St Janet's controversial career

St Janet built a reputation in Nigerian juju-highlife music that was not without controversy.

Her recording 'Faaji Plus', which contained explicit lyrics, drew sharp condemnation from regulatory bodies.

Both the Performing Musicians Employers' Association of Nigeria (PMAN) and the Lagos State House of Assembly moved to ban the record, making her one of the more polarising figures in the Nigerian music scene.
