After years away from center stage, the hip-hop pioneer has announced a major headline show, his first in a long while, and the anticipation is already electric.

The event, fittingly titled RETROSPECTIVE, is set for Thursday, December 26, 2025, at Hard Rock Cafe, Oniru, Lagos. It’s a venue and date carved straight into the heart of Detty December, making the perfect backdrop for a homecoming of this scale.
Known to many as “Super C” or “The Blueprint,” Naeto C is one of the artists who shaped the early blueprint of Nigerian hip-hop and helped bridge its transition into the Afrobeats era.
With timeless hits like Kini Big Deal, Ten Over Ten, and 5 and 6, he became the soundtrack for a generation. So it’s no surprise that news of his return has fans buzzing, nostalgic, and ready to rap every lyric word for word.
RETROSPECTIVE is expected to be more than just a concert—it’s a journey through his legacy. A curated walk through the moments, records, and milestones that cemented Naeto C as a cultural force.
For an artist who has spent recent years focusing on business and family, this upcoming performance feels like a rare and treasured moment.
Backed by Mainland BlockParty and heavyweight sponsors like Bet9ja, Pepsi, and The Glenlivet, the show is already shaping up to be one of December’s biggest draws.
With demand rising fast, fans are being urged to grab their tickets early because when Naeto C finally returns to a Lagos stage, seats are guaranteed to fill up quickly.
For the culture, for the nostalgia, and for the music—this is one night no true fan will want to miss.
