After BIA said she didn’t know what he looked like, Burna Boy seemingly took to Twitter to share his own thoughts.  The rising MC—who just dropped her “Whole Lotta Money” remix alongside Nicki Minaj—appeared on an Instagram Live with Nicki to promote the new track this past week. And when asked about Nigerian acts Davido, Burna Boy, and […]

In August 2019, a 23-year-old artist by the name of Stanley Omah Didia moved to Lagos from Port Harcourt after signing a record deal off the strength of two singles that had been creating a buzz in the underground circuits for more than 18 months. Less than two years later, Stanley, now popularly-known as Omah […]

UK artist Angel is back with the official video for his “Blessings” remix, featuring French Montana and Davido. Directed by Daps, the video arrives about eight months after the original track and visual premiered on Complex. While the first video was a salute to the R&B singer’s hometown, the remix version is way flashier and much more produced. We see the […]

The King of Afrobeats tapped a number of artists to guest on the project, including Summer Walker, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Gunna, Popcaan, and more. A Good Time follows Davido’s 2016 EP Son […]

It would have been completely understandable if Davido wasn’t able to turn up to the interview. But when he arrives he’s tired, but full of joy: his wife gave birth to his third child just this weekend gone and he’d arrived in Kensington after being at the hospital. He considers himself blessed—it was the first […]
