I have crush on Rihanna – Orezi

…explains why he shot video in South Africa
Rising hip-hop star, Orezi returned from
South Africa last week where he went on a
nation wide tour and shot the video of his
hit song, Rihanna.
In a chat with Showtime, Orezi narrated his
experience especially how he was able to
get a Rihanna look alike from Mauritius after
a rigorous effort to get the American
singing star, did not work out due to her
loaded schedule.
According to him, “We had a wonderful time
in South Africa, it was truly a rewarding
experience and a most educative for me as a
very young artiste. At the end, we came out
with something that the world will talk
about for a long time, the video for the all
time popular hit song, Rihanna,” Orezi told
Showtime, in Lagos a day after his arrival
from South Africa, last week.
When all efforts to get the American super
diva, Rihanna to feature in the multi million
Naira video did not work out, Orezi and his
management team as well as his label,
Sprisal Records, went online and decided to
shop for a Rihanna look alike. The search
finally paid off when a ‘Rihanna’ sent in her
entry from Mauritius.
This young, beautiful ‘Rihanna’ named Kim
was chosen above over 200 pictures.
Orezi’s management has decided to stay
mum on the cost of bringing this stunning
beauty down to the shoot on location in
South Africa. However, an inside source
squealed that Orezi’s label paid an initial
deposit of 10, 000 dollars to ‘Rihanna’s
master card account while her traveling
arrangement to Johannesburg, South Africa
revealed a Business class from Mauritius, –
Israel – Hong Kong – South Africa (little
wonder a source close to Orezi’s
management said the video is worth N7.3m)
.
Meanwhile, Orezi smiled mischievously when
asked if he had a crush on America’s
Rihanna. “I like her, I like any pretty woman
that has made a mark for herself. I like her
and I believe she will like Orezi too when
she meets him.” He also cleared the air
concerning the record label he is signed on,
saying “I am signed on to Sprisal Records
and the deal is good.”
He also explained why he chose South Africa
to shoot his Rihanna video. “I have shot two
videos in Nigeria before now but what I
want to achieve with the Rihanna video is
different.”
