Nigeria’s music acts have continued to bring glory and adulation to the country in foreign lands as South American nation Peru have gushed over the use of the country’s name as song title by Nigeria’s Fireboy.
Peru, a hit song under the DML records featured Grammy award winner Ed Sheeran in its remix and the song has inadvertently caught the attention of the Peruvian government.
The government through its official Twitter account expressed belief that Peru as a country’s name must have inspired the Nigerian and urged its nationals to listen to it.
Reacting to the song, the South American country wrote: “PERU PARA, PERU PERU PARA!!! 🇵🇪🎶
Seems like @edsheeran and @fireboydml were inspired by our country to launch their newest hit? 👀😁 Have you already listened to it? It’s called “Peru” and sounds really catchy! 👉
