; Eserere, Papa Dance, and Eserere remix (sax on the beat). He said he has a full album ready titled “26 hours of Magic” but has elected to release the tracks one at a time.
