The 14-track project brings together a mix of solo records and high-profile collaborations, marking another important step in his growing career.

The album’s title draws inspiration from football, where the number nine shirt is traditionally worn by a team’s main striker. FOLA has embraced that comparison, positioning himself as the hitmaker expected to deliver when it matters. With 9, he puts that confidence to the test.

Ahead of the release, FOLA gradually introduced listeners to the project through a series of singles. These included Treat U Right featuring Ayra Starr, attention!, and fine ting (fine $hit). He later joined forces with Bella Shmurda and Zlatan on it’s over, released on September 10 alongside an official music video. The collaboration also serves as the album’s closing track.

Beyond the singles, a few records have already generated interest. Crime reportedly reworks elements of 2Baba’s 2006 classic, If Love Is a Crime, while WAF gained traction online after an unreleased version surfaced on TikTok in May.

The album also boasts an impressive guest list. Davido appears on 2am In Toronto, BNXN features on My Type, and Darkoo joins FOLA on Hold U Down. These collaborations bring different voices into the project while giving listeners more reasons to explore the full tracklist.

Still, 9 arrives with expectations attached. FOLA’s debut album, Catharsis, surpassed 100 million streams and spent several weeks at the top of the Official Nigeria Top 100 Albums chart, helping establish him as one of the artists to watch in the Nigerian music scene.

Since then, he has continued building his catalogue through collaborations with artists including Victony, Bella Shmurda and BNXN. His appearance alongside Davido and Mayorkun on B4 B4 further strengthened his profile.

Now that 9 is out, the focus shifts to what FOLA does next. With a successful debut behind him and an album packed with collaborations and previously teased records, he has another opportunity to show that he can consistently deliver the hits his growing audience expects.

Set for release on October 9 through Dangbana Republik and EMPIRE, the 14-track project features an impressive mix of collaborations, bringing together Davido, Ayra Starr, BNXN, Darkoo, Bella Shmurda, and Zlatan.

Sharing the tracklist, FOLA explained that the album was built around personal experiences and a deliberate creative process, with each record carrying its own meaning.

“Made this one with some of my favourite producers, musicians and artists. Every song came from somewhere real, every detail meant something.”

He also shared his hope that the project connects with listeners wherever they might find themselves when it arrives.

“Wherever you are, whatever you’re going through, it is my hope that when you hear it, this album finds you at the right time. 9 is coming.”

The album begins with “awade” before moving into “how many?” Davido then joins FOLA on the third track, “2am in Toronto,” which is also scheduled to arrive ahead of the full album.

Elsewhere, Ayra Starr features on “treat u right,” while BNXN appears on “my type.” Darkoo joins the project on “hold u down,” and Bella Shmurda and Zlatan team up with FOLA for the closing record, “it’s over.”

The complete tracklist for 9 is:

1. awade
2. how many?
3. 2am in toronto — ft. Davido
4. stubborn
5. miss u ii
6. in order
7. treat u right — ft. Ayra Starr

14. it’s over — ft. Bella Shmurda x Zlatan

The album title also ties into FOLA’s football-inspired identity. The singer has previously described himself as “the striker,” making the number nine a fitting reference to the position traditionally associated with a center-forward.

There is also a nostalgic touch on the project, with “crime” reportedly incorporating a sample from a classic record by Nigerian music legend 2Baba.

9 follows FOLA’s debut album, Catharsis, and arrives at a point when the singer is building serious momentum around his growing catalogue and live performances.

Before the full project lands, fans will get an early taste of the album through “2am in toronto” with Davido, scheduled for release on Friday.

With a strong guest list and 14 tracks ready to go, FOLA’s 9 is shaping up to be an important next step in his musical journey.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, the singer brought his Homecoming Concert to Agodi Gardens, turning the venue into a celebration of his journey, his growing career and the city he continues to call home.

The excitement had been building well before the first performance. FOLA had announced that early-bird tickets were already sold out and more tickets were being made available, while encouraging fans to make the night a proper gathering of friends and family.

