Depending on who you ask, Small Doctor‘s street anthem, Penalty is the song of the season. The catchy song has been getting massive airplay all over the country. It only takes a few seconds of the opening line get people dancing. Remember that Moet Abebe’s video? That’s all of us to be honest.
The catchphrase ‘Won ti gba penalty wo throw in’ has an interesting history behind it. Believe it or not that line was inspired by the singer’s mother.
Born Temitope Adekunle, Small Doctor always references his mother in his music, alluding to the fact that she was a school teacher. It definitely appears that his mother also has a thing for hit songs.
In a interview with HipTv, the singer revealed that the phrase was coined by his mother to describe an error. Little did she know that she was helping turn her son into a star.
Since the track came out, Small Doctor’s career has been on the rise as he has performed the song countless times at paid show. Even the recent scandal of his nude video leaking on the internet hasn’t damaged him much: fans are still chanting ‘Hain hain hain’ with him.
This just goes to prove that Mama does always know best!
