Guys, stumbled upon this video on TikTok and mhen! I can't believe this is an 'heartbreak song'

Funny how we loved and danced to it and we didn't even care about the meaning cheesy. This music and awilo were played in almost all Birthday parties then.

This is 'Gaou' by Magic System. Yes it was huge hit across Africa. It was released in 2000/01 not any '90s.

I am too sure you are the one who is wrong.

If you indeed know the language you mentioned, you would know that 'lepa' is a modern day word/slogan, not an old indigenous word. About mid 90s, this word wasn't even known or used, not even for slim person. Go figure.
Opposite of 'lepa' is 'Orobo', do you also know the song/singer who also brought about orobo mainstream usage and adoption to describe someone on the fatty side?
It's true that new words are being coined and added on the daily to lingo and local dialect, but also note that some have been around longer to know the origin and difference in the adapted and original root word.

Arrogance won't let you grow.

Lepa, orobo were meaningful Yoruba world.

Women will always avoid unsuccessful men no matter how good their intentions can be.

No wonder, successful men always have their ways with women no matter how classy and sophisticated they could be.

In all you do, 'get money'.

Lepa shandy came out 2002, gauo was recorded in 1999

He wasnt saying "lepa" either. Lepa is a yoruba word. Its been in vogue b4 the song.

"n'est pas gaou oh"

Lepa is a Yoruba word meaning to gum or join together. It became a slang for describing slim girls after that film was released because of the slim nature of the girl that acted.

Lepa, orobo were meaningful Yoruba world.
They were Yoruba words but were not used to decribe slim and fat girls. Orobo became slang for describing fat girls after pasuma sang " orobokibo". Before then we were using "apati and bantu". Lepa became a slang for describing slim girls after that film was released because of the slim nature of the girl. Then slim girls were described with "opelenge". If you listen to old Fuji and juju musics, opelenge was to describe slim girls.

I doubt if the orobo is an indigenous Yoruba word. Though I am not Yoruba.
