Mavin Records singer Di’Ja has revealed the reason she adds lyrics from other countries to her songs. Di’Ja who recently released a song with Patoranking told Showtime ‘I usually wear my traditional garments to perform, and I constantly put my language in everything I do.

Don’t forget that Yaro, the title of one of my songs, is an Hausa word as well. I’m not only Hausa, I’m also partly Lebanese and Sierra-Leonean as well, so I try my best to bring my cultures from my father and mother’s sides to bear on my craft as much as I can. For me, the more I can talk to, and relate to my fans, the happier I am.’
