The project takes its title from a significant period in Kunmie’s life, representing the age when he began to fully understand and embrace his artistic identity.

Following the success of his breakout record Arike, the album gives listeners a much closer look at the experiences that shaped him, including the bold decision to leave home at 16 in pursuit of his musical ambitions.

Sonically, 22 sits at the intersection of Afro-soul, R&B, and modern African pop. Warm acoustic elements, atmospheric keys, and layered vocals create a soft but detailed backdrop for Kunmie’s expressive delivery.

His distinctive voice remains at the center of the project, carrying the emotional weight of each record with a natural sense of vulnerability.

The album also brings together an impressive collection of collaborators, with Zlatan, Phyno, Lojay, Wizard Chan and Joeboy adding their individual styles to different moments across the project.

Beyond its sound, 22 feels deeply autobiographical. Kunmie uses the album to reflect on growing into adulthood, chasing ambition, dealing with heartbreak, and maintaining faith while navigating the uncertainties that come with success.

The rapid attention surrounding his music also becomes part of the story. Rather than presenting himself as someone who has everything figured out, Kunmie explores the pressure, self-doubt and vulnerability that can accompany a sudden rise, turning those experiences into honest songwriting.

At its core, 22 is a reflection of perseverance and self-discovery. The album allows Kunmie to move beyond the recognition of his breakout records and establish himself through a fuller, more personal body of work.

Now available across major streaming platforms, 22 introduces Kunmie as an artist with a clear sense of identity, emotional depth and a story that extends far beyond the hits that first brought him into the spotlight.

Built around sensual melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Gorgeous tells the story of being completely captivated by a woman whose beauty, charm, and personality leave a lasting impression. The song captures the excitement and vulnerability that come with falling deeply for someone who feels truly special.

Throughout the track, Kunmie and Lojay express affection and devotion, highlighting not only physical attraction but also the emotional bond that strengthens their admiration. Their lyrics paint a picture of a relationship built on appreciation, passion, and genuine connection.

Kunmie & Lojay – “Gorgeous” Lyrics

Gorgeous but you don’t know that you really are gorgeous
I’d lose my way if the feelings you have for me dies here
And when you smile o ma dabi kpe there’s nothing I can do for you
Ki wo ba mi so if there’s anything that you want me to do

Even time can’t separate my love for you
Laba laba for my belly
Na who say I no go lose my way for you
Oh my shawty you know that I’m not perfect
Still you love me imperfect
My account go red for you

Why you no know say you gorgeous
You get everything to be pompous
This your bum bum bigger than Bombay
Cause e gobe

Girl you know your body is a miracle from oluwa’s working
I’m liable to give you my offering oh my lovely I put all my all in
No be say your personality no dey gree with my person
So If I get a little bit sentimental, my love

Make you pity me my darling
This your rear view (bumbum)
Shey you know say your body dey talk true
Baby as I look your menu
Too sure

Order your recipe and chop your flavor
And e be like say na cruise
But baby excuse my love for you
Na me be the kokoro for cupboard
Oh girl you gorgeous o

The track brings together two voices known for expressive songwriting and soft, immersive vocal delivery, creating a soundscape that leans heavily into mood, chemistry, and emotional depth rather than high-energy production.

At its core, “Gorgeous” revolves around admiration for a woman who seems unaware of her own beauty. The song captures that quiet tension of noticing someone’s charm and presence while they themselves remain oblivious to the effect they have.

Built on warm Afro-R&B instrumentation, the record paints a picture of love that is gentle yet consuming—rooted in emotional awareness, attraction, and appreciation of both physical and personality-driven beauty.

Kunmie opens the track with a reflective verse, addressing a woman whose impact on him feels both overwhelming and understated. He highlights her smile, presence, and the emotional uncertainty she creates, noting the depth of feelings that come from her not even realizing her effect.

“She does not even see what I see, and that is what makes it deeper,” he said.

Lojay complements the tone with a calm and repetitive hook that anchors the record’s message. His delivery reinforces the idea of steady admiration, adding balance without disrupting the song’s soft emotional flow.

Rather than shifting into conflict or longing, the track maintains a sense of clarity—love expressed simply and sincerely.

Overall, “Gorgeous” stands as a heartfelt Afro-R&B offering centered on affection without complication, highlighting the chemistry between both artists and their ability to translate subtle emotion into music.

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms via ONErpm.

Speaking on the I Said What I Said podcast, the 29-year-old artist reflected on how his expectations before entering the industry were quite different from what he eventually experienced.

