I’m Rebranding, Says Nigerian Singer Kcee on Wearing Masks

Kingsley Okonkwo, the Nigerian singer better known as Kcee, has explained why he started wearing masks.

In an interview with HipTV, the singer said he decided to mask his face because he wanted to present a new version of himself.

He said he has shown his face for over two decades.

He added that the choice to cover it up was to give it a touch of Lagbaja 2.0.

“Me wearing my mask, I’m all masked up. It’s just a new Kcee. It’s a new season of dum dum and I just decided to cover my face,” he said.

“You guys have been seeing my face for almost 24/25 years. This time around I chose to cover it up and just give it some Lagbaja 2.0, Kcee 2.0.”

In 2021, the Kcee teamed up with the Okwesili Eze Group to release a gospel music album titled ‘Cultural Praise’.

In August 2022, the singer said he switched genres from secular to gospel music to avoid career stagnation.

Kcee recently opened up about making more money from gospel music than secular songs.

He also released ‘Ojapiano’, a music project where he used local instruments on Amapiano.

The music star is currently signed to the label Five Star Music.
