YES BOSS!!!

What's your favourite Celebrity Slang? - Naeto C's Yes Boss!!! This was a question i asked some of my colleagues in school. So on a random survey, this slang has taken over the mouths of various youths across Africa. This is a Slang Signature introduced by Naeto C. It's a slang that's used to show respect to another person, of course you dont expect to use this for your parents...lol. That brings us to the question, Who is Naeto C? According to Wikipedia, Naetochukwu Chikwe (born 17 December 1982), stage name Naeto C, is a Nigerian rapper, Afrobeat artist and record producer. He was born in Houston, Texas and is of Nigerian origin.
Naeto C's parents are of the Igbo ethnic group in Owerri,Nigeria, Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland, Doctor Mrs. Kema Chikwe and Chief Herbert Chikwe. He spent his early years in that city, in a household very influenced by music. His fondness for music grew fast and was articulated into other creative art forms, most specifically poetry, which took him to various competitions and earned him accolades as a young poet. He attended the prestigious Atlantic Hall secondary school in Epe, Lagos.

Naeto graduated with a BSc in biology in 2004, but opted to become a self-employed entrepreneur instead of pursuing his intended career in medicine. It was around that time that Nigeria-based Storm Records expressed an interest in signing him and his brother, having heard their tracks on radio.
He intended to go study further and become a medical doctor. After some deep self-searching he changed his mind and decided to pursue his dream and develop his talent as a musician.He is currently pursuing a masters degree in oil and gas engineering at the University of Dundee.
