Nigerian singer, Ekenedirichukwu Ijemba, popularly known as Humblesmith, has shared the story behind the inspiration for his hit song ‘Osinachi.’

Humblesmith rose to prominence in 2015 when he released ‘Osinachi’ featuring Phyno, which was followed by the remix of the song, featuring Davido.

During a conversation with former Big Brother Naija housemate Kim Oprah on Hip TV, the singer revealed that he encountered numerous obstacles on his journey to success.

At one point, He said he considered going to the church to ask for money to eat but quickly changed his mind upon realizing that he was not meant to be a beggar.

The singer said he was eventually inspired right there in the church, and he found himself compelled to write the song “Osinachi” which captured the essence of his experience and emotions during that challenging period.

When asked about his hit song “Osinachi”, Humblesmith said: “OSI for life all the way. Osinachi is still in existence. Osinachi is real. The song is real. You are making me emotional now.

So I was like wetin dey sub? You said make I pray, I don pray. You said make I fast, I don fast. So at the end of the day, Osinachi just pop up from nowhere.
