Afrobeat star reveals how Fela, Orlando Owoh shaped his sound

A Nigerian Afrobeat singer has credited music legends Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Orlando Owoh as major influences on his sound and approach to music. He explained that Fela’s socially conscious lyrics, powerful stage performances and use of music to challenge injustice inspired him to see Afrobeat as a tool for storytelling and activism, not just entertainment. The artiste also said Orlando Owoh’s unique blend of highlife, Yoruba rhythms and deep vocals helped shape his interest in live band music and rich, traditional instrumentation. According to him, listening to both icons while growing up taught him to value originality, meaningful lyrics and strong band arrangements, which now guide how he writes, records and performs his own songs. He added that his goal is to keep evolving the Afrobeat sound for a new generation while still paying respect to the pioneers whose […]

Why I almost quit music, by Superboy Cheque

Nigerian singer and rapper Superboy Cheque has revealed that he once considered quitting music at the height of his struggles with severe acne and low self esteem.​ Speaking in a recent interview, the Penthauze act said his skin condition affected his confidence so badly that he became extremely insecure about appearing in public or shooting music videos. Cheque explained that the breakout on his face made him feel unattractive and held him back from fully embracing fame, to the point that he thought about abandoning his music dreams altogether. He said treatment and gradual healing of his acne, alongside the support of close friends and colleagues who believed in his talent, helped him regain confidence and stay focused on his career. The “Zoom” hitmaker added that he now feels more comfortable in his own skin and hopes his story encourages […]

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.

Davido apologises to Tosinbee over custody case mix-up

Afrobeats star Davido has apologised to gospel singer Tosinbee after wrongly linking him to a lawyer involved in his ongoing child custody battle. The mix-up started after a tense court session over the custody of Davido’s daughter, Imade, involving his estranged partner, Sophia Momodu. Following the hearing at the Lagos State High Court, Davido went on social media to criticise one of Sophia’s lawyers. In the process, he reshared a post by Tosinbee, apparently assuming the singer was the lawyer’s son, and used harsh words against him. Tosinbee quickly clarified that he had no connection to the lawyer or the custody case. He explained that his mother died eight years ago and described the situation as a simple case of mistaken identity while offering prayers and goodwill to Davido. After Tosinbee’s explanation, Davido admitted the error and issued a brief […]

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 […]
