To those who do not know her, Clay is a multi-award-winning Nigerian alternative pop/rock artiste and guitarist who infuse Igbo, typical Nigerian pidgin and standard English together in most of her songs.

Ochukwu is indeed a song that any gay person will definitely relate to, especially those who are still battling with internalized homophobia and needs some sort of self validation and affirmation of their sexuality.
