The track brings together two of Afrobeats’ most expressive young voices, delivering a song built on attraction, affection, and emotional connection.

At its core, HELLO explores the excitement of romantic pursuit, admiring a love interest’s beauty and personality while expressing the desire to communicate, stay close, and overcome emotional distance.

TML Vibez leads with his signature street-influenced melodic flow, giving the record a grounded and youthful edge, while Victony adds his familiar atmospheric tone and polished songwriting, elevating the emotional depth of the track. Their contrast creates a natural balance that carries the song from start to finish.

Production-wise, HELLO sits on a calm but engaging Afro-fusion backdrop, built with soft percussion, layered melodies, and warm textures that allow both vocal performances to shine without overpowering the mood.

The collaboration also reflects the continued rise of TML Vibez as one of the promising new voices in the Nigerian music space, while reinforcing Victony’s reputation for consistently delivering emotionally rich and sonically refined records.

With HELLO, both artists combine their strengths to create a replay-ready track that is already generating early buzz among listeners and strengthening anticipation for future collaborations.

His album Fuji is set to get a deluxe treatment in 2026, and from the early details, it’s shaping up to be something special.

Taking to announce the update, the Nigerian star confirmed that the deluxe edition will be released under the title Fuji Xtra, with a scheduled drop date of Friday, May 1, 2026. The news alone was enough to get fans talking, but it didn’t stop there.

What really stirred anticipation was the reveal of featured acts. The extended project will include appearances from heavyweight rapper Olamide, fast-rising talent Tml Vibez, and singer Simi—a lineup that promises a blend of different sounds and energies.

Fuji Xtra builds on the foundation laid by Fuji, a project that earned praise for how it merged traditional Fuji elements with modern influences like Afrobeats, R&B, and pop. It was another moment that showed Adekunle Gold’s strength in balancing cultural roots with contemporary appeal.

With this deluxe edition, listeners can expect more than just additional tracks. There’s a sense that AG Baby is looking to stretch the story further—adding new layers, new sounds, and fresh perspectives through his collaborators.

Each feature brings its own flavour too. Olamide could inject that raw, street-inspired edge, Tml Vibez offers a youthful, new-school bounce, while Simi’s presence hints at something smooth, emotional, and melodic.

As the countdown begins, Fuji Xtra already feels like more than a follow-up—it’s shaping up to be a fuller, richer continuation of a sound that’s still evolving.

Blaqbonez recently gave a sneak peek of what’s to come in 2026, teasing a new track that brings him together with rising act TML Vibez.

The upcoming single, titled Fine Shyt, is set to arrive on Friday, April 17, 2026, and it’s already stirring conversations online.

The pairing might not have been on many bingo cards, but that’s exactly what’s making it exciting—fans are curious to see how both artists blend their distinct styles on one record.

For Blaqbonez, this move feels right on brand. His reputation for clever wordplay, fearless creativity, and pushing sonic boundaries has kept him firmly in the spotlight as one of the most versatile voices in Nigeria’s rap space.

Meanwhile, Tml Vibez continues his steady rise, carving out a lane with his vibrant sound and youthful flair. With each release, he’s proving why many are tipping him as one of the new school acts worth keeping a close eye on.

If the early teaser is anything to go by, Fine Shyt might just be one of those unexpected collaborations that hits harder than anyone imagined.

Each, he says, represents a different layer of his artistry, from global finesse to street-rooted authenticity and raw emotional expression.

In a candid interview on Yanga FM 89.9 Lagos, widely shared on social media, TML Vibez explained how these influences mirror his own evolving sound and identity.

“I get my inspiration from Wizkid, Asake, Olamide, and Seyi Vibez,” he stated, highlighting the quartet’s impact on his melodic, introspective style fused with raw street energy.

The revelation also comes amid lingering fan tensions from TML Vibez’s past association with Seyi Vibez. The rising star initially gained prominence under Vibez Inc., Seyi Vibez’s imprint distributed through Dapper Music, dropping hits like “Goated” and “Where I’m From.” However, a messy split in 2025 fueled accusations of betrayal, with some fans branding TML a “Judas” for aligning more closely with Dapper after the separation.

Rumours about contract disputes, revenue disagreements, and blocked releases stirred heated debates online, fracturing the once-united NSNV (No Seyi No Vibez) fanbase.

Despite the drama, TML Vibez’s acknowledgement of his influences shows a grounded respect for the artists who paved the way, while signalling his intent to carve out a unique path in Afrobeats and street-pop.

The dual drop highlights his artistic range, seamlessly balancing high-energy street anthems with intimate, reflective storytelling.

Amiri captures the pulse of Lagos’ hustle culture with its infectious rhythm and youthful intensity, amplified by the layered harmonies of rising girl group Giddy Girls. The track brims with swagger and ambition, perfectly reflecting the vibrancy of urban life.

In contrast, 4U offers a softer, more introspective side of TML Vibez. The song delves into themes of loyalty, love, and heartfelt sincerity, allowing the artist’s melodic storytelling and emotional depth to shine.

Together, the tracks paint a fuller picture of TML Vibez as a versatile talent grounded in contemporary Lagos culture yet unafraid to explore vulnerability and nuance. The release also underscores Dapper Music & Entertainment’s commitment to nurturing and amplifying the next generation of Afro-street stars.

With Amiri and 4U, TML Vibez cements his presence in the Afrobeats space, proving that street credibility and artistic growth can thrive hand in hand.

Released under Ice Prince’s label, Super Cool Cats, alongside Chocolate City Music, this 8-track project features an impressive lineup of Nigerian artists such as Bella Shmurda, Tml Vibez, Psycho YP, and Ajebo Hustlers.

The EP delivers an energetic blend of Afro-fusion, rap, and street anthems, igniting excitement among fans who have been anticipating new music from the veteran rapper since its announcement earlier this year.

Starters opens with vibrant energy, highlighting Ice Prince’s skilled lyricism alongside Chopstix’s signature production that mixes heavy beats with melodic textures.

The track “Loke,” featuring Bella Shmurda and Tml Vibez, stands out by merging Ice Prince’s sharp rap delivery with Bella Shmurda’s gritty street style, popularized by his 2019 hit Vision 2020, and Tml Vibez’s fresh, dynamic vibe, crafting a lively Afro-fusion experience.

Throughout the EP, themes of perseverance, brotherhood, and celebration are woven in, mirroring Ice Prince’s rise from his roots in Jos to his current stature as a respected figure in Nigerian music.

The diverse guest appearances demonstrate his dedication to bridging generations, spotlighting both veterans and newcomers like Psycho YP, who brings a trap-influenced sound, and Ajebo Hustlers, known for their Pidgin rap anthems.

Since his breakthrough with the 2011 smash Oleku and debut album Everybody Loves Ice Prince, Ice Prince has carved out a remarkable career, collaborating with African rap heavyweights including Sarkodie and AKA and gaining international acclaim, such as the 2013 BET Award.

His decision to pursue independence with Super Cool Cats in 2015, after parting ways with Chocolate City, has given him creative freedom to evolve his sound—a trend that continues with Starters. The EP follows his 2023 release To Be Continued, which offered fans a more introspective look at his personal and artistic journey, and coincides with recent hints about a full-length album featuring fellow rap legends MI Abaga and Jesse Jagz.

Now available across all major streaming services, Starters reaffirms Ice Prince’s ability to stay relevant by blending his foundational rap roots with contemporary Afrobeat influences.

The ongoing collaboration with Chopstix, a partnership that began in 2012 with hits like Aboki, continues to produce electrifying music, making this EP a powerful launchpad for Ice Prince’s 2025 endeavors.

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.
