Abass Akande Obesere (born 20 January 1965), also known by his stage name Omo Rapala, is a Nigerian artist, singer and record producer who is a native of Ibadan, the largest city in Western Nigeria. A popular Fuji musician, Obesere forced his way into the limelight through his unusual music style and slang usage. Following the paths of other successful musicians such as Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Obesere has taken his own brand of Fuji music all over the world. He was initially signed with Sony Music but moved on to other labels after payment disputes. For most of his musical career, he had a long-time rivalry with K1 De Ultimate, another popular Fuji musician.[2]
Obesere is currently signed with Mayors Ville Entertainment artist management firm, a subsidiary of Maxgolan Entertainment Group, a record company in Lagos, Nigeria.