There was also something personal about the choice of location. After steadily building his profile across Nigeria, FOLA was returning to the city where his story began. That made the show feel less like a regular tour stop and more like a homecoming in every sense of the word.

The timing could hardly have been more fitting. With his next project, 9, scheduled for release on October 9, the concert arrived just days before another major moment in his career, giving fans a chance to celebrate what he has achieved while getting an early taste of what lies ahead.

And FOLA made sure the music started on a memorable note.

The singer opened his set in a green-and-white agbada, complete with a matching abetiaja cap and traditional beads. He began with an unreleased song, immediately giving the crowd something exclusive before moving into the records they already knew by heart.

Songs including “B4 B4” and “Very Soon“, and You soon took over the venue, with fans singing along and turning the performance into a celebration of FOLA’s recent rise.

B4 B4 came with particularly strong momentum. The Davido and Mayorkun collaboration featuring FOLA had previously spent four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Official Nigeria Top 100, adding to a remarkable 2026 run in which FOLA had already picked up three chart-topping records.

That success was evident in the crowd. This was an audience that had followed the music closely and had come prepared to sing every word.

FOLA also brought some familiar faces along for the celebration.

Ayo Maff, TML Vibez, T.I Blaze, Bella Shmurda, Kidd Carder and Magixx all joined the night’s performances, creating a lively mix of some of the younger names currently making waves in Nigerian music.

Bella Shmurda’s appearance carried an added layer given their history. FOLA joined Bella’s Dangbana Republik in 2024, making his presence at the Ibadan show another link between the singer’s past and the career he is building today.

The night also attracted entertainment personalities including Yhemo Lee and Kamo State, adding to the buzz around the event.

But beyond the guest appearances and performances, it was FOLA’s connection with his fans that produced some of the biggest moments.

At one point, the singer brought a supporter on stage after discovering that the fan had tattooed FOLA’s face on his arm. Moved by the gesture, FOLA rewarded him with ₦500,000.

That was not the only example of the relationship between the singer and his supporters. Before the concert, FOLA had also responded to a fan who wanted to attend the show while visiting his father’s family home, offering to arrange an SUV so the fan and his family could attend the event in VIP style.

For FOLA, the Ibadan homecoming came at a moment when his career is moving at a serious pace. His chart success continues to grow, his new project is around the corner, and he heads into the upcoming Headies with 10 nominations, including a Next Rated nod.

So, while the Homecoming Concert was one night in Ibadan, it represented something much bigger for FOLA: a chance to return to where it all started and celebrate just how far the journey has taken him.

Released through EMPIRE, the six-track project clocks in at roughly 16 minutes and keeps the guest list tight, with Asake and FOLA joining BNXN across two standout records.

The EP gets underway with Eja Meja, a collaboration with Asake that brings both artists together on the opening track. FOLA takes a different route on Shamaya, while Online gives BNXN the space to carry the project alone.

The latter had already served as the final teaser ahead of the EP, introducing listeners to its themes of quiet confidence and maintaining momentum both at home and beyond Nigeria.

The title “Still In Charge” also extends the creative direction BNXN began exploring with his 2025 sophomore album, CAPTAIN. That project marked another step in his journey toward having greater control over his sound and artistic direction.

The new EP arrives after CAPTAIN and his joint project with Sarz, The Game Needs Us, giving BNXN another release to add to an already active 2026.

Following its release, Still In Charge also made an early appearance on the Apple Music Nigeria albums chart, reflecting the immediate attention around the project. With its compact runtime, selective collaborations and focus on BNXN’s signature vocals, the EP adds another chapter to his steadily evolving Afrobeats catalogue.

The project’s fifth track, “Shamaya,” features FOLA and delivers a confident blend of attraction, desire, romance, and luxury. The song switches effortlessly between Yoruba and English, with both artists leaning into themes of style, self-assurance, and living large.

Anchored by its catchy, repeated “shamaya” refrain, the track has a playful energy that adds to its bold, larger-than-life feel. Read the infectious lyrics below.

BNXN & FOLA – “Shamaya” Lyrics

The project’s latest chart position reflects the strong attention it has received since its release, with BNXN once again leaning into the Afrobeats and Afro-fusion sound that has become central to his catalogue.

