Nigerian indigenous rapper, Chinko Ekun, recently expressed his confidence in his freestyle skills by claiming that he could out-rap South African rap sensation Nasty C in a freestyle contest.

This statement was made on his official Twitter handle on October 2, 2023, during a discussion among fans about the possibility of a rap battle between the two artists.

The conversation began with a video of Nasty C freestyling on The Radar, and a fan suggested that Nigerian artists such as Dremo, Rema, Chinko Ekun, and Wale Turner could outperform Nasty C in rap.

This fan even challenged others to provide a Nasty C rap verse that was “harder” than Chinko Ekun’s, stating that if they could, she would deactivate her account.

In response to a comment that suggested Chinko Ekun couldn’t compare to Nasty C because he raps in his dialect (Yoruba), Chinko confidently asserted that he could go head-to-head with Nasty C in English for a full hour. He believed that in such a battle, Nasty C would tire out before he did.

Chinko Ekun’s statement reflects his self-assuredness in his freestyle abilities and his willingness to take on a challenge from a fellow artist known for his rap skills like Nasty C.

He wrote; “Nasty will get tired ! I will stand him with English bars one hour + non stop and I am not fvcking capping ! Y’all don’t even know what I am capable of . Na Naija market de cause all these things .”

Nasty will get tired ! I will stand him with English bars one hour + non stop and I am not fvcking capping ! Y’all don’t even know what I am capable of . Na Naija market de cause all these things . https://t.co/DDybiy3BkN

Mp3bullet pulls together 10 hottest Naija 3-way collaborations that dominated airwaves and are very much relevant in today’s music discussion.

The songs are picked from a wide array of hits from different years and from different artistes.

Reminisce ft Olamide, Phyno – Local Rappers

Baba Hafusa dropped this trio collaboration with the two baddest rappers in the game. It was bliss and arguably the most received song off Reminisce’s Baba Hafusa body of work which was released in 2015.

Falz x Olamide x Davido – Bahd Badoo Baddest

Released in 2017, Falz joined forces with Olamide and Davido to drop this song. Coined off their nicknames, this is another 3-way collaboration that got Afrobeats lovers by surprise.

Just to be clear, all three singers delivered their verses concisely.

Chinko Ekun ft Lil Kesh, Zlatan Ibile- Able God

In 2018, this was the song that sprung Ekun into the limelight. It was a national anthem, in streets and even churches. Able God really came through for the singer and his career.

Lil Kesh X Olamide X Davido – Shoki remix

After his way to the, with the original version of the song, Keshy tapped Davido and his former label boss, Olamide for a befitting remix. The remix also made waves!

Phyno ft Burna Boy, M.I – Link Up 

Who would have thought Burna Boy and M.I would have made a song together with Phyno? Anyways, their song was released in 2019 and to date, remains one of the hottest 3-way collaborations to hit the streets!

BNXN ft Seyi VIbez, Kizz Daniel Gwagwalada

As described by Mp3bullet, “Gwagwalada’ is a pure miscible blend of Afrobeats and Amapiano, distinguished by the thrilling South African kicks. It is also a track that establishes the national presence of a street in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, Abuja.”

M.I ft Olamide, Nas – Bigger

Rapper, M.I just returned to the mainstream in 2022 with a studio album tagged, ‘The Guy’. Music veterans have ways of connecting to one’s soul in manners regular singers don’t. The first piercing instrument was having the three music giants lift up their pens and deliver.

Then, the charisma, wordings, and flow gave it all it needed to succeed in our ears.

Olamide, Phyno, Lil Kesh – Ladi

The two brothers from different mothers had another hit song in 2015; this time with Lil Kesh. Ladi came with its own aura, slang, vibe and adaptability.

It was everything groovy!!!

Wizkid, Tems, Justin Bieber — Essence

Having a superstar like Bieber appeal to be on your track is a whole lot to take in positively. Big Wiz had just delivered a record-breaking track with Tems and the tune was in need of another vocalist to spice up its global reach. Humble Bieber saw an opportunity to impact Afrobeats positively and humped on a version of this groove with the orator.

