Quick Word with Leony

X2 hung out with former House on the Rock chorister, Leony at Body Lawson Studio, Ikeja, Lagos, where he was shooting the video for his new single ‘Shawdy’.
“Shawdy is a love song that I wrote for my girl. I was just trying to express myself on how I feel about her. It’s a positive-love song and you can apply it however you wish to apply it.”
Purists amongst us need not panic! Leony does not describe his work as secular (although his single is called Shawdy): “I just do music. I like to talk about a lot of things. I have a couple of gospel tracks on my album which is coming out soon.”

Video extras, one manager and one reporter (in main shot). I hear a very hot woman was also present but only her phone's earpiece made it into the group photo
Hey! There he is!
MI, who features on the track, hangs with up and coming artist Sleeq
Director, Aaron Ugede: "This, young lady, is how to hold Eromak shopping bags!" Video Honey (in her mind): "Tcheeew! Excuse me, hello...as in...!"
This picture truly serves no purpose...but a dishy model features...
Three guesses why he's laughing
Hey guys, look, I found that missing underwear!
Ice Prince: "God, M, you crack me up...that's a sparkly baseball cap isn't it?"
Because ladies love Nollywood actors with hairy chests...
Girl: "I'm taller that my prom date? Why didn't anyone warn me that this could happen when i bought these shoes?"
Leony: "Like, I am totally dancing with your date, dawg!"
Video Girl: "Sorry M, he's taller!"
In this photo Leony was actually begging me not to write silly captions (Ok, that is not true because I wasn't even present when this photo was taken)...
Shawdy was produced by Leony and Mecca E.
So X2 got to hang out with Jesse J and the Choc Boys on the set of his new video ‘Bump it Up’. Check out some behind the scenes footage.
Piling on the pancake!
For real, this babe is applying mascara to his beard - the indignity of it all!
