Unlike many children of Nigerian politicians who prefer to stay away from public attention, Ozonna Soludo has built a strong online presence through music, fashion and social media content.
The eldest son of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has become one of the country’s most talked-about political family members, thanks to his energetic dance videos, unique fashion choices and outspoken personality.
With a growing following on Instagram, where he has amassed more than 100,000 followers, Ozonna regularly shares music, dance clips and lifestyle content that generate conversations across social media.
Viral protest video sparks fresh reactions
Ozonna recently returned to the spotlight after posting a video of himself dancing to a trending protest song that criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In the clip, he wore a campaign-branded shirt linked to his father while dancing to lyrics directed at the Federal Government and, at some points, mentioning Governor Charles Soludo.
The video quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some praising his freedom of expression while others questioned his choice of content.
Building a career beyond politics
Although many Nigerians first recognised him because of his father’s political profile, Ozonna has consistently focused on establishing himself as an entertainer and entrepreneur.
He reignited his music career in 2023 with the release of his single, Take It Slow, attracting renewed interest from fans.
Beyond music, he owns a jewellery and bead-making business where he designs handcrafted necklaces and fashion accessories, many of which feature prominently across his social media platforms.
His pages also showcase dance challenges, humorous videos and creative fashion content aimed at younger audiences.
A bold image that divides opinions
Ozonna is well known for his unconventional fashion style, distinctive hairstyles and frequent shirtless appearances in videos and photographs.
His unique public image has earned him both admiration and criticism.
In 2025, he responded to online critics who questioned his lifestyle, stressing that he would continue living according to his own values rather than trying to satisfy public expectations.
He said he was comfortable with who he is and had no intention of changing his style because of criticism from social media users.
Viral dance with Governor Soludo
One of Ozonna’s most popular online moments came in July 2025 when Governor Charles Soludo joined him in a dance challenge promoting his song, Big Flex.
The father-and-son video, which showed both wearing matching traditional beads, quickly went viral and was widely praised by Nigerians for revealing a lighter side of the Anambra governor.
Separating his views from his father’s politics
Despite being the son of a serving governor, Ozonna has repeatedly stated that his personal opinions should not be interpreted as representing his father’s political position.
Ahead of the 2023 general election, he publicly distanced himself from political debates after being drawn into discussions online.
He maintained that he holds independent political views and should not be regarded as an extension of his father’s office.
From Isuofia to the entertainment scene
Born on February 11, 1994, in Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, Ozonna is the first of Governor Soludo’s six children.
He spent part of his early years in the United States before later studying Vocal Performance at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London.
Today, Ozonna continues to balance music, entrepreneurship and digital content creation while maintaining a social media presence that frequently keeps him in the national conversation.