Upon release of this remix, the song went on the win the 2022 BET Awards for the category of Best Collaboration.

Blaqbonez  ft Amaarae, Buju – Bling

In April 2021, Bonez presented one of the hottest trio singles of the year; a contagious melody, blended with irresistible lyrics. It was a time to behold Bonez’s glorious transmission from the up-and-coming singer to a hitmaker.

As stated on their website; “the NYSC scheme was created in a bid to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war. The unfortunate antecedents in our national history gave impetus to the establishment of the National Youth Service Corps by decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973 which stated that the NYSC is being established “for the development of common ties among the youth of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity.”

Oladipo Olamide Emmanuel, well known by his stage as Chinko Ekun, has educated parents on the fact that while education is not a scam, it should not be used as a measure of success.

According to the Obafemi Awolowo University law graduate, education is essential for a youngster to get familiar with technology, which is the direction the world is headed towards.

A youngster should not be restricted to believing that one can make a livelihood just through white-collar occupations, according to Chinko Ekun, since other chances like sports, skills, talents and other things are also essential ways to do so.

The ‘Able God’ crooner tweeted:

“Education no be scam but it ain’t the yardstick to success.
Two ways to interpret or decipher:
A child needs to be learned to catch up with technology and how the world is evolving.

A child should be taught that a living can be made via sports, skills, talents and more…”

“The way you are learning how to use the features of your social media also take time to learn how to compose a well constructed email

This would help to lay a complaint officially whenever you have one

Booom !! Wait for a reply and follow up .”

Oladipo Emmanuel, well known by his stage name Chinko Ekun, has detailed how investment fraudsters cost him millions of naira.

The singer of “Able God” claimed, in an exclusive interview with Midweek Entertainment, that the tragic incident altered his viewpoint on investing.

Chinko Ekun said, “I once fell for an investment scam worth millions of naira, after that, I decided my only investment was myself and how I looked.

“So, I saved more but something happened and I had to pull out my money to save a life and I have no regrets because as I speak, the person is still alive and I’m glad I did.”

The rapper disclosed that he wished he had collaborated more before things went downhill for him, adding that he had plans to touch lives with his music.

He said, “I would have collaborated more or stayed more consistent but my entire mind was to go for shows to help the label recoup all the money that was spent on me.

“A lot was spent on me and I am forever grateful. I plan to break records, revive rap music and touch the lives I can. I own my label now.”

Last Saturday, Chinko Ekun, in a video shared by the pastor of Harvesters International Christian Center, Bolaji Idowu, on Instagram, shared a testimony of how he was once homeless and broke after departing the record label that signed him.

“I had one of the biggest records in Nigeria titled Able God… I was going for shows, everything you know was just, sweet. Before you wake up, they’ve booked you, going for political shows… They are paying you to do what you love to do, so then, there was a lot of money. I chop money!!!

“Skip to 2020, I lost my record deal, I had an issue with my record label boss, and it was so mad and he said I should leave the house, so i lost my deal, los the house…Because of the trauma, I couldn’t live where I used to live, so I came to the island, and I was squatting with some of my friends…

From Able God to being homeless, Chinko Ekun recounts.

Popular Able God crooner, Chinko Ekun has shared a testimony of how God came through for him when he battled depression.

According to the singer who shared his testimony at the Summer Jam 2022 programme hosted by the Founder of  Harvesters Church, Pastor Bolaji Idowu, he had one of the biggest songs,(Able God) in the industry, but everything changed when he lost his deal with his former label.

Mp3bullet recalls Chinko Ekun was signed to YBNL under the auspices of Olamide and the contract was terminated in 2020.

“I had one of the biggest records in Nigeria titled Able God… I was going for shows, everything you know was just, sweet. Before you wake up, they’ve booked you, going for political shows… They are paying you to do what you love to do, so then, there was a lot of money. I chop money!!!

He added that he was depressed because he could not fathom why he lost all his deals, and at that point, everything he ever owed was crumbling.

Narrating how God intervened, Chinko noted he was squatting with Davido’s former PA, Aloma who’s apartment was in front of the beach at the Elegushi area of Lagos Island.