According to him, the entertainment space is filled with constant temptation, and learning to manage it is a key part of surviving long-term.

“There is a lot of temptation in the music industry. You will see a lot of things, but you are not meant to touch. I used to think I would frolic with a lot of ladies because there are babes everywhere. But when you have about 100 girls talking to you, that is when you need to cultivate discipline. I realised if you want a long career like the Big 3, you have to stay away from too many girls,” he said.

Lojay explained that while the outside world often assumes artists live carefree and uncontrolled lives, the reality is often the opposite. Many, he noted, are actually very intentional about their actions because they understand how quickly reputation and career longevity can be affected.

For him, the lesson has been clear—success in music is not just about talent or hits, but also about discipline, focus, and knowing when to step back from distractions that come with fame.

“I used to think when I become a superstar, I’d carry plenty girls… I even had like 100 in my DM
But I realized if you want a long career like the Big 3, you have to stay away from too many girls”

The title itself sets the tone for the record, blending imagery of luxury and street grit—“mink” symbolising opulence, while “SB” anchors it in raw, urban energy. The result is a bold, high-impact track that balances swagger with sophistication.

Sonically, “MINK SB” carries JAE5’s signature touch: deep basslines, crisp percussion, and a rhythmic structure that gives each artist room to shine without overcrowding the production. Skepta steps in with a seasoned, authoritative verse that reinforces his veteran status in UK rap, while Skillibeng injects the track with his energetic, dancehall-inflected cadence.

Holding the record together is Lojay, whose smooth, melodic delivery adds a distinctly Lagos flavour. His hook provides the emotional and sonic bridge that connects the UK and Caribbean influences into a unified Afro-diasporic sound.

At its core, “MINK SB” serves as a musical link between London, Lagos, and Kingston, showcasing how global genres like grime, Afrobeats, and dancehall can coexist seamlessly when guided by the right production vision.

Released under Promised Land Recordings, the single has already begun gaining strong traction on playlists, with early listeners praising its effortless chemistry and international appeal. Critics have described it as another reminder of JAE5’s ability to curate world-class collaborations that feel organic rather than forced.

As the track continues its rollout, “MINK SB” positions itself as a standout global anthem, reinforcing the growing influence of Afro-diasporic collaborations on the international music stage.

In a recent interview with the Sunday Sun, the artist spoke about the importance of maintaining a clear line between his personal life and public persona, noting that fame comes with pressures that must be carefully managed.

While acknowledging the overwhelming support he receives from fans, Lojay explained that he has learned to be intentional about the kind of energy he allows into his space.

According to him, setting boundaries is essential—not just for his well-being, but also for preserving the authenticity of his music.

He further revealed that his creative process is deeply rooted in self-awareness, stressing that he avoids making music that feels forced or lacking in substance.

“I appreciate the love, genuinely. But I’ve learned balance—you can’t feed every type of energy. I keep my private life separate from my artistry because once you lose that boundary, the music starts to feel performative instead of real. There was a point where I loved someone deeply but lost myself in the process. That taught me that love should add to you, not erase you. Since then, I’ve written from a place of balance, loving, but with awareness,” he stated.

Reflecting on personal experiences, the singer hinted at lessons learned from past relationships, noting how losing himself in love once shaped his current outlook. He added that those moments have influenced his artistry, allowing him to create music that is both honest and emotionally grounded.

Lojay’s comments highlight a growing trend among modern artists who are choosing intentional living and emotional clarity as they navigate fame without losing their sense of identity.

In a heartfelt conversation with The Nation, the singer revealed how a past relationship once pushed him to the point of losing his identity.

“There was a point where I loved someone deeply but lost myself in the process,” he admitted, a reflection that hints at just how consuming the experience had been. “Love should add to you, not erase you. Since then, I’ve written from a place of balance loving, but with awareness.”

Known for channeling raw feelings into his music, Lojay explained how that chapter reshaped his entire approach to love, creativity, and even fame.

He spoke about handling the constant attention, especially from female fans — a part of the job that can easily get overwhelming if not managed carefully.

“I appreciate the love, genuinely,” he said. “But I’ve learned balance. You can’t feed every type of energy. Once you lose that boundary, the music starts to feel performative instead of real.”

Now preparing to release his debut album XOXO, Lojay describes this next project as a collection born from clarity rather than chaos. Every phase of his artistry, he says, reflects a chapter of his emotional journey.

