Nigerian singer Waje has revealed that she was never paid for her vocal contribution to P-Square’s 2007 hit song “Do Me.”
Speaking on The HonestBunch Podcast, the 45-year-old singer opened up about her experience, saying, “I didn’t earn a dime from P-Square’s ‘Do Me.’”
Waje, whose real name is Aituaje Iruobe, delivered the memorable female vocals on the track but was never officially credited or featured. She recalled how people doubted her claims whenever she mentioned that she was the voice behind the hit.

“Imagine being in Onitsha market and telling people that’s my voice every time ‘Do Me’ is played, and they look at you like, who are you? They didn’t believe me,” she said.
Although the song helped bring her to the spotlight, Waje noted that she didn’t appear in the music video because she didn’t have a passport at the time.
“Do Me” was one of the standout tracks from P-Square’s third studio album, Game Over, which dominated airwaves across Nigeria and beyond in the late 2000s.
