Nigerian disc jockey, Olawunmi Okerayi, popularly known as DJ Lambo, recently sparked a conversation on gender dynamics in the DJing industry. During an appearance on The Truth podcast hosted by Mory Coco, she boldly claimed that female disc jockeys outperform their male counterparts.
“I feel like women are even better DJs than men are…” DJ Lambo remarked. She went on to highlight the extra effort women put into their work compared to men. “Like I said, for women, you need to work twice as hard [as men] to get half [of what men have],” she added.
The DJ also praised fellow female DJ, DSF, calling her a talented and multifaceted individual. “DSF is that babe that can actually DJ; she is actually hot, and she can actually act.”
When discussing her own inspiration to become a DJ, DJ Lambo shared a personal story. “My dad introduced me to music. I didn’t know my dad was a DJ until I became a DJ. And my mum was like, ‘Your dad used to be a DJ.’ I was like, ‘Oh, no wonder.’”
DJ Lambo also mentioned one of her biggest challenges in the profession, saying that carrying heavy equipment has been a struggle.
