Throughout the track, the duo encourages confidence, resilience, and staying committed to one’s path, choosing to rise above negativity and remain thankful for every blessing along the journey.

The appointment also sees her become the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack of this scale, further expanding her influence beyond recording and performing.

In addition to overseeing the soundtrack’s creative direction, Tems recorded three brand-new original songs for the project, giving fans fresh music while helping shape the sonic identity of one of the year’s most anticipated movie releases.

The soundtrack also boasts an impressive lineup of Nigerian stars, with Ayra Starr, BNXN, and Fireboy DML contributing to the project. Their inclusion, alongside Tems’ leadership, reinforces the growing influence of Afrobeats on the global entertainment stage.

Acclaimed filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood revealed why Tems was the natural choice to lead the soundtrack, applauding her creativity and the quality of the final body of work.

“I wanted Tems to curate the soundtrack. I wanted her to executive produce it. She’s actually the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack at this level, which is incredible. She put together an epic soundtrack. There are absolutely no skips… The soundtrack is so amazing, and I’m so proud of Tems, who had never done this before and created something truly extraordinary.”

The director’s praise highlights the confidence placed in Tems to create a soundtrack capable of matching the scale and emotion of the film. Her new role reflects a significant step in her artistic journey, showcasing her ability to lead major creative projects beyond the recording studio.

Afrobeats singer BNXN has shared his thoughts on the long-running debate over whether musicians or athletes are wealthier, arguing that NBA players operate on a financial level that most Nigerian artists cannot match.

The singer, formerly known as Buju, made the remarks during a lengthy livestream with popular streamer Ojo, where the duo reportedly spent several hours discussing music, fame and life behind the scenes.

Drawing from his personal experiences, BNXN explained that his friendships with a number of NBA players have given him a close look at the scale of wealth enjoyed by professional basketball stars.

“I am friends with a few NBA players. These guys have so much money. Nigerian artists don’t even have as much money as them,” he said.

Although he did not mention any of the players by name or provide specific figures, BNXN maintained that the financial gap between top basketball players and many Nigerian musicians is significant. He also noted that footballers belong in the same category when it comes to exceptional earning power.

Away from the money conversation, the Afrobeats star also gave fans an update on his next body of work, revealing that preparations are already underway for a new album.

“I have a camp coming up in like a few months. It’s kind of how I want to record my album. I want to do it in two countries, mainly Ghana and Barbados. I’m choosing Barbados because it’s visa-free,” he said.

While BNXN stopped short of announcing a release date or unveiling the album’s title, his comments suggest the project is beginning to take shape, with recording sessions expected to be split between Ghana and Barbados.

The track brings together the distinct musical identities of both artists, creating a record that blends contemporary Afrobeats influences with smooth, melodic vocal performances.

“GBESUNMO” showcases the chemistry between Wande Coal and Ruger, with each artist delivering unique verses that add depth and balance to the production.

Wande Coal’s soulful delivery pairs seamlessly with Ruger’s energetic and charismatic style, resulting in a collaboration that feels both refreshing and cohesive.

Wande Coal, Ruger & BNXN – “Gbesunmo” Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ruger]
I see what you do for the other boys o, ẹmi lo kan (Ẹmi lo kan)
And I no fit dey try to dey sweet talk you, ’cause mo ti yo kan (Mo ti yo gan)
All the bags and cloths and the shoes I ordered baby o n bo, baby o—
And I no fit dey drag with the other boys, ’cause I dey hold gun

The artist, formerly known as Buju, shared the opinion while reflecting on his experience since arriving in the United States, drawing comparisons between everyday life in both locations.

According to BNXN, one of the most noticeable differences has been the absence of the informal financial obligations and requests that many successful individuals often encounter back home.

Sharing his thoughts, he said:

“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money.”

The singer went on to argue that the overall financial pressure associated with living in Lagos outweighs what he has personally experienced in Los Angeles.

He added:

“Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles).”

Explaining his position further, BNXN noted that accommodation appears to be the most significant expense in Los Angeles, while other day-to-day costs have not felt as demanding as those he associates with life in Lagos.

In his words:

“The only thing expensive in LA is housing. Here you just pay your rent and you’re good.”