“LV N ATTN was desire, Gangster Romantic was heartbreak, and XOXO is acceptance,” he explained. “It’s about loving, losing, healing, and still choosing to love again — just differently.”

Even as his global audience grows, Lojay stays grounded by leaning on the people and practices that centre him.

“Sometimes I just disappear for a bit… no music, no social media. Just time to breathe and reconnect with God and my people,” he said.

With XOXO, he hopes listeners won’t just hear the music but feel it — feel him.

“If someone finishes the album and says, ‘Yeah, I’ve been there,’ then I did my job.”

What began as a standout track from Lojay’s breakout EP LV N ATTN, produced by the ever-consistent hitmaker Sarz, has now grown into an international success story, one that has just been stamped with Gold certification in the United States.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) made it official on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, confirming that Monalisa (Remix), featuring American superstar Chris Brown, has sold and streamed over 500,000 units across the country.

It’s been quite a journey for the song. When it first dropped, Monalisa quickly became a fan favorite across Nigeria and the African continent. But it was the remix with Chris Brown that catapulted it into global fame, a seamless blend of Lojay’s soulful vocals, Sarz’s sleek production, and Chris Brown’s signature R&B vibe.

The collaboration didn’t just top charts; it made waves across radio stations, playlists, and dance floors from Lagos to Los Angeles.

For Lojay and Sarz, this milestone marks another proud chapter in their ever-rising careers. The duo has become synonymous with pushing Afrobeats beyond borders, and this latest recognition only reaffirms their influence on the global stage.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Lojay and Chris Brown have struck Gold or rather, platinum.

Earlier this year, their joint single Sensational was certified Platinum by the RIAA after crossing the one-million-unit mark in combined sales and streams.

With Monalisa now officially Gold, the song stands as yet another shining example of how Afrobeats continues to bridge continents, cultures, and sounds, uniting fans around the world through rhythm and soul.

Afrobeats singer Lojay has showered praise on veteran rapper Olamide for his outstanding contribution to their new joint single, Suru.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, Lojay expressed deep admiration for Olamide’s verse, calling it pure brilliance.

The collaboration highlights Olamide’s rare ability to blend seamlessly across genres while continuing to uplift and inspire a new wave of Afrobeats artists.

With Suru, both artists showcase the beauty of cross-generational synergy — a fusion of melody, wisdom, and style that keeps Afrobeats evolving.

Two years in the making, Symbol of Hope, Zlatan’s third studio album, has finally arrived, and it’s everything the Zanku pioneer promised: raw, introspective, unfiltered, and full of heart.

This isn’t just an album; it’s a living testament to endurance, grit, and the unshakable belief that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you end up.

From the very first note, it’s clear that Symbol of Hope is more than a music project, it’s a philosophy. Across 15 tracks, Zlatan turns his life story into a sonic blueprint for survival, equal parts cautionary tale and motivation manual.

The album’s title isn’t just symbolic; it’s deeply personal. In a candid sit-down featuring his son Shiloh, Zlatan revealed how his own struggles growing up in Ikorodu shaped the spirit of the project.

“When I was growing up, I used to have people I looked up to. I saw people who made it from nothing to something,” he shared. “They were symbols that gave me hope. And now, a lot of people look up to me too, including you. I’ve become a symbol of hope to many.”

That sentiment echoes through the entire project. On “Pay Day,” Zlatan fires back at his doubters with calm defiance, while “Oyoyo” finds him in a reflective mood, embracing patience and self-belief. These are the words of a man who’s seen both the hustle and the harvest.

Of course, Zlatan doesn’t walk this journey alone. Symbol of Hope reads like a celebration of the Afrobeats family tree. Davido, Olamide, Flavour, Victony, Mayorkun, Shallipopi, Bhadboi OML, Qing Madi, Lojay, Idowest, TerryTheVoice, and FOLA all join the movement. Yet, their appearances feel organic, not strategic, like friends returning home for a long-awaited reunion.

One of the album’s most striking moments comes on “Gimme Your Love,” where Zlatan reconnects with Olamide, his early supporter and collaborator from 2017’s My Body.

Their synergy is effortless, gritty, emotional, and nostalgic. Meanwhile, Davido jumps on “Hip Hop Messiah” to co-sign Zlatan’s claim to cultural leadership, and Flavour blesses “Genesis” with a soulful layer of Highlife depth. Rising star Qing Madi brings tenderness and introspection to “Demons,” confronting fame’s mental toll with poise beyond her years.

