In a candid revelation on a recent podcast, music mogul Don Jazzy dropped a bombshell about the scarcity of virgin girls above the age of 18 in Lagos.
Recalling a scene from Rema's music video shoot, where authenticity was paramount, Don Jazzy and his team embarked on a futile quest through every neighborhood in Lagos in search of virgins.
Their fruitless efforts unveiled a stark reality - in Lagos, virginity among young women is a rarity, challenging prevalent stereotypes and prompting a complete overhaul of the video's concept. Don Jazzy's revelation sheds light on the societal norms and pressures faced by young women in the bustling city of Lagos.
Don conversation.
“I say this and they think I’m exaggerating. There is no single girl above the age of 18 in Lagos who is a virg!n.
I remember this scene we had to shoot for Rema’s calm down video. The scene involved some young girls dressed locally and acting in a naive way. We needed some authenticity so we actually wanted Virg!ns above 18 to play the role.
O boy, we entered every single neighborhood in Lagos trying to find Virg!ns. Could we? Everyone is just wide in lagos. I’m not joking. We ended up changing the entire music video concept” ~ Don Jazzy speaks on podcast.
