Fast-rising Afropop sensation Muyeez is set to inspire fans once again, this time alongside street-pop powerhouse Seyi Vibez, in their upcoming collaboration titled Champion 17.

A teaser for the track dropped earlier this week, sparking widespread excitement across social media. The short clip hints at a deeply emotional and motivational anthem, one that celebrates resilience, victory, and the journey from pain to purpose.

In the visually striking teaser, Muyeez is seen paragliding over a golden sunset skyline, symbolizing freedom, growth, and triumph. The cinematic shots cut between serene aerial views and powerful performance scenes featuring both artists, whose chemistry and charisma light up the screen.

One poignant lyric from the teaser, “Dey say I’d never make it to see this day, my mama cry because her baby paid, I turned pain to prosperity” has already struck a chord with listeners.

The line captures Muyeez’s personal story of perseverance, echoing the gritty realism that defines both his and Seyi Vibez’s artistry.

Musically, Champion 17 promises a fusion of Muyeez’s heartfelt vocal energy with Seyi Vibez’s Fuji-infused street style, creating a rousing anthem that speaks to anyone chasing their dreams against all odds.

The record marks another strong link between the two artists, following their previous appearance together on Olamide’s Free. The continued partnership showcases Muyeez’s rapid artistic evolution under Seyi Vibez’s guidance and further solidifies his position as one of the most promising new voices in Afrobeats.

Although an official release date has yet to be announced, the emotional snippet has already built massive anticipation, with fans predicting that Champion 17 could become one of the year’s most inspiring street anthems.

Olamide Adedeji has been a prominent figure in Nigerian music for over ten years. Olamide’s self-titled 17-track album is more than simply a collection of sounds; it’s a tutorial in how to grow, think, and have an effect on culture. Instead of relying solely on his previous successes, Olamide sets a new standard by fusing meaningful stories with chart-topping hits. His latest effort shows once again why he is a voice for a generation.

A Grand Opening & Spiritual Core

The first song on the album, “Prelude,” features Fxrtune and serves as a pleasant introduction that discreetly reminds listeners of Olamide’s artistic richness. The instruments make you feel something, while Fxrtune’s voice sets the stage for what’s to follow. The title of track two, “Hasibunallah,” comes from the Quran and gives the song power. In it, Olamide talks about his mother’s prayers and heavenly direction. The song powerfully illustrates Olamide’s origins and the struggles he has overcome, which remain unseen by others. This sets a deep tone early in the project.

Brotherhood, Love & Dancefloor Hits

“Kai!” is a song he worked on with Wizkid that brings back memories of a musical brotherhood that has been going on for years. There is no doubt that they have chemistry; the song has easy vibes, romantic connotations, and slick production. Wizkid’s vocal about luxury, jewels, and nightlife gives the song a luxurious feel. It’s an understated banger that you can listen to again and again.

The next song, “Luvaluvah,” starts with a mysterious female voice and ends with a confession about love and being open. Olamide’s willingness to be vulnerable gives the endeavour a personal touch. The next song, “Billionaires Club,” brings Wizkid and Darkoo back together for a big moment about money, self-worth, and having fun. It’s a musical toast to the good life without feeling bad or sorry.

Street Ties and Truthful Confessions

“Free,” which features Seyi Vibez and Muyeez, is a tribute to the streets. It’s a street-hop song that draws on Naija hustling culture and has a rough, percussive sound that is based on reality. “Duro” changes the tone with a sad story of love lost before success came, showing the terrible sacrifices that people make to become famous.

Olamide gets boastful on “Special,” and he has every right to. It’s a song about staying power, heritage, and street cred. His surprising collaboration with Dr. Dre and DJ Spinall on “Indika” takes things to a whole new level. The song has a lot of street language and a peppy beat, which makes it the ideal mix of Naija style and worldwide style.

Hustle, Heritage, and Party Starters

Olamide tells tales of ambition, brotherhood, and sheer dance energy in songs like “1 Shot,” where he pursues money and ambitions for his family, and “99,” which includes an all-star cast of Asake, Seyi Vibez, Daecolm, and Young Jonn. “Ruba” and “Rain” (with Popcaan) blend sexy and emotional sounds, making them good for both lovers and street romantics.

