They became known after the success of their controversial hit song “Kerewa”, which was banned by the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for obscene content.[4][5] They were one of the top musical groups in Nigeria in the early 2000s, with their unique dance steps.[6] Zule Zoo performed at the 2018 Headies.[7][8]