Musically, Zlatan sounds sharper than ever. He balances his trademark street bravado with maturity, gliding between chest-thumping anthems and heartfelt storytelling.

Tracks like “Odeshi” and “Happy Day” bang hard for the hustlers, while “Diamond” explores love through the lens of survival, a poetic confession from someone who’s learned that in the streets, affection and ambition often collide. “Alpha & Omega” with Bhadboi OML peels back the layers, revealing a spiritual side that’s rarely seen but deeply felt.

What ties it all together is Zlatan’s evolving artistry. His delivery remains fierce, but now there’s restraint and clarity where there once was chaos. You can feel the discipline of a man who’s not only rapping to survive anymore but also to inspire.

Symbol of Hope follows 2019’s Zanku and 2021’s Resan, but this time, Zlatan isn’t just chasing hits; he’s cementing a legacy. Every verse, feature, and beat feels intentional, a culmination of everything he’s learned since his Ikorodu days.

In the end, Symbol of Hope isn’t just about Zlatan’s triumph; it’s about everyone who sees themselves in his journey. It’s a love letter to dreamers, hustlers, and believers who refuse to be defined by struggle.

The Zanku Boss hasn’t just dropped an album; he’s delivered an anthem for a generation that never stops pushing. The message is clear: hope isn’t found; it’s created.

Renowned for his melodic prowess and genre-bending finesse, Lojay curates a body of work that glides effortlessly between silky Afrobeats rhythms and R&B sensuality, his smooth vocals glimmering over lush soundscapes that balance emotion with groove.

Executive-produced by P.Priime, Rexxie, and other sonic architects, XOXO captures the ever-shifting shades of love from playful flirtations to deep vulnerability.

The album’s production blends vibrant percussion, ambient synths, and soulful hooks, evoking both late-night confessions and sun-drenched escapes.

Now with a full-length project under his belt, Lojay cements his status as one of Nigeria’s most distinctive voices, crafting music that speaks as much to the heart as it does to the dance floor.

XOXO unfolds like a love letter in motion, every track pulsing with intimacy and self-awareness. Lojay’s velvety tone and meticulous attention to detail anchor the project’s sonic world, one where traditional highlife nuances meet trap cadences and soft reggaeton undertones.

The album’s collaborations deepen its emotional palette:

• Odeal lends ethereal harmonies to the sultry Mwah!
• Feid infuses Latin warmth into Body, transforming it into a slow-burning cross-cultural gem
• Tyla’s golden vocals illuminate Memories with tender reflection
• Victony injects kinetic energy into Sawa, turning it into a heartfelt anthem

Meanwhile, solo standouts like Shiver and Jericho showcase Lojay’s dynamic range, shifting from high-energy grooves to stripped-back ballads in a way that makes XOXO a truly zero-skips experience.

Visually and thematically cohesive, the album’s red-hued cover art depicting Lojay in a dimly lit crimson chamber mirrors the sensual warmth and emotional gravity woven through each song.

More than just a debut, XOXO feels like a culmination of Lojay’s evolution, a project that not only honors Afrobeats’ lineage but also redefines its emotional language for a global audience.

You just know Lojay’s XOXO is going to be an album for real lovers and yearners, the kind that makes you feel every heartbeat and heartbreak just from the rollout alone.

With each XOXO Chapter, Lojay has peeled back another layer of emotion, drawing us deeper into his world of love, loss, passion, and vulnerability.

Now, Episode 3: “I’ve Been Saving Myself In A Bid For You” feels like his most revealing yet a quiet confession wrapped in longing, the kind of sentiment only Lojay can turn into something so intimate and human.

The rollout has been nothing short of cinematic. Each chapter plays out like a diary entry from someone caught in love’s push and pull, yearning for connection, swallowing tears, and hoping to be seen. The tone, the visuals, the storytelling, everything about XOXO screams that this isn’t just another Afrobeats project. It’s a full-blown emotional experience.

Lojay has mastered the art of vulnerability. His voice doesn’t just sing it aches, it bleeds, it feels. Every lyric lands with weight; every melody lingers long after it ends. From the snippets we’ve heard, XOXO promises a lush fusion of sensual R&B textures and sleek Afrobeats rhythms, anchored by that unmistakable melancholy that’s become Lojay’s signature.

With XOXO dropping this Friday, anticipation is at an all-time high. It’s shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged albums of the year — the kind that’ll have you texting your ex or lying awake, staring at the ceiling, deep in your feelings.
