90 Day Fiancé star Usman Umar, aka Sojaboy, is making big moves in his music career and announced major news about what he’s up to in 2023. The 32-year-old was first seen in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 after having started a relationship with American woman Lisa Hamme online. Lisa flew to Nigeria to get married to Usman but showed her jealous side when she noticed how Sojaboy was always surrounded by his female fans. Over time, Sojaboy's popularity grew, and he revealed his intention of becoming an international superstar like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and Jay-Z.
90 Day Fiancé's Usman Umar has been accused of being after a Green Card and chose to date vulnerable women such as Lisa or Kim Menzies. But Usman instead has announced that he is soon heading to the United Kingdom for something big. He took to Instagram to share a poster of himself with the text, “Soja Boy UK Tour.”
Usman will be in the UK from June 13-30, 2023. In his caption, Usman mentioned, “Dates and Venues will be release[d] in the next post.”
Is 90 Day Fiancé Star Usman's Stage Name Inspired By Soulja Boy?
90 Day Fiancé fans showed a range of emotions in his comments. “Welcome to the UK,” wrote one, and someone asked, “It’s [sic] this a joke ? Lol.” Usman's reputation on 90 Day Fiancé precedes him, but there has been some support of his journey from the start. One of the questions about Usman has always been about his musician name. Usman's stage name sounds very similar to that of American rapper Soulja Boy. However, Usman claimed he didn’t even know about Soulja Boy when he started using his Sojaboy alias. According to the reality star, rapping doesn’t get too popular in Africa.
Usman believes that on his continent, people enjoy music that they can dance to and move their bodies in a club. Rapping isn’t as big as Afrobeat. But Usman got his name because his two brothers are in the Army. Usman wanted to use the name “Sojaboy” if he ever wanted to become an artist. He thinks that when it comes to Soulja, the "Crank That" artist's name represents the soul. In Usman's case, it means a soldier in the military due to his family background. He has been inspired by his brothers in the Army and is repping them.
Usman has been called out for using 90 Day Fiancé to his advantage. His own ex-wife Lisa has claimed that Usman and Kim's relationship was fake. Usman doesn’t shy away from admitting that he has benefited from the TLC franchise. Meanwhile, now that Usman is flying to the UK, it's unclear if he even needs a woman to get him to America or if his popularity as a musician will lead him there for a tour in the end.
