Mo Abudu Secures Rights to Kaesungs’ “Na Woman Finish My Papa” for The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives

Mo Abudu’s EbonyLife Films has officially secured the rights to use Kaesungs’ popular song “Na Woman Finish My Papa” in the highly anticipated Nollywood movie The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives.

The announcement has generated excitement among movie lovers, as the classic track perfectly complements the themes and storyline of the upcoming film. With its memorable lyrics and humorous take on relationships, the song is expected to add even more depth and emotion to one of the year’s biggest Nollywood releases.

Why the Song Fits the Story Perfectly

The decision to feature “Na Woman Finish My Papa” goes beyond simply adding a familiar hit to the soundtrack. The song’s playful but thought-provoking message mirrors the central plot of The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives.

The film follows Baba Segi, a wealthy man with four wives whose carefully hidden secrets gradually unravel, throwing his seemingly stable household into chaos. The song’s famous refrain jokingly suggests that a woman’s actions can lead to a man’s downfall, making it a surprisingly fitting companion to the emotional twists, betrayals and family drama explored throughout the movie.

Rather than serving as background music alone, the track helps reinforce the film’s themes while adding a layer of nostalgia that many Nigerian audiences will instantly recognize.

A Soundtrack That Could Leave a Lasting Impact

Great movies are often remembered for more than just their stories—they’re remembered for their music.

By incorporating “Na Woman Finish My Papa” into the official soundtrack, the filmmakers are giving the beloved song a fresh platform. The collaboration introduces the classic record to younger audiences while allowing longtime fans to experience it in an entirely new context.

If the film resonates with audiences, the song could become permanently associated with some of its most memorable scenes, further cementing its place in Nigerian pop culture.

A Boost for Nigerian Music and Nollywood

The partnership also highlights the growing relationship between Nigeria’s music and film industries.

Classic songs often find new life when featured in major productions, reaching audiences who may have never heard them before. At the same time, recognizable music helps strengthen emotional connections between viewers and a film’s biggest moments.

For The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives, the addition of “Na Woman Finish My Papa” blends nostalgia with storytelling, creating a uniquely Nigerian cinematic experience that celebrates both music and film.
