Former Big Brother Naija housemates and identical twin sisters, Wanni X Handi, are turning heads and breaking barriers as they take over Nigeria’s entertainment scene—not just as DJs, but as all-round entertainers. In a recent chat with Saturday Beats, Handi got candid about the struggles they’ve faced as women in the male-dominated DJ world—and how they’re thriving regardless.
“Men Doubt Us… Until We Touch the Decks”
Handi revealed that while they’ve received praise for their skills, there are still men who underestimate them—until they hear them play.
“Definitely, there have been times men tried to look down on us because they think we cannot play. But we are very amazing DJs, and when we step on stage, we show them that we know how to play this craft,” she said confidently.
Beyond spinning tracks, the sisters are known for their high-energy performances and signature dance routines, making their sets more than just music—they’re a full experience.
“We are not just DJs; we are entertainers. Regardless of the issues going on in the industry, my sister and I are thriving very well,” she added.
Do Awards Celebrate DJs Enough?
When asked if award shows do enough to recognise DJs, Handi gave a balanced response:
“I know of some award shows that have categories for DJs. They are doing well, but more can still be done.”
It’s a call to action for more visibility and appreciation for DJs—especially the women redefining the game.
The Power of Twin Energy
Handi also spoke about their unique bond and how it helps them stay in sync on stage—even when one of them isn’t feeling 100%.
“There has never been a time our energies were so low that we could not perform. We know how to lift each other up.”
Wanni echoed the same sentiment in a past interview, calling her sister her soulmate and best friend.
“She is my soul mate and best friend. We are in sync. We dance and DJ together. We’ve done our choreographies over and over again,” Wanni had said.
What’s Next for Wanni X Handi?
Handi teased that more surprises are coming, urging fans to stay plugged into their social media for upcoming projects and announcements.
“We have a lot in the pipeline,” she promised.
From BBNaija fame to becoming industry powerhouses, Wanni X Handi are proving that talent, teamwork, and tenacity are a triple threat—even in a space where women are often doubted. One thing’s clear: they’re not just playing music—they’re playing to win.
