’Fast-rising Afrobeats sensation Fido, the young hitmaker behind Awolowo and Joy Is Coming, has sparked fresh excitement online after dropping a captivating visual teaser for his upcoming single titled Chickendo.
The short clip, which has been circulating on social media, combines high-end aesthetics with rich Igbo cultural elements, indicating that the new release will convey both festive energy and profound cultural pride.
The teaser opens with strong nighttime visuals that instantly convey celebration and confidence. Fido steps into the frame dressed in full traditional elegance, rocking a red-and-gold embroidered top, layered coral beads, and the iconic Igbo red cap.
With a decorated white hand fan in hand, he strikes the image of an artist fully embracing both success and heritage.
Adding to the cultural richness, a musician is seen playing the ekwe, the traditional slit drum whose earthy rhythm pulses underneath the modern Afrobeats vibe. Just behind them, a white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon stands tall, underscoring the themes of wealth, ambition, and enjoyment that the teaser radiates.

Throughout the clip, bold on-screen phrases pop in and out: “Money on My Mind,” “Igbo Kwenu,” “Where My Money Dey,” and “No Dey Use My Money Play”—hinting that Chickendo is built around celebration, achievement, and the lively spirit associated with the December groove.
A quick nod to nightlife mogul Obi Cubana also reinforces the song’s luxury-and-prosperity narrative.
With the festive season fast approaching, the upcoming single is already shaping up to be Fido’s next big anthem. While Joy Is Coming showcased a softer, emotional side of the singer, Chickendo appears ready to usher in a more vibrant, culturally grounded phase of his artistry.
Fans are now waiting eagerly for Fido to announce the official release date, as the track looks set to take over playlists and December party scenes across the country.
