Yesternight, the Lauryn Hill Live in Lagos concert held at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island.
One of the most excited people to attend the event was music star Waje who happens to be a huge fan of Lauryn Hill.
According to Waje, Lauryn Hill’s songs helped her learn how to sing so she was quite ecstatic to meet Lauryn Hill last night.
She shared her experience on Instagram saying:
Just
before the show started a beautiful lady walked up to me telling me how
much she loved my music, in her words “we’ve been playing you songs in
philly ” , this sister sang the chorus of No Be You and I was blown away
by her voice, soon I realized she was Lauryns backup singer. My life
changed last night. I cried when Lauryn was performing and thinking, in
my life time I see woman wey I use her songs learn work!!!!! She killed
it! She gave me music life! So I got home and next thing my phone rings
“waje Lauryn wants to meet u? I ran back like I was going to collect the
certificate that validates the school of music life I have been in
since, she took my hand and I cried all thru…… I’m so sure I embarrassed
her but i had to tell her how grateful I am. Thank you Lauryn for
music… Long story short, do your own with diligence and authenticity and
you will save lives, inspire people to reach their goals as she
inspired many singers and musicians. I’m so honored. Shout out to my
sis @jbeautifull