The comments quickly generated mixed reactions online, with some social media users agreeing that the hidden costs of living in Lagos, including transportation, utilities, and social expectations, can make life surprisingly expensive.

Others, however, questioned the comparison, pointing to Los Angeles’ reputation as one of the most costly cities in the United States.

BNXN’s remarks add to the ongoing conversation about the rising cost of living in major African cities and the financial realities faced by both residents and public figures. While opinions remain divided, his comments have once again placed the spotlight on the economic pressures associated with living in Nigeria’s commercial capital.

Through its catchy melodies and flirtatious storytelling, Come Slide highlights the chemistry between two people drawn to each other on both emotional and physical levels.

Across the record, the artists explore themes of devotion, desire, and modern romance, painting a picture of love that feels exciting, playful, and deeply connected. With its soothing Afro-R&B production and smooth vocal delivery, the track stands out as a feel-good anthem about closeness, attraction, and enjoying love in its most effortless form.

Dropped on May 29, 2026, the project arrives as a bold statement of intent, showcasing an artist steadily stepping into her full creative identity.

Known for her soulful blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and global influences, Qing Madi continues to carve out a unique lane in the Nigerian music landscape. Her sound is often defined by emotional depth, smooth vocal delivery, and a natural ability to connect with both local and international audiences.

On “Barely Legal,” she expands that identity even further, pulling together an impressive lineup of heavyweight collaborators that spans multiple generations of Nigerian music. The EP features appearances from Tiwa Savage, BNXN, Victony, Zinoleesky, Zlatan, Flavour, Wande Coal, Rotimi, and Eemoh, creating a rich blend of styles and influences.

Sonically, the project moves fluidly across Afrobeats, soulful melodies, and contemporary African rhythms. Tracks like “Come Slide” highlight her ability to float effortlessly over modern production while maintaining her signature softness and emotional clarity.

Beyond its sound, “Barely Legal” carries a deeper narrative of growth, confidence, love, and youthful expression. It captures a transitional phase in both life and artistry, where curiosity meets ambition and experimentation meets direction.

What makes the EP particularly notable is how it bridges generations. With veterans like Tiwa Savage, Flavour, and Wande Coal appearing alongside newer voices such as Victony and Zinoleesky, the project becomes a meeting point between legacy and the future of Afrobeats.

Critics and listeners alike are already pointing to the EP as a pivotal moment in Qing Madi’s rise, one that could position her for even broader international recognition in the near future.

Ultimately, “Barely Legal” is more than just a sophomore project. It is a declaration that Qing Madi is not only growing but also intentionally shaping her space within the global music conversation through bold collaborations and an unmistakable Afro-fusion identity.

The Afrobeats star made his feelings known in a recent post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he criticised what he described as low-quality AI artwork being used for music releases and promotions.

“I can’t stand behind an A.I cover. Especially if it’s terrible work.”

The comment quickly sparked debate online, with fans, designers, and music lovers sharing mixed reactions about the increasing role of AI in creative spaces.

While some users defended the use of artificial intelligence as a tool for experimentation and innovation, many others agreed with BNXN, arguing that several AI-generated designs often lack originality, emotional depth, and the human creativity that traditional artwork brings.

In recent months, AI-created visuals have become more common across album covers, promotional campaigns, lyric videos, and digital branding within the entertainment industry. The trend has also raised wider concerns among creatives who fear that artificial intelligence could reduce opportunities for graphic designers, illustrators, and digital artists.

BNXN’s remarks now add to the ongoing global conversation about how AI should be integrated into art and entertainment, especially in industries where authenticity and personal expression remain highly valued.

The singer’s reaction also reflects a growing sentiment among many artists who believe technology can be useful but should not replace genuine creativity or thoughtful artistic direction.

Released on May 11, 2026, the project wasted no time climbing the charts, landing at number two on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums chart on its release day  an early sign of the anticipation that had been building around the partnership.

That momentum had already started weeks earlier with the release of the lead single “Back Outside,” which gave listeners their first glimpse into the chemistry between both artists.

The song quickly caught attention, eventually debuting at number one on Apple Music Nigeria and reportedly generating more than 22 million streams alongside over two million video views within its first few weeks.