Still In Charge also brings together notable collaborations with Asake and FOLA, adding different textures to the singer’s melodic and soulful approach.

The EP further highlights BNXN’s ability to move between different sounds while maintaining the identity that has kept him relevant across streaming platforms.

With the project continuing to climb and attract listeners, BNXN is steadily adding another chapter to an already eventful year, further extending his run among the current generation of Afrobeats acts.

The singer confirmed that the new album will arrive on October 16, 2026, giving fans their first full look at what he has been preparing for his next chapter.

The album also brings some interesting pairings. Young Jonn joins Kizz Daniel alongside Krizbeatz and Wave Choir on ‘Owo Oluwa,’ while Qing Madi links up with Jamaican dancehall singer Jahmiel for ‘Enough.’

Another notable collaboration comes on ‘Taba,’ where Kizz Daniel brings together Seyi Vibez and BNXN. Elsewhere, British rapper Tinie Tempah makes an appearance on ‘Brown Paper Bag,’ while Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Shatta Wale features on ‘Te Amo.’

The 12-track project moves between solo records and collaborations, giving Kizz Daniel plenty of room to showcase different sides of his sound.

The Dangbana Republic singer made the announcement on Thursday, September 10, 2026, confirming that the project will be titled 9 and is scheduled to arrive on October 9, 2026.

The announcement comes as FOLA continues to build momentum following a strong run of collaborations and releases. His recent single, Treat U Right, featuring Ayra Starr, and the Davido- and Mayorkun-assisted B4 B4 have further pushed his name into the spotlight.

Now, with 9 on the horizon, attention will gradually shift towards what the singer has prepared for the project, including its tracklist, guest appearances, and production credits.

FOLA has steadily established himself as one of the emerging voices to watch within Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene, and the new album represents another opportunity for him to showcase how far his sound and artistry have developed.

Interestingly, fans will not have to wait until October for another taste of the project. FOLA also revealed that he would be releasing a new song at midnight on Thursday, giving listeners something to enjoy while they count down to the album.

Explaining the meaning behind the title, 9, FOLA drew inspiration from football, where the number is traditionally worn by the striker leading the attack.

However, the singer has given the number his own interpretation, describing a 9 as “the artist you call when you need a hit.”

With the October 9 release date now confirmed, FOLA’s next chapter officially has a name, and he appears ready to prove that he is the number to call when it is time for a hit.

The collaboration pairs FOLA’s melodic approach with Bella Shmurda’s street-pop energy and Zlatan’s unmistakable delivery, creating a record that moves between vulnerability and celebration.

Produced by Shallythechampion and Sbthaproducer, “It’s Over” rides on a driving Afro-fusion groove layered with soft drums, crisp rimshots, and brass elements. The production keeps the rhythm moving without becoming overcrowded, allowing each artist to bring their personality to the song.

FOLA takes the lead with a soulful chorus that sets the emotional direction of the record, reflecting on the journey from struggle to triumph. Bella Shmurda follows with his familiar blend of street wisdom and spiritual reflections, adding another layer to the song’s message.

Zlatan then raises the energy with a fast-paced verse filled with Yoruba punchlines and his signature ad-libs, giving the track the street-ready finish his fans have come to expect.

Together, the three artistes find a natural chemistry on “It’s Over,” turning personal struggles and past obstacles into a collective celebration of progress.

The new release sees FOLA further expand his sound while connecting with two of Nigerian street-pop’s established voices, resulting in a record that feels equally suited to personal victory moments and loud street celebrations.

On “attention!”, FOLA explores themes of money, attraction, confidence, and the freedom that comes with enjoying life. Switching effortlessly between English, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yoruba, he delivers the song with a playful and self-assured energy.

The track captures FOLA’s carefree approach to life, while its catchy rhythm and lyrics reflect his appreciation for success, romance, and the finer things that come with it.

FOLA – attention! Lyrics

Intro
You just want to chill, oh
But problem will find you come for where the chilling spot
