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 […]

Stay true to Fela Kuti’s legacy, Yomi Fabiyi tells Wizkid

Actor Yomi Fabiyi has written an open letter to Wizkid, urging him not to erase the tattoo of Fela Kuti’s image on his body despite the recent controversy surrounding comparisons between the late icon and modern artists. He acknowledged Wizkid’s long‑standing celebration of Fela’s legacy, citing his appearances at Felabration and his positive remarks about the Afrobeat pioneer.​ Fabiyi reminded Wizkid that he represents a historic revolution in Nigerian and Afrobeat music, and encouraged him to “manage this storm very well” rather than react in a way that could be seen as turning his back on Fela. He described Fela as a symbol of resistance who gave voice to the voiceless, fought corruption and made sacrifices that helped shape Nigeria’s democracy.​ He praised Wizkid for doing more than many others to sustain Fela’s legacy, noting that performing at Felabration, tattooing Fela’s image […]

Music is about impact, not numbers – Jaywon

Afrobeats singer Jaywon has told young artists that the true value of music lies in its impact, not in streaming figures, charts or social media hype. He spoke in an Instagram post while reacting to recent online drama involving Seun Kuti and Wizkid.​ Jaywon lamented that many up‑and‑coming acts now equate success purely with numbers, PR and money to push their songs. He warned that believing high streams automatically make someone “the best artist in the world” shows a shallow understanding of what music really is.​ According to him, music should change minds and touch souls, leaving a legacy that outlives trends and online clout. He pointed to legends like Bob Marley and Fela Anikulapo‑Kuti as examples of artists whose songs remain timeless because of their message and impact, not just commercial success.​ Jaywon urged young creatives to focus on […]

Shaffy Bello says Wizkid, Davido, Burna match Fela’s status

Actress Shaffy Bello has said Nigerian stars Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy have reached the same level of international recognition as Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti. She made the comment on the podcast What I Know co hosted by Korty EO.​ Asked if today’s artists could ever become as big and impactful as Fela, Bello replied that some have already done so. She pointed to global fame as the key measure, saying international recognition is what people use to judge when an artist has reached that level.​ Bello said that in terms of recognition, power and money, the so called Big 3 and even a fourth star have matched Fela’s impact. She listed Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and Asake as examples of artists who, in her view, now stand on that pedestal.​ Her comments came after Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, […]

Seyi Sodimu says Davido could win governorship over Burna Boy

Singer Seyi Sodimu has compared the influence of Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, saying each member of the Afrobeats Big 3 holds a different kind of power. He described Burna Boy as having conquered the stage musically, called Wizkid special, and said Davido’s influence goes far beyond music.​ Speaking on the podcast What I Know, Sodimu argued that Davido’s popularity could be strong enough to win a governorship election. He added that he does not believe Burna Boy could win a governorship contest in the same way.​ Sodimu said that Davido’s appeal cuts across music, politics and everyday life. As an example, he suggested that if Davido ran for governor today, he would emerge victorious.​ His view echoes an earlier comment by Senator Ben Murray Bruce, who previously predicted that Davido could one day become governor of Osun State. Davido’s […]

Sampling Fela music doesn’t make you him – Seun Kuti

Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti has cautioned Nigerian artists against calling themselves the “New Fela”, insisting that sampling or remixing his late father’s music does not make them equivalent to the Afrobeat legend. Speaking on the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, he said while some have done good samples of Fela’s songs, it is “crazy” for anyone to claim they are his dad simply because they use his sound.​ Seun pointed to big Nigerian stars like Wizkid and Burna Boy, who have sampled Fela, noting that this trend of declaring oneself a new version of a late icon seems peculiar to Nigeria. He questioned why nobody refers to themselves as “the new Bob Marley” elsewhere, arguing that such labels show how “wild” things can get in the Nigerian music scene.​ He stressed that Fela was not just about music but about activism, […]