For fans familiar with their history, the EP feels less like a surprise collaboration and more like a natural progression. BNXN and Sarz had previously connected successfully on songs like “Gwagwalada” and “Pidgin & English,” records that helped establish the creative chemistry now fully explored on The Game Needs Us.

Entirely produced by Sarz, the project blends Afrofusion, Afrobeats, and contemporary pop influences while still leaving room for experimentation. Across tracks like “Rum & Soda,” “Emotional High,” and “Frank Sinatra,” the duo leans into themes of love, emotional distance, vulnerability, and nightlife culture.

Speaking about the project, BNXN explained that the EP was intended to reflect both the current state and future direction of African music.

“The Game Needs Us, just as the name implies,” he said. “This project brings together two of Nigeria’s greatest forces to deliver a refreshing yet reflective experience. To show the dynamics in the African sound and to give a feel of where the future of the sound is headed.”

Sarz also described the collaboration as an opportunity to stretch his sound creatively.

“After ‘Gwagwalada’ and ‘Pidgin & English,’ it’s only right we continue that chemistry. Working on this record with him helped me explore some African and South American sonic themes,” he said.

The EP marks BNXN’s first major release in nearly ten months following his album CAPTAIN, while also serving as Sarz’s first major project since Protect Sarz At All Costs.

Over the years, both artists have become important figures in Afrobeats’ global expansion. BNXN, formerly known as Buju, rose to prominence after a viral freestyle caught the attention of Zlatan Ibile, eventually building a career that includes UK chart success, a Headies Next Rated win, and multiple acclaimed projects.

Sarz, on the other hand, remains one of the most respected producers in the genre, with credits spanning major records from artists like Wizkid, Lojay, Burna Boy, and Wande Coal.

Running just over fifteen minutes, The Game Needs Us keeps things concise and cohesive, favouring quality and replay value over unnecessary length — a format that increasingly defines successful collaborative EPs in today’s streaming era.

The forthcoming EP is expected to house five tracks and comes right on the momentum of their already buzzing lead single, Back Outside, which dropped in April and quickly caught the attention of fans.

With Sarz’s polished, forward-thinking production and BNXN’s smooth, emotionally rich vocals, there’s a growing sense that this project could land as a strong statement moment for both acts.

For Sarz, this isn’t unfamiliar territory. Over the years, he has built a reputation for crafting intentional joint projects that stretch sound and creativity.

From I Love Girls With Trobul with Wurld to LV N ATTN alongside Lojay and Sweetness with Obongjayar, his collaborative runs have consistently delivered fresh perspectives within the Afrobeats space.

On the other side, BNXN continues to show a knack for reinvention and strategic partnerships. His catalogue reflects a willingness to explore different sounds and formats, including his 2024 joint effort with Ruger, which produced fan favourites like Bae Bae, Ilashe, POE, and Romeo Must Die (RMD).

With The Game Needs Us, both artists appear to be aligning their strengths at just the right moment. The early signs point to a concise but impactful body of work—one that could easily extend their streak of standout collaborations while reinforcing their place in shaping the current soundscape.

The single, released through EMPIRE, arrives as BNXN’s first official outing in months since his well-received Captain album.

It feels like a smooth reintroduction; his signature laid-back melodies glide effortlessly over Sarz’s refined, rhythm-driven production, echoing the mood of stepping back into the spotlight after time spent sharpening his craft.

The timing is also interesting, coming shortly after remarks from Fat Joe, which the record subtly answers. Here, BNXN further proves why Fat Joe’s statement holds no water, as he shows the world why he’s one of the most talented artists in Africa.

Sonically, Back Outside leans into an eclectic mix. Sarz paints with a blend of African and South American influences, layering crisp percussion over smooth, flowing synths.

BNXN matches that energy with sharp, reflective lyricism—touching on his deliberate time away and hinting at a more active run ahead. Their synergy, already familiar from records like Gwagwalada, shows up again in full force, making this one feel right at home whether you’re in the gym or cruising through the night.

Beyond just a single track, the track sets the tone for something bigger. It serves as an early glimpse into their upcoming joint album, expected later in 2026. BNXN has described the project as a breath of fresh air, reflecting his current state of mind and a renewed commitment to his craft. With its easy replay value and confident energy, Back Outside makes one thing clear—the flexing has officially resumed.
