Nigerian Afrobeats hitmaker Zlatan has stirred major excitement online after dropping a teaser of fresh music from his upcoming album, Symbol of Hope.
On Monday, September 15, 2025, the rapper shared a high-energy snippet on his socials, with fans already speculating that the track will be titled “OYOYO.”
The video, filled with vibrant visuals, fast-paced raps, and infectious dance moves, has been making rounds across platforms.
The buzz first started two days earlier when Zlatan posted a cryptic tweet that simply read: “OYOYO.” He doubled down on Monday with another post quoting a striking lyric: “Even person wey follow shit for church dey see me shout OYOYO.” The line resonated with many listeners, hinting at a message of celebration and victory against all odds.

Taking the excitement further, Zlatan wrote on Instagram: “A DAY CLOSER TO SYMBOL OF HOPE. #SOHTHEALBUM,” directly linking the teaser to his highly anticipated project.
Although details such as the release date and full tracklist remain under wraps, the album’s title, Symbol of Hope, is already loaded with meaning.

Earlier in June 2025, Zlatan launched a mentorship program for young creatives under the same name an initiative that highlighted his desire to empower the next wave of talent.
Away from the studio, Zlatan has also been in the headlines following a fiery exchange with controversial street-hop singer Portable, who tagged him as “up-and-coming.” But instead of engaging further, Zlatan appears to be channeling his focus into music, and the preview of “OYOYO” suggests he’s more than ready to remind fans of his staying power.
With anticipation now at fever pitch, Symbol of Hope is shaping up to be more than just an album; it’s set to be a statement of Zlatan’s resilience, growth, and influence in Afrobeats.
