reportedly sold over 2 million copies, 2Face

Not only has this young and successful singer
won an MTV- ‘African Artist of The Year’
award at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards
in Lisbon, he has also been busy touring
around the globe promoting his single release
and made his first visit to the UK and later to
Brooklyn -New York back in March 2005.
The easy going and humble African pop star
(formerly of the Plantasion Boyz) says his
inspiration for the song came from his love
for African women, “I wanted a song to
celebrate their strength, show appreciation of
how they support the African man. African
women are very warm and they know how to
take care of their family”
