November 5th 2024.
Nana, a popular icon from the 2000s, made a surprise appearance recently that left fans stunned. It's been nearly 24 years since her hit song "Body Groove" became a club classic, and she looks completely unrecognisable now. But don't be fooled by her appearance, because Nana can still deliver an incredible performance.
Back in 2000, Nana collaborated with garage group The Architechs, and their song quickly climbed up to number three on the UK singles chart. And recently, she proved that she's still got it when she made a cameo on DJ AG Online's TikTok, performing live on the streets of London. The internet star was thrilled to have Nana perform her classic hit "Body Groove" and shared the video with the caption, "When Nay Nay pulls up and performs the classic Body Groove."
Decked out in a huge fluffy jacket, black cutaway body suit, joggers, and a cap with oversized sunglasses, Nana looked every bit the 2000s star she once was. And even though it was past sundown, she rocked the look like a true icon. "Body Groove" spent nine weeks in the Top 40, and it took another seven weeks before it finally dropped out of the Top 100.
Fans couldn't contain their excitement at seeing Nana perform again after all these years. One fan with the username Lexie commented on the TikTok video, "She's amazing and looks amazing." Others expressed their surprise and admiration for Nana's talent and appearance. It was truly a great surprise for everyone, including DT Crafts and Poetry who wrote, "This was a great surprise... this is the most hyped live for me... was late putting my boy to bed cos I had to do my thing and make my body grove."
Even other celebrities were impressed by Nana's performance, with Mizzle praising DJ AG Online for bringing back legendary artists like Nana. Angel also expressed her love for Nana and her hit song, "Ahh I love her she's amaziiinnnnnnggg my tuuuuuunnnnne."
The Architechs, a garage duo consisting of brothers Paul and Ashley Akabah (known as Tre Lowe), were the masterminds behind "Body Groove." They also released another hit song around the same time called "Show Me the Money." However, it couldn't quite compare to the success of "Body Groove." The duo went on to work with big names in the music industry such as All Saints, Gabrielle, Faithless, and Garbage.
Sadly, Ashley passed away at the age of 49 in 2020, due to suspected complications from Covid. In a surprising turn of events, Paul appeared on The Apprentice in 2024, revealing that he was secretly a "bit of a geek" despite his garage roots. Reflecting on his music career, Tre described it as "something truly special."
