For Awopeju Olaniyi Philips aka King Phillipiano,
it was fame or nothing as the self-professed
traditional regalia to slug it out with other music
enthusiasts in the Lagos audition of MTN Project
Fame West Africa season 9.
Adorned in beads, robes, animal skin and a
horsetail to match, the chap claims his costume
represents the cultural diversity and the unity of
the African continent. Like many others who
thronged the Ultima Studio, he had the singular
objective of reaching musical fame on the MTN
Project Fame platform.
However, for this feat to be achieved, King
Phillipiano believed his costume would prove his
seriousness to the judges. Like the celebrity he
dreamt to be, his presence attracted paparazzi
on the yellow carpet.
However, the fame King Phillipiano sought
wouldn’t come cheaply for as he had to
showcase his vocal prowess to convince the
panel of judges comprising Gloria Rhodes,
CobhamsAsuquo, and Shola Allyson.
Well, his magic could only get him as far as the
arena. His vocal power wasn’t convincing enough
for the judges who were nonetheless thrilled by
his comical performance and elaborate regalia.
He’ll have to try again with a better vocal
performance, next season!
