Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew

When you’re a superstar, die-hard fans will do just about anything to prove their loyalty. And for Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew, the biggest musical act in Sierra Leone, that includes a lot of public nudity… which has become a bit of a problem for them. “One of the craziest things I’ve ever seen was a fan stripping himself naked—just in support, like, ‘Dry Eye Crew!’” Bajah says. “It’s happening everywhere. We always want to stop them—cause back home, you can’t do stuff like that. But they just do it!” “One time we were in the city, and these guys just went in the street and started getting naked—in front of all the people!” adds A-Klazz. “We even had a problem with the chiefs in Bo town,” Bajah continues, “because we had a show there, and some guys jumped onstage and stripped.” “Newspapers came out and tried to scandal us,” A-Klazz adds, then Bajah explains: “They talked with the organizers, like we’re the ones telling them to do that, but we’re like, ‘No, sorry. They’re just doing it out of love.’”
