Popular singer Ikuforiji Olaitan, known professionally as Oxlade, recently opened up about a harrowing experience of racial abuse in France. He shared this personal story as a guest on the ‘The Datebizz’ podcast.

Oxlade revealed that this incident had a profound impact on him, inspiring the title of his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa.’ The album’s name serves as a powerful statement of identity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Through sharing his story, Oxlade highlights the ongoing struggles with racism and discrimination, using his platform to promote unity and self-love. His music continues to captivate audiences, and his voice remains a significant force in the industry.

In his words:

“I decided to name my album ‘Oxlade From Africa’ because I was racially abused in France, precisely Monaco,” he recalled.

“That was what woke me up to be an African. It also made me realise that African stigma exists. In Africa, we see ourselves as normal human beings but outside Africa, they [foreigners] see us as monkeys, strange beings.”
