Joeboy says Tyla deserved Grammy win over Nigerians

Nigerian singer Joeboy has said that South African star Tyla deserved her Grammy Award win ahead of the Nigerian artists she was nominated with. Tyla won the Grammy for Best African Music Performance with her global hit song “Water,” beating Nigerian nominees including Davido, Burna Boy and Ayra Starr. The result sparked debate among many Nigerian fans, who felt their artists were unfairly overlooked. In a recent interview, Joeboy explained that he was personally rooting for Davido to win but still believes Tyla earned the award on merit. He described her as a very good and amazing artist and said that when you honestly compare the songs in the category, “Water” fully deserved to come out on top. Joeboy also addressed the anger from some Nigerian music lovers, noting that awards are competitive and that excellence should be recognised regardless […]

From Ojuelegba streets to world stages: Wizkid’s rise to global stardom

Wizkid’s journey from the streets of Ojuelegba in Surulere, Lagos, to global music superstardom is a story of raw talent, persistence and perfect timing. Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun in 1990, he started singing in church and recording in small Lagos studios as a teenager, dreaming of breaking out of his modest background. His big break came after he signed with EME Records and released Holla At Your Boy in 2010, a hit that made him a youth favourite and earned him the Next Rated award at the Headies.​ Over the next few years, he built a strong fan base with back to back singles and tours across Nigeria and the diaspora, setting himself up for a defining moment in his career. That moment was Ojuelegba, the reflective anthem inspired by his hustle in Surulere, which connected deeply with Nigerians at […]

Tems, Burna Boy break record for most Billboard Hot 100 entries by African artists

Afrobeats stars Tems and Burna Boy have made history by becoming the African artists with the most entries ever on the prestigious U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Nigerian duo have now each recorded eight appearances on the Hot 100, moving past South African rock band Seether, who previously shared the record with seven entries. Their latest milestone came through guest features on American rapper J. Cole’s new album, “The Fall-Off.” “Bounce Road Blues,” featuring Tems and Future, debuted at number 34, while “Only You,” which features Burna Boy, entered at number 78, pushing both singers to eight Hot 100 credits apiece.

2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

Davido explains why he rarely goes to clubs now

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, says he now rarely goes to clubs because he is more focused on his family, rest and a calmer lifestyle.​ He explained on The LongForm Podcast that having fame, money and influence at a young age had pushed him into a hectic nightlife in his early career. Back then, going to clubs almost every day felt normal and part of his identity.​ Davido said things have changed as he has grown older and started a family. He now prefers staying at home, spending time with loved ones or talking to his wife online when he is away rather than hanging out in clubs.​ He described a recent two month stay in Nigeria when he did not go out at night but instead relaxed at home, visited his studio and invited friends over […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]

Mavo: I’m saving my best songs for the right time

Fast rising Nigerian Afrobeats act Marvin Oseremen Ukanigbe, popularly known as Mavo, says he is deliberately holding back many of his best songs until what he believes will be the right time to release them.​ The 23 year old singer, who has already worked with heavyweights like Wizkid, CKay and Davido, revealed in a recent interview that he has a large catalogue of unreleased music dating back to 2022 and 2023.​ “I feel like I’m so blessed, so it’s not something to be surprised about, but I have a lot of songs I haven’t put out,” he said, noting that he does not think he has released up to his “top 50” tracks yet. He described some of the unreleased records as songs he is convinced “are going to be good,” but which he is intentionally keeping.​ Mavo explained that […]

Burna Boy says he reconciled with AKA before rapper’s death

Grammy winning singer Burna Boy has revealed that he settled his rift with late South African rapper AKA privately before AKA’s death.​ In a posthumous birthday message shared on Instagram, Burna Boy expressed regret that they never got to collaborate or follow through on their plans despite making peace.​ Their feud began in 2019 after AKA was reported to have encouraged xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, a development that led Burna Boy to publicly threaten to confront him if they ever met.​ Marking AKA’s posthumous birthday, Burna Boy wrote that they “fell out over bullshit” but later squashed their differences over Twitter DMs that nobody knew about. He said he would always regret that they never had the chance to reconnect properly or make music together.​ “Happy birthday Supa Mega… we never got the chance to really link […]
