Ladipoe talk about how he get his stage name.

“When I was schooling in America, my oyibo friends would call me Ladipoe instead of Ladipo — my original name. I’d insist they called me Ladipo, but it wasn’t working. I guess it’s their tongue. In fact, one of them said the Ladipoe is too long, and started calling me Poe. That’s how the others followed, and it stuck with me.

Earlier in my music career, I was answering Poe. My earlier fans know this. But when I got famous, an American artiste emailed me that Poe is his stage name, & he had already trademarked it. I either pulled my songs down from streaming platforms, or I changed the name. Or he’d be left with no option than sue me. That’s how I added Ladi again to Poe, & started answering Ladipoe all over again.” — Rapper, Ladipoe
