Phyno Warns Fans To Stop Comparing Him With Colleague, Olamide.

Indigenous rap star Chibuzor Nelson Azubike, better known as Phyno, has made it clear that he no longer wants to be compared to his longtime friend and collaborator, Olamide. Over the years, fans have continuously drawn comparisons between the two, both of whom are known for their contributions to indigenous rap in Nigeria. While Olamide raps predominantly in Yoruba, Phyno has built his career rapping primarily in Igbo.Phyno

Phyno’s frustration boiled over when a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with the handle @TheDamiForeign, reignited the debate. The user posed the question: “When it comes to rap, who’s the GOAT? Phyno versus Olamide.”

Responding to the post, Phyno did not mince words. He expressed his displeasure with the constant comparisons, saying,

“Yo!!! Tf is wrong with u guys for God sake.. stop putting me up against my brother or anybody else for that matter. Do your banter with someone else.. na ala adi agba unu.. wtf.”

This response reflects Phyno’s strong stance on being compared with Olamide, whom he considers a brother, not a rival. Both rappers have consistently shown mutual respect and have collaborated on several hit songs, including “Ghost Mode” and “Fada Fada,” which solidified their chemistry in the industry. These collaborations highlight that their relationship goes beyond competition—it’s built on friendship, respect, and mutual success.

For Phyno, it seems that these comparisons undermine the collaborative spirit he shares with Olamide. The rapper appears tired of narratives that pit artists against each other, especially when their careers and musical styles, although similar in some ways, have evolved in unique directions. Phyno’s message to fans is simple: enjoy the music and appreciate the art without fueling rivalry.

This isn’t the first time fans have compared artists in the Nigerian music scene. These debates often stem from the passion people have for their favorite musicians. However, Phyno’s reaction signals a shift in how artists want to be viewed—less about competition and more about the collective growth of the genre.

In a music industry that thrives on diversity and collaboration, comparing artists like Phyno and Olamide, who have contributed significantly to indigenous rap, seems counterproductive. Both artists have paved their own paths, bringing distinct cultural expressions to the fore, and it’s clear Phyno wants that individuality respected.

Ultimately, the takeaway is that artists can coexist and thrive without being forced into unnecessary competition. Instead of debates on who is better, the focus should be on celebrating the cultural impact and evolution of their music.

Nigerian rapper and songwriter Phyno has once again cemented his position as one of Africa’s premier musical talents with the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Full Time Job. Known for his seamless blend of traditional Igbo sounds with contemporary rap, Phyno takes his artistry to new heights with this 15-track project, fusing his deep cultural roots with modern global music influences.

 

A Sonic Journey Across Borders

Full Time Job opens with “It’s Nothing,” a commanding introduction that sets the tone for the album’s exploration of identity, culture, and personal introspection. Throughout the album, Phyno oscillates between confident lyricism and reflective storytelling, all while staying true to his indigenous roots. The project showcases Phyno’s remarkable ability to switch effortlessly between rapping in English and his native Igbo dialect, reaffirming his unique place in the world of African music.

 

The album is rich with collaborations, featuring some of the most exciting names in the music industry. From the introspective “Back Outside” featuring Cheque to the high-energy anthem “Eyes On Them” with UK rapper Chip, Phyno bridges cultural gaps effortlessly.

What makes Full Time Job particularly significant is its ability to transcend genre. Phyno, whose real name is Chibuzo Nelson Azubike, has always been a boundary-pusher. His blend of rap, singing, and indigenous sounds allows him to navigate multiple genres, creating a project that feels universal in its appeal but distinctly rooted in African culture.

 

Phyno’s Journey to the Top

Phyno’s evolution as an artist began more than a decade ago when he emerged on the Nigerian music scene. Influenced by rap legends like 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., as well as indigenous icons like Mr. RAW, Phyno developed a style that combined raw rap with the rhythms and melodies of Igbo Highlife. His breakthrough came in 2012 with the smash hit “Ghost Mode” featuring Olamide, a song that not only cemented his status but also paved the way for the mainstream acceptance of indigenous rap in Nigeria.

Over the years, albums like No Guts, No Glory and The Playmaker have proven Phyno’s versatility. With hit singles like “Fada Fada” and collaborations with artists such as Flavour, M.I. Abaga, and Naeto C, Phyno has consistently delivered chart-topping records that resonate with both local and international audiences.

 

Full Time Job: A Legacy in the Making

Each track is a testament to his growth as an artist and his ability to remain relevant in an ever-changing music landscape.

Phyno’s ability to merge genres, cultures, and languages into a cohesive and powerful musical narrative makes Full Time Job one of his most dynamic and compelling works to date. This album not only reaffirms Phyno’s position as a leading figure in African music but also solidifies his influence on the global stage.

