Tony Tetuila’s Life is a Journey of Resilience and Grace

Author: The Culture Custodian December 18, 2025 Duration: 1:11:48

In this special episode of With an S, produced in collaboration with the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, Deji and Dami sit down with Nigerian music pioneer, Tony Tetuila, for an unfiltered and deeply reflective conversation about his legacy. Headlining the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, the Golden Boy of Africa traces his journey from joining The Remedies, one of Nigeria’s pioneering musical groups, to the experiences and conflicts that ultimately pushed him toward a solo career. He speaks candidly about the sting of betrayal, the value of loyalty, and the sense of family he found in Plantashun Boiz, alongside the challenges of finding his footing as a solo artist.


This episode is a portrait of a legend whose songs and influence defined an era in Nigerian music and continue to remind us that no matter what naysayers say or wish for, they do not control the trajectory of your life.


Watch him perform live on the 23rd of December 2025, headlining the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival. Get your tickets here: https://www.eventporte.com/egwucarniv...