“Paris” with FADI is a song that celebrates cultural pride, while “Hybrid” brings back fuji fusion in a manner that sounds like Olamide’s Wo! period. “Lalakipo” has a lot of slang and fun lyrics about attractiveness and nightlife. Teens and young adults immediately fall in love with this type of song.

A Strong Ending

“Stronger,” which features BOJ, is the last song on the album. It’s a mature and thoughtful song about strength, development, and perseverance. It’s a classy way to say goodbye, happy yet down-to-earth.

Olamide’s album Olamide is more than just a music endeavour; it’s a statement about his career. It has a lot of personal stories, spiritual themes, club bangers, and deep lyrics. The initiative strengthens his position as both a trailblazer and a keeper of culture. This album has great collaborations with Wizkid, Seyi Vibez, Popcaan, Darkoo, and even Dr. Dre. It shows that Baddo is far from done; he’s just getting better.

Nigerian rap heavyweight and YBNL Nation boss Olamide has officially revealed the tracklist for his highly anticipated self-titled album, Olamide, set to arrive on June 19, 2025.

Accompanied by bold album artwork, the 17-track project boasts a compelling lineup of collaborators that spans genres, continents, and generations.

Among the standout features are Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, who appears on two tracks: Kai and Billionaires Club. Also making a double appearance is street-hop favourite Seyi Vibez, who teams up with Muyeez on Free and returns on 99 — an all-star anthem featuring Young Jonn, Asake, and Daecolm.

In one of the album’s most unexpected pairings, legendary U.S. producer Dr. Dre joins forces with Nigeria’s DJ Spinall on Indika, hinting at an ambitious sonic crossover. Other high-profile guests include British-Nigerian rapper Darkoo, Jamaican dancehall star Popcaan on Rain, BOJ on Stronger, and rising Nigerian act Fadi on Paris.

Track titles such as Prelude, Hasibunallah, Luvaluvah, Hybrid, and Lalakipo suggest a body of work that marries introspection, street grit, and sonic experimentation, true to the Olamide legacy.

This project promises a rich fusion of rap, Afrobeats, street-hop, dancehall, and international hip-hop, further solidifying Olamide’s genre-blending pioneer and cultural bridge-builder status. Known for consistently evolving his sound while nurturing emerging talent, the YBNL founder is poised to deliver yet another landmark release.

With the album set to drop in less than a week, anticipation across the Nigerian music scene and the global Afrobeats community is reaching a fever pitch. Olamide, both the artist and the album, is about to make a resounding statement.

The eligibility period for this year’s awards spanned from April 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024, during which numerous Nigerian artists released remarkable projects—some of which were recognized, while others were surprisingly overlooked.

However, the Headies faces unique challenges, notably its recurring scheduling delays and execution issues. In this article, we examine some of the most striking omissions from the 17th Headies nomination list.

(Note: This analysis assumes that all omitted works were submitted for consideration.)

• Best Recording of the Year

Nominated:

– TEMS—“Burning”
– SEYI VIBEZ—’Different Pattern’
– BURNA BOY—’Higher‘
– AYRA STARR & GIVEON—’Last Heartbreak Song’
– SARZ feat. LOJAY – ‘Billions‘

Notable Snubs:
– Asake—“Lonely At The Top”
– OdumoduBlvck—”Blood On The Dance Floor”

Asake’s ‘Lonely At The Top‘ was arguably the defining track from his sophomore album ‘Work of Art,’ boasting a refined composition that stood out during the review period. OdumoduBlvck’s ‘Blood On The Dance Floor’ was another masterfully crafted record, making its omission surprising.

• Producer of the Year

Nominated:

– SARZ—’ Happiness‘
– LONDON—’Ozeba’
– MAGICSTICKS—’Basquiat‘
– REMA/PRODUCER X/CUBEATZ/DEATZ/KLIMPERBOY—’Hehehe‘
– DIBS—’Different Pattern‘

Notable Snubs:

– P.Priime
– Jay Synths
– Blaise Beatz
– KZITO

P.Priime had an exceptional year, contributing significantly to Rema’s ‘HEIS‘ album. Jay Synths, who crafted Flavour’s ‘Big Baller‘ (nominated for Song of the Year), and Kizz Daniel’s ‘Ojapiano,’ also deserved consideration. Blaise Beatz’s work on ‘Twe Twe‘ and KZITO’s contributions to Victony’s ‘Pier 46′ further highlight the gap in the nominations.