For fans and new listeners alike, Full Time Job offers a deep, culturally rich experience that showcases the full spectrum of Phyno’s talents. It’s an album that promises to stand the test of time, both in Nigeria and far beyond.

Portable Claims Wizkid and Davido Use Controversy to Trend

Nigerian street-hop sensation, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again stirred the pot with his bold claims about Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Davido. According to Portable, the ongoing beef between the two superstars is nothing more than a promotional stunt designed to keep them relevant in the music industry.

 

“Their Music Isn’t Marketable Anymore”

In a recent post on his Instagram story, Portable suggested that Wizkid and Davido’s music no longer dominates the charts as it once did, which has led them to resort to online feuds as a way to stay in the spotlight. “Una songs no dey market again, na fight una dey use do promotion,” Portable declared, implying that controversy has replaced genuine hit songs for the two artists.

The “Zazu” crooner further advised them to focus on their music rather than tearing each other down for promotion. “Don’t use your brother to shine, shine yourself,” he wrote, calling for an end to the ongoing social media warfare.

 

“I Stand Alone”

Portable made it clear that he does not align himself with either Wizkid or Davido in their public spat. Distancing himself from the drama, he emphasized his independence in the music industry. “Me, I no dey for Davido. Me, I no dey for Wizkid. I dey for myself,” he stated, reaffirming his commitment to his own brand and music.

He also boldly claimed that he has more hit songs than both Wizkid and Davido, suggesting that his relevance is built on authentic success rather than manufactured controversies. “Portable is bigger than them. Who is big is big,” he added confidently.

 

Wizkid and Davido’s Recent Feud

Portable’s comments come amid an escalating online feud between Wizkid and Davido. The beef, which has reignited on social media, saw Wizkid take jabs at Davido earlier this week, calling him “wack” and “talentless.” Despite Davido’s silence and refusal to engage in the war of words, Wizkid has continued his verbal attacks, even involving Davido’s family in his latest posts.

While fans and observers have speculated whether the feud is genuine or simply a promotional tactic, Portable’s statements suggest that the rivalry may indeed be a deliberate strategy to maintain relevance. His remarks have sparked further debate about the role of controversies in promoting music careers, particularly in an industry as competitive as Afrobeats.

 

The Bigger Picture: Controversy in the Music Industry

Controversies have long been a tool for artists to stay in the spotlight, and the Nigerian music scene is no exception. However, Portable’s critique highlights the growing concern among some artists and fans that these strategies could overshadow the music itself. With both Wizkid and Davido already established as global icons, their ongoing feud has raised questions about whether they still need drama to stay relevant, or if their musical legacies should speak for themselves.

 

Portable’s Place in the Industry

Portable’s rise to fame has been fueled by both his music and his larger-than-life personality. Known for his blunt opinions and wild antics, the singer has managed to carve out his own space in the industry, unapologetically declaring himself “bigger” than many of his peers. Whether his latest comments about Wizkid and Davido are another stunt or genuine concern for the industry remains to be seen, but one thing is certain; Portable is the most controversial.

Wizkid Explains Why He Davido Got The Puma Deal Instead of Him

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has made headlines once again, this time revealing why he wasn’t selected for a partnership with global fashion giant, Puma. Despite the rumors and online buzz surrounding the ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and fellow Afrobeat icon Davido, Wizkid set the record straight in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), addressing Puma’s decision to work with Davido.

The Outburst on Social Media

On Wednesday, Wizkid found himself in the middle of a heated conversation when an X user, Nelson Epega, accused him of being frustrated and envious of Davido’s recent Puma deal. The post suggested that Wizkid was unhappy with his rival’s success, fueling the already existing tension between the two heavyweights of Nigerian music.

However, Wizkid’s response was swift and bold. He shut down the rumors by stating that he had originally been in talks with Puma, but turned down the deal due to financial disagreements. According to Wizkid, the brand couldn’t meet his demands, leading them to settle for Davido instead.

 

Wizkid’s Response: “I’m Way Bigger Than That”

Wizkid’s viral response on X left fans buzzing, as he didn’t hold back. “You idiot! I turned down Puma because they could no longer afford to pay me because I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste you just mentioned! Not jealous! Love them all. With your dirty ass shirt! Idiot!” the singer wrote.

He further elaborated that while Puma is a “big brand,” their budget for Africa simply wasn’t sufficient to meet his requirements. “No! Puma is a big brand! But the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client though!” Wizkid added, making it clear that the brand’s financial limitations, not jealousy or rivalry, were behind his decision to decline the deal.

 

A Battle of Supremacy?

