Singer, Ikuforiji Olaitan, popularly known as Oxlade, has recalled suffering racial abuse in France.
Appearing on a recent episode of ‘The Datebizz’ podcast, the singer revealed that the experience inspired the title of his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa.’

“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.”

Oxlade, a graduate of History and International Relations, also claimed that the names Africa and Nigeria are both derogatory.