• Best Collaboration

Nominated:

– Tiwa Savage feat. Asa—’Emotions‘
– OdumoduBlvck, Bloody Civilian & Wale—’Blood On The Dance Floor’
– Shallipopi feat. OdumoduBlvck—’Cast‘
– Chike & Mohbad—’Egwu‘
– Qing Madi & BNXN—’Ole‘
– Kizz Daniel & Davido – ‘Twe Twe Remix‘
– Wizkid feat. Zlatan—’IDK‘

Notable Snubs:

– BNXN & Ruger – “Poe”

The collaborative track ‘Poe‘ by BNXN and Ruger was a standout hit, making its absence from this category quite unexpected.

• Afrobeats Single of the Year

Nominated:

– Young Jonn feat. Kizz Daniel & Seyi Vibez—’Big Big Things‘
– Kizz Daniel—’Twe Twe Remix’
– Chike feat. Mohbad—’Egwu‘
– Asake—’Remember‘
– Hyce, Boypee & Brown Joel feat. Davido—’Ogechi Remix‘
– Flavour—’Big Baller’

Notable Snub:

– Kcee—”Ojapiano”

As one of the biggest Afrobeats hits of the eligibility period, Kcee’s ‘Ojapiano‘ had a significant cultural and commercial impact. Its omission is arguably one of the most glaring oversights.

• Lyricist on the Roll

Nominated:

– A-Q—’Mogadishu”
– M.I Abaga—’Chocolate City Cypher‘
– Blaqbonez—’Chocolate City Cypher’
– Ladipoe—’Hallelujah‘
– Alpha Ojini—’Efeleme‘

Notable Snub:

– OdumoduBlvck

With tracks like ‘MC Oluomo’ and ‘Saint Obi,’ OdumoduBlvck demonstrated superior lyricism, making his exclusion from this category quite puzzling.

• Rookie of the Year

Nominated:

– Llona
– Kaestyle
– Taves
– ZerryDL

Notable Snubs:

– TML Vibez
– Muyeez

Both artists made an impact in the Nigerian mainstream with their breakout projects, and many expected at least one to secure a nomination.

• Best Street-Hop Artist

Nominated:

– Seyi Vibez—’Different Patterns’
– Ayo Maff feat. Fireboy DML – ‘Dealer’
– Shallipopi feat. OdumoduBlvck—’Cast‘
– Zhus Jdo—’Johnbull‘
– Mohbad—’Ask About Me’

Notable Snub:

– Kashcoming

With ‘How Low’ and his DJ YK-assisted ‘Oblee,’ Kashcoming left a mark on the street-hop scene, making his exclusion surprising.

• Song of the Year

Nominated:

– Kizz Daniel—’Showa‘
– Ayra Starr—’Commas‘
– Chike & Mohbad—’Egwu‘
– Asake—’Lonely At The Top’
– Rema—’Ozeba‘
– Flavour—’Big Baller’

Notable Snub:

– Kcee—”Ojapiano”

Given its immense popularity, ‘Ojapiano’s‘ absence is particularly notable. The track revitalized Kcee’s career and introduced the Igbo flute (Oja) into the Amapiano wave.

• Artiste of the Year

Nominated:

– Davido
– Ayra Starr
– Asake
– Rema
– Tems
– Burna Boy

Notable Snubs:

– Seyi Vibez
– Kizz Daniel

Seyi Vibez and Kizz Daniel had stellar years, with their projects delivering some of the biggest Nigerian hits. Their exclusion raises questions about the selection criteria.

• Final Thoughts

The Headies, while an essential platform for recognizing musical excellence, continues to grapple with issues of execution and timing. The lack of a fixed calendar year creates eligibility confusion, resulting in inconsistencies.

For instance, Omah Lay’s ‘Moving‘ was nominated despite falling outside the window, and Phyno’s ‘Full Time Job’ was initially listed, then removed after backlash.