For years, fans and observers have often pitted Wizkid and Davido against each other, with their respective fan bases fueling a narrative of rivalry and supremacy. Both artists have achieved incredible success on the global stage, representing Afrobeats in major international collaborations, performances, and endorsements.

Wizkid’s statement, however, seems to suggest that for him, it’s less about rivalry and more about knowing his worth. His rejection of the Puma deal, due to what he saw as an insufficient budget, speaks to his confidence in his brand and stature.

 

The Bigger Picture

This incident highlights not just the competition between these two music giants but also the growing influence and bargaining power African artists are beginning to wield in the global market. With Afrobeats breaking through internationally, artists like Wizkid and Davido are now major players who can command significant sums for their partnerships and endorsements.

While Davido’s collaboration with Puma is a win for him and his fans, Wizkid’s public statement shows that for him, it’s about securing deals that reflect his perceived value and global reach.

The ongoing saga between Wizkid and Davido could just be pure cruise but it continues to captivate fans, but it’s important to note that both stars are pushing Afrobeats to new heights globally. Wizkid’s refusal of the Puma deal doesn’t diminish Davido’s success but instead highlights the different approaches these two superstars take in managing their brands.

In the end, both artists remain crucial to the success of Afrobeats worldwide, each playing their part in representing African culture and music on the international stage.

What’s next for Wizkid? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain; his confidence in his worth and his brand isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Kizz Daniel & Thyself’s We Must: A Song of Resilience

Kizz Daniel teams up with Thyself (which is a rapper version of himself) to deliver a powerful anthem of perseverance and unyielding determination in their new track, “We Must.” With a blend of catchy rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics, this song encourages listeners to push through life’s obstacles and remain focused on success.

The Message Behind “We Must”

At its core, “We Must” is a reminder that success isn’t optional—it’s a necessity. The song’s lyrics reflect the struggles and challenges that individuals face on their path to greatness. Yet, in the midst of adversity, the message remains clear: giving up is not an option. From the streets of Lagos to the broader world, the call to rise above circumstances resonates throughout the song.

Kizz Daniel’s verses speak about the grind and hustle required to survive and thrive, especially in a challenging environment like Lagos. The recurring theme of “Owo loshey koko” (meaning money is the key) emphasizes the role of financial stability in navigating the hustle. Yet, he balances this with a deep-rooted desire to make music for his fans, staying true to his artistic journey.

Thyself’s verse brings an interesting twist, with mentions of material success—”sixteen cars, sixteen jeeps, sixteen girls over age eighteen”—juxtaposed against the spiritual line, “Man dem in Muslim Allahu akbar.” It reflects the complexities of balancing personal achievements with the greater challenges of life.

 

A Breakdown of the Lyrics

“Owo loshey koko rasaki” – This line points to the importance of money (“owo” meaning money in Yoruba) and its significance in achieving one’s goals.

“Lock up my paddy for Kigali” – This could be a personal reference, possibly referring to the artist’s friend being detained or facing trouble abroad, adding a layer of real-world hardship to the song.

“We must” – The repeated chant drives home the song’s message: no matter the situation, achieving success is a must. The energy behind these lines is both motivational and uplifting.

 

Catchy, Yet Impacting

The chorus of the song is undeniably catchy, with its rhythmic repetition of “We must, toba jowo jeka jole.” This makes it easy for fans to sing along, but it’s also meaningful. The “we must” phrase becomes an anthem, inspiring everyone to join in the drive to persevere.

The lines, “Sandalili sho ni ice water, Kin korin mo shy gan ma”, reference the metaphor of water flowing effortlessly, symbolizing the fluidity and persistence needed to succeed.

“We Must” by Kizz Daniel and Thyself isn’t just another Afrobeats track—it’s a powerful reminder to stay resilient. With its blend of rhythmic beats, deeply reflective lyrics, and motivational themes, the song is a perfect anthem for anyone facing challenges but determined to keep going. Whether you’re hustling in Lagos, Kigali, or anywhere else in the world, this track reminds us that success is inevitable if we refuse to give up.

How I Handled the Deaths of Loved Ones – Davido Opens Up

Nigerian superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is no stranger to loss. Over the years, the singer has endured a series of heart-wrenching tragedies, losing loved ones in ways that would test anyone’s strength. Yet, Davido continues to rise, creating hit after hit, spreading joy to millions with his music. In a recent interview with Mystery Fashionist in New York, the Afrobeats icon shed light on how he has managed to cope with these losses and the role his faith has played in his journey.

 

Losses That Shaped Him

Davido’s journey with grief started early. At just 11 years old, he lost his mother, Mrs. Victoria Imade Adeleke, an event that left an indelible mark on his life. But the pain didn’t stop there. In recent years, the singer has faced the devastating loss of his 3-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, as well as close friends and associates, including Tagbo, DJ Olu, Obama DMW, and his personal photographer, Fortune.

