From Nigeria to Canada: Segun Johnson receives Brampton Mayor’s recognition

Celebrated Nigerian artiste and and “Ota Lenu” crooner, Segun Johnson, has added another remarkable milestone to his illustrious career.

Following his sold-out show in Toronto, Canada, in August 2024, the Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, awarded Johnson a prestigious Certificate of Recognition for his contributions as an outstanding entertainer and changemaker.

Although Mayor Patrick Brown could not be physically present at the event, his commendations were delivered by Garry Collins, Director of Communications, Office of the Mayor, City of Brampton.

Reliving the moment, Segun Johnson expressed his gratitude and reflected on the significance of the recognition:
“I had a tour in Canada last August, and this recognition by the Mayor of Brampton proves that our performances have transcended the walls of Nigeria. Amazingly, Brampton has a high population of Nigerians, and the Mayor spoke so highly of the Nigerian community. This made me appreciate our culture even more.”

The gifted artiste also noted that a moment he couldn’t forget was seeing the Mayor’s team dance to some of his hype lines.

“One remarkable moment for me was seeing the Mayor’s team dancing to some of my hype lines. It shows that my style of music resonates with a global audience, even with people who are neither Nigerians nor Africans. This experience confirms that our culture is appreciated by those who admire us from afar.”

Inspired by this recognition, Segun Johnson has set his sights on expanding his reach globally.
“I have decided to embark on more tours, targeting more cities and bringing them excellent entertainment through my unique style of music and audience engagement,” the singer announced.
