I Went Into Reggae Because Of Girls – Patoranking

Who would believe Patoranking came into the music industry barely 14 months ago? The young once upon a time rat poison seller has transformed into one of the most sought after artistes. Currently, he is MTV Base artiste of the month.

Even as a reggae artiste, Patoranking has revived the genre and now, everybody, especially the ladies, love him.

According to reports, the reggae/dancehall crooner revealed that he chose reggae genre because of the ladies.

“One of the reasons I chose reggae even though it might sound funny is because of the girls. I remember back then in secondary school, if you did not know how to mime songs, you could not get the girls and I like standing out. I thought it would be wise for me to mime the songs that my colleagues won’t know. I listened to more reggae songs. Whenever I did that, the girls were always impressed. I listened to a lot of Bob Marley and Lucky Dube’s songs,”

he said.

Known to have female artistes dance erotically for him, popular singers like Tiwa Savage and Seyi Shay are also among the female singers who ‘twerk’ for him on stage. he says

“It is not that the female singers just twerk for me, it is a performance and we make sure we give people what they want. Most people think they twerk for me and I get aroused or ‘catch feelings’ but I don’t even respond to stimuli at all. We are just trying to make it look like what they do abroad. You see the likes of Beyonce twerking for Kanye. It is just a stage performance,”

Patoranking said.