Then, one morning, he was prompted to go to the sea and thought to commit suicide, however, he reminded God he has not “bowed” to any other God before.

However, three months after the incident, Chino narrated he was able to record some songs, bag shows,  get royalty, new apartments and properties.

“I said God, all my life, I have never bowed to another God, I now started threatening God, I said if I bow to another God, na you cause am o, and you know in three months I was able to record some new songs, i got my royalties, i got like two endorsement deals from some companies, then i started getting some shows till i was able to get my apartments, my properties…”

Olamide is one of the greatest music brands in the industry, having catapulted a slew of artists to prominence through his record label, YBNL.

Over the years, the YBNL chairman has signed various young artists to his record label. While some of them went on to achieve even greater success after leaving his record label, others are still having difficulty breaking into Nigeria’s fiercely competitive music scene.

However, several of the former YBNL artists have occasionally criticised their former record label head on social media, accusing him of lacking the managerial abilities to support their musical success (or “blow,” in Nigerian terms).

• How Olamide Became the Most Powerful Kingmaker in the Music Industry

Xino

Xino is unquestionably the most disappointing YBNL signing. The Plateau State-born musician, who was signed virtually at the same time as Chinko Ekun, recorded two singles on the label, “TTYL” and “Nakam,” before departing under contentious circumstances in 2016.

Upon his exit from the label, the singer gave an exclusive interview to Showtime where he took swipes at Olamide, “YBNL management and other labels in Nigeria need to adopt an entrepreneurial system that focuses on artiste development because there is zero fan base in Nigeria.

“Beyonce’s husband, Jayz, is an undisputed boss because he understands this concept and creates acts that last to create others too.

I’m engaging in other money-making options, music is just an option and one that I love very much; I never asked to be signed on to YBNL, so I’m not bothered as much. But for the sake of those who dig my songs I’m coming with something soon, something cooking with Kiddominant is dropping soon.”

Nonetheless, he attempted some conciliation in 2017 by attempting to mend fences with the label and Olamide.

He wrote on his Instagram page that, “Mood, feeling like Baddo right now, I want to take this time out to apologize, first to @baddosneh for the rash things I said last year.

“I was bitter over how things took a turn, I guess I owe all of you an apology and I humbly ask that you guys overlook what I said and see me for who I really am, a happy, fun-loving and jonzing pretty boy. I also apologize to the whole YBNL team and take responsibility for my words.

I love @baddosneh as a big bro and how creative he has inspired me to want to be better. I guess I was really missing the crew; I love you guys. Thanks for not judging me and taking time out to read this. I want to get accolades and shit, but I want to get it with the people who were there for me.”

Davolee

Davolee was signed by Olamide in November 2016. This occurred following the exodus of Chinko Ekun, Lil Kesh, Viktoh, and Adekunle Gold. The label required some new blood, which it gladly received.

During the time he was assumed to be on the label, he released two truly impressive songs, 2017’s B-Banks-produced ‘Festival Bar‘ and 2018’s ‘Cirocing.’ His talent was always obvious, but it was never really supported by any hits.

Following the label’s signing of Picazo Rhap, Fireboy DML, and Yomi Blaize, signs of a split became clear.

He claimed he never had a contract with YBNL in a November 2018 interview with Naijaloaded TV.

However, Davolee let loose in February 2021 after writing on his Twitter page that “Olamide is mad.”

This occurred as a result of a tweet from MTV Base West about a programme called #YBNLRaised songs to recognise Olamide’s contribution to the music industry. The addition of “Festival Bar,” a song by Davolee, to the playlist, upset the singer.

Later, he tweeted MTV Base to express his displeasure with having his name appear beside anything relating to Olamide. An Olamide fan tried to interfere and got dragged by Davolee, alongside the YBNL boss as he said they are both mad.

Lyta

Olamide discovered Lyta while he was out on the streets. During his time with the label, he dropped the hit singles “Self Made” and “Time,” both of which featured Olamide, on September 19, 2018. He arrived at YBNL a little before Picazo, Yomi Blaize, and Fireboy DML.