For many, such continuous heartbreak would be unbearable. But Davido shared that his faith has been the anchor that has kept him strong through these difficult times.

“I have lost a lot of people. I lost my mum at the age of eleven. I’m just being strong. I did a song called ‘Stand Strong.’ I feel like strength and obviously, my faith has kept me going,” he revealed.

 

The Power of Faith and Music

The singer’s words highlight the dual power of faith and music as his coping mechanisms. His song Stand Strong not only reflects his inner resilience but also serves as a tribute to the many challenges he has faced. Through his music, Davido expresses emotions that are often too heavy to bear alone. The track, like much of his work, has resonated deeply with fans who admire his ability to turn personal pain into a message of hope.

Davido’s faith has also played a crucial role in shaping his outlook. In times of unimaginable loss, his belief in a higher power has kept him grounded and given him the strength to continue living and creating.

 

Addressing Misconceptions

Beyond his handling of grief, Davido also took the opportunity to address a few misconceptions about his personality during the interview. One misconception, he noted, is the perception that he is unapproachable.

“I think sometimes, people think I am not approachable. Another misconception is that people also think I am too accessible,” he shared.

He went on to explain that growing up in a large family meant that he was always surrounded by people, which has shaped how he interacts with others. “I grew up in a big family. I’m used to having people around me. My talent and success are God-given,” he added.

 

Rising Above

Davido’s ability to handle loss with grace, while continuing to give so much of himself to his fans and loved ones, speaks volumes about his resilience. The tragedies he has experienced could have easily broken him, but instead, they have shaped him into a stronger person, both in his personal life and his career.

For fans, Davido’s transparency about his grief and the strength he draws from his faith is not only inspiring but a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope and resilience can prevail.

As he continues to navigate his personal journey, his story serves as a powerful example of finding strength in faith and the healing power of music.

Phyno & ArrDee Made a Banger Anthem with “Time of My Life”

Nigerian rapper Phyno teams up with British rapper ArrDee to deliver a vibrant track, “Time Of My Life,” that encapsulates the spirit of living in the moment and enjoying life’s highs. The song’s infectious energy and lyrical prowess make it a standout release, promising to become a club favorite and a playlist staple.

 

A Lyrical Breakdown

From the get-go, Phyno sets the tone with his signature Igbo flows, blending his native language with English to create a catchy and relatable vibe. He opens the song by asserting his success and confidence, painting a picture of luxury and determination. Lyrics like “Bag of money kam bu abia, watch ya” (I came with a bag of money, watch me) and “Run kilometers ogbu awa, tuo gear” (I’ve run kilometers, shift gears) emphasize his hustle and relentless drive.

The chorus, “Time of my life kam na ebi, o way gi” (I’m living the time of my life, it’s your way), is a celebration of enjoying every moment, encouraging listeners to let loose and embrace the joy of the present.

 

ArrDee’s Unique Touch

ArrDee, known for his witty bars and charismatic delivery, complements Phyno’s vibe perfectly. His verse brings a British flair to the track, adding a cross-cultural dynamic that makes the song even more engaging. He raps, “She ain’t never met a white boy this fly / We bout to take flight take time and seat tight,” showcasing his playful confidence and ability to captivate.

 

A Fusion of Cultures and Styles

The collaboration between Phyno and ArrDee is a testament to the evolving nature of music, where artists from different backgrounds come together to create something unique. Phyno’s deep-rooted Afrobeats and Igbo rap style blend seamlessly with ArrDee’s UK drill and rap influences, resulting in a track that’s both fresh and familiar.

 

Why “Time Of My Life” Stands Out

1. Lyrical Depth and Versatility: Phyno’s lyrical prowess shines as he effortlessly switches between Igbo and English, making the song accessible to a global audience while staying true to his roots.

2. Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Featuring a British artist like ArrDee not only broadens the song’s appeal but also highlights the global reach of African music.

3. Feel-Good Vibes: The song’s theme of living life to the fullest is universal, resonating with anyone who loves to celebrate and have a good time.

4. Catchy Hook: The repeated refrain, “Time of my life kam na ebi,” is bound to get stuck in listeners’ heads, making it perfect for radio play and party scenes.

 

“Time Of My Life” is more than just a song—it’s an anthem of celebration and unity. Phyno and ArrDee have created a track that not only entertains but also bridges cultural gaps, showcasing the power of music to connect people across the globe. Whether you’re on the dance floor or vibing at home, this track is sure to lift your spirits and make you feel like you’re having the time of your life.
