Since the early 90's, Bisade “Lagbaja” Ologunde has managed to keep his face well hidden behind a mask – many of us pondered the mystery, the reason behind such an enigma hiding his identity. Is he handsome? Not good looking? Or is the invincibility the source of his musical prowess?
The questions were just not going to stop.
According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s facelessness. Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means “nobody in particular”. It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”. The mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa.
But it seems we all have our curiosity chilled up as a picture alleged to be Lagbaja's with his face left unmasked leaked on the Internet few days ago. Continue to see photo
On Saturday, September 29 2012, Lagbaja’s Omole Estate, Lagos home was visited by men of the underworld and valuables worth millions of naira was carted away in the process (if you missed it, CLICK HERE) perhaps, pictures showing his face too?
So far, the afrobeat singer who is in far away United States has not confirmed if the face is actually his or if he is the one that made the picture public or mandated someone to do so on his behalf.
It is however hard to ignore the striking similarities between this face and the masked one especially the lips, eyes and shape of chin.