However, following rumours that he was leaving YBNL earlier in the year, he finally appeared on Naijaloaded TV to announce the end of his mixed association with YBNL. He stated during the interview that despite receiving between 50,000 and 80,000 Nairas for performances, the label never provided him with a written contract.

He said, “I don’t have any deal with YBNL or Olamide. Olamide saw me on the street and helped me, I don’t have any written contract with him… YBNL and Olamide with always be part of my story. God bless Olamide, thank you for everything. No love lost.

“Yes, I was getting benefits. The used to pay me for shows. Sometimes 80k, 60k to 50k. But when I dropped my songs, ‘Temi’ and ‘Selfmade,’ I didn’t get anything.”

Olamide also responded and claimed that YBNL has a promotion calendar that Lyta was unwilling to follow. When other artists started getting their shine, the rapper claimed Lyta became unhappy. So, to avoid “bad energy” Olamide claims he unfollowed Lyta on Instagram.

Temmie Ovwasa

Temmie Ovwasa, also known as YBNL Princess, is a singer and songwriter from Nigeria. In August 2015, she signed to a record deal with the Olamide-owned record label. She left YBNL in 2020 due to a disagreement with Olamide.

Temmie recently accused Olamide of placing her in a box while she was still signed to YBNL on social media. Temmie claims that Olamide transported her from Ilorin to Lagos at the age of 18, gave her a platform, and then rejected every event and offer she received.

Additionally, she disclosed that the YBNL leader confined her in his home and forbade her from releasing music.

The controversial singer was actually replying to a fan who asked if she was still in touch with Olamide.

In this edition of Throwbacks, Mp3bullet.ng compiles a list of addictive Nigerian Street anthems that dominated the airwaves and got people dancing.

Years ago, the street hop movement was birthed as a result of the merging of Afropop and indigenous rap.

Faster beats characterized this sound, which was faster than conventional uptempo Nigerian pop tunes.

The tempo can fluctuate today, but the gritty, witty, spot-on lyrics that defined the music back then are still present.

Street hop songs with trap infusions, Amapiano components, Dancehall, and even RnB with the vivid storytelling that is typical of Nigerian music continue to remain popular on Nigerian streets.

It is obvious that Nigerian street music has had some of its brightest days in the last decade, thanks to the experimental and fluid nature of new-age performers.

Here are a few of the best Nigerian street anthems from the last decade.

Bobo – Olamide

Olamide released Bobo in 2015, which was one of the songs that helped to birth street pop. Bobo held the streets under lock and key for a long time with its signature dance step, shakiti bobo.

Efejoku – Lil Kesh ft Viktoh

Efejoku was known for being a party starter and was one of the most groovy music to come out of the last decade. Efejoku, which was released in 2016, is one of the most authentic song delivery, with both performers displaying an astounding degree of flexibility.

Fada Fada – Phyno ft. Olamide

Fada Fada, which was released in 2016, is one of Nigeria’s finest street anthem collaborations.

Fada Fada was a hit for many obvious reasons, with an Igbo and Yoruba rapper delivering bars in two separate Nigerian languages, appealing lyrics, and an up-tempo music.

Penalty – Small Doctor

Small Doctor’s funky hit single Penalty, released in 2016, is about making money and spending it excessively. Penalty won The Headies for “Best Street Hop” in 2018 with the catchphrase “if you no get money, hide your face.”

Able God – Chinko Ekun Ft. Lil Kesh x Zlatan Ibile

Able God was released in 2018, and the phrase “no more insufficient funds” became a catchphrase throughout the year. It was also behind the Able God challenge, which went viral on Twitter and Instagram and catapulted artist Zlatan into the spotlight.

Wetin We Gain – Victor AD

Legbegbe – Mr Real

With its characteristic beat and accompanying dance step, Legbegbe is arguably one of the songs that influenced the Shaku Shaku sound.

Legbegbe, which means “side by side” in street slang meaning being pickpocketed, was released in 2018 and sparked a lot of debate, with some camps alleging it was inspired by Seun Egbegbe, a Nollywood actor accused of attempting to steal nine iPhones from Computer Village.
