Tiwa Savage and Don Jazzy’s monster hit “Eminado” has taken on a life of it’s own as parents are now naming their babies “Eminado”. Shortly after the song was released many wondered what “Eminado” meant. It turns out it was made up by Don Jazzy and in Don Jazzy language it means “good luck charm”.
The Mavin boss and super producer revealed in a series of tweets that the song has now become so influential and is being passed on to the next generation. He tweeted,
So far I’ve gotten mails from 3 families that have named their babies “Eminado” and it makes me soooo happy. At least i have done something. I could have used any sweet word in place of Eminado. Jollof rice, lover girl, lol etc, but i chose to create mine and i am proud of it. At the end of the day. the song sweet. if e dey pain u say i dey make up words. ermmmmm SORRY no vex lol
He added,
Eminado means “GoodLuck Charm”. Yes i made the word up. and gave it a meaning. just like people made up all the words we use today.
Fans reactions were mixed, with some blasting the parents christening their kids Eminado as daft and stupid, while others welcomed the news. Mostly it was hilarious. Check out some responses below
