On my journey of branding my many works of creativity I knew one thing I never wanted to do was deviate from who I am. I wanted one of those cool outrageous rap names maybe even a “Lil” and I may eventually add to my catalog of alias and titles but right from the start I wanted the world to know and understand how it all began. I had many names growing up, even with so many legal and given names everyone had a different nickname for me. My close friends called me one name and my family called me another. You could tell the level of connection I had to someone by the name they called me. I come from a huge family and growing up in such a communal societal structure everyone in the neighborhood pretty much knew who I was and who I was related to. My uncles called me Dipson a twist on the short hand of my first name Oladipupo(Dipo) which became Dipson. There was also another name everyone knew me by and might have actually been my first nickname. Everyone called my grandmother who raised me “Iya White House” meaning the mother of the White House and that led to everyone calling me “Omo Mama White House”(OMWH). Meaning child of the mother of the White House. I guess growing up in the only all White House for miles in the middle of Ajilosun Ado-Ekiti earned us a nickname. If there was ever a name that captured the ideas, hopes and dreams of the boy that I was it definitely is OMWH. I have learned to accept myself, my mistakes, my beginning and my end. OMWH allows me to never stray too far from who I am and who I want to continue to be. I am the same boy who wanted to see everyone around me do even better than they were. I am the boy that wanted that wanted to use my voice and presence on this planet for the purpose of uniting human beings. I am the same boy that wanted a more progressive Nigeria and the world as a whole. I am the same boy who wanted to make music to move souls and touch lives. I am OMWH. My ideas, my hopes and dreams may have taken cuts and bruises along the road of becoming an adult but they have yet to be diminished and now more than ever I am equipped with the necessary tools to accomplish them.
I created the OMWH merch to celebrate the spirit of becoming who we are and who we have always wanted to be. I hope to inspire you to be who you want to be.