Additionally, while new categories were introduced, others—such as Alternative/Traditional Song & Album—were axed without explanation, sidelining a significant portion of Nigerian talent.

For the Headies to maintain credibility and grow in prestige, the organizers must refine their processes, adhere to a structured timeline, and ensure transparency in their selections.

Only then can it truly serve as a definitive reflection of Nigeria’s evolving music landscape.

Dapper Music & Entertainment, a prominent Nigerian record label, has addressed recent allegations following the contentious departures of its artists Shallipopi and Muyeez.

The controversy began when Shallipopi publicly announced his exit from the label, accusing Dapper Music of distrust, financial mismanagement, and abuse of artist rights.

In response, the label released a detailed statement on Instagram, denying the claims and affirming its dedication to transparency, fairness, and integrity.

According to the statement, Dapper Music allowed Shallipopi to renegotiate his contract following the success of his debut album.

On October 28, 2024, new terms were agreed upon, granting the artist the flexibility to pursue other opportunities while maintaining a mutually beneficial partnership with the label.

The label expressed surprise at Shallipopi’s accusations, noting that it had provided clear financial records and was cooperating fully with independent auditors engaged by the artist.

The press release also addressed allegations that Muyeez had signed a contract as a minor. The label clarified that the agreement was signed by Muyeez’s legal guardian and witnessed appropriately, in full compliance with legal requirements.

In the statement, Dapper Music emphasized its core values: “At Dapper Music and Entertainment, we always embrace growth as a vital part of success for individuals, talents, and partners. The music industry thrives on constant evolution, and we believe adapting to growth is essential for all. Amid these transitions, our dedication to the principles that have shaped us since day one remains steadfast.”

The label further highlighted its decade-long commitment to empowering artists, fostering collaborations, and providing platforms for talents to grow: “For over a decade, Dapper group has been committed to empowering artists, fostering collaboration, and championing talents from all walks of life, giving them platforms to grow. These values continue to inspire us as we nurture fresh talent, support our artists, and strengthen our partnerships.”

As the situation unfolds, fans and industry insiders alike are closely monitoring the developments surrounding Shallipopi, Muyeez, and Dapper Music’s handling of the allegations.

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Moshood Abdulmuiz, popularly known as Muyeez, has officially parted ways with Dapper Music & Entertainment Limited.

The announcement comes just hours after fellow artist Shallipopi disclosed his exit from the label, which has faced recent upheavals with the departure of several prominent talents.

Muyeez made his decision public through a heartfelt statement shared on his Instagram page, titled “MY TRUTH: MUYEEZ SPEAKS OUT AGAINST EXPLOITATION.” In his statement, he outlined the struggles he endured during his time with the label and revealed that his signing occurred while he was still a minor.

Reflecting on his journey, Muyeez accused the label of neglecting his welfare and withholding his rightful earnings. “My name is Moshood Abdulmuiz p/k/a Muyeez p/k/a Young Badoo, and today I am breaking my silence to share the painful truth about my journey as an artist under Dapper Music & Entertainment Limited,” he began.

The young artist further revealed that despite releasing three chart-topping Extended Plays (EPs) in a single month, he has yet to receive any royalty payments for his work. “What should have been a dream come true turned into a nightmare of exploitation, neglect, and betrayal,” he lamented.

Muyeez also recounted his struggles with inadequate support from the label, stating, “I was just a minor when I signed this contract, placing my trust in a company that promised to guide and support me. Instead, I was burdened with impossible demands.”

Describing the dire conditions he faced, the singer recalled moments of hardship. “I sometimes went to bed in a hugger, with the label not caring about my well-being,” he shared, hinting at the emotional toll the experience had on him.

The artist, who continues to make waves in the Afrobeats scene, expressed his disappointment in how his efforts were undervalued. “My passion and hard work were met with indifference, leaving me to wonder if my voice truly mattered,” he stated.

The ongoing exodus from Dapper Music raises questions about the label’s management, which is owned by the partner of celebrity chef Hilda Baci. As Muyeez hinted at potential legal action, the unfolding drama highlights the challenges faced by young artists in the industry.
