Nigerian highlife musician, Flavour, has responded to a tongue-in-cheek warning from a social media user to hide Chidimma Adetshina, the first runner-up at the 2024 Miss Universe pageant, from him.

With Obodo, Larry Gaaga continues his legacy of initiating amazing collaborations, this time uniting Phyno, Flavour, and Theresa Onuorah under the production mastery of Masterkraft. Known for his exceptional ear for talent and keen understanding of the Nigerian music landscape, Larry Gaaga has once again curated a powerful collaboration that resonates with deep-rooted cultural significance.

Produced by Masterkraft, Obodo beautifully merges modern Afrobeats with the soul and rhythm of traditional Igbo music, creating a nostalgic yet contemporary sound. Masterkraft's production is layered with organic instruments and rhythmic drum patterns reminiscent of South Eastern sounds, enhancing the authenticity of the track. Theresa Onuorah’s inclusion brings an extra level of cultural depth, as her iconic, folk-inspired voice evokes a sense of community and pride in Nigerian heritage.

Phyno and Flavour bring their signature styles to the song, blending seamlessly with Theresa Onuorah’s traditional vocals. Phyno’s rap verses, delivered in Igbo, add a modern touch while maintaining cultural relevance. His flow is compelling and pairs well with Flavour’s smooth, melodic voice, which captures the essence of Igbo highlife music. Flavour’s verse in Obodo is both soulful and celebratory, a tribute to the beauty and spirit of Nigerian communities. Together, Phyno and Flavour honour their roots, while Larry Gaaga’s vision pulls it all together in a harmonious way.

Theresa Onuorah, often called the “Queen of Egedege,” brings authenticity to Obodo, grounding it in tradition. Her influence and unique sound elevate the track from a simple Afrobeats song to a rich tapestry of culture and art. Her presence is a nod to Nigeria’s past, an anchor that connects younger listeners to their heritage while appealing to older fans familiar with her work.

Obodo’s synergy between artists of different generations highlights Larry Gaaga’s talent for building cross-generational collaborations. This song is a celebration of Nigerian heritage that transcends borders, resonating with audiences both locally and in the diaspora. Larry Gaaga’s reputation as a master collaborator is well-deserved, and with Obodo, he adds another potential classic to his lineup of hit collaborations, further solidifying his role in shaping the narrative of African music

A bitter public feud has erupted between two prominent Nigerian musicians, KCee and Flavour, following the release of KCee's latest song, which bears striking similarities to Flavour's hit track Doings.

The controversy began when Flavour took to his X page, posting a cryptic message that seemed to accuse KCee of copying his style. "Copy copy akaria," Flavour wrote, without directly mentioning KCee's name.

However, KCee swiftly interpreted the comment as a personal attack and unleashed a scathing response on his X page. In a series of passionate posts igniting a feud, KCee asserted that Igbo music is not Flavour's exclusive domain and warned him to "pick his battles carefully."

Additionally, KCee emphasized that he has been a major player in the music industry long before Flavour's rise to fame and refused to apologize for celebrating their shared cultural heritage.

"I've been in this game before you," KCee declared. "You don't own this genre of music. My music celebrates our heritage, and I won't apologize. Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine."

Also, KCee cautioned Flavour against attempting to "gatekeep" Igbo culture, stressing that it belongs to all and not just one individual.

Meanwhile, the heated exchange has sparked intense debate among music fans. Many are weighing in on social media to share their opinions on the matter.

As at the time of this report, Flavour is yet to respond to KCee's comments.

Lastly, as the feud continues to unfold, fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely to see how these two musical heavyweights resolve their differences.

The third quarter of 2024 was an eventful period for the Nigerian music industry, marked by remarkable achievements, controversies, and moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry.

From sold-out concerts to chart-topping albums, and from industry critiques to groundbreaking collaborations, here are the top 10 moments that shaped the Nigerian music landscape.

1. Asake sells out O2 Arena for the second time

Firstly, Asake, the YBNL star, delivered an electrifying performance at the O2 Arena on Saturday, September 21, 2024, as part of his Lungu Boy tour. This marked the second time in his three-year career that the Nigerian Afrobeats singer sold out the iconic London venue, following his first O2 show in August 2023. Performing to over 20,000 fans, Asake turned the night into an unforgettable experience with new stage designs and an expanded setlist.

Also, tracks from his newly released album, Lungu Boy, mixed with older hits like Remember, Fuji Vibe, and MMS, had the audience singing along passionately. What made the event even more special was the lineup of guest appearances. This includes Afrobeats giants Wizkid, Stormzy, and others, all of whom graced the stage to perform alongside Asake.

2. Flavour sells out Wembley Arena

Secondly, Nigerian highlife sensation Flavour has officially joined the ranks of Nigerian artists who have sold out the Wembley Arena in London. The 12,500-capacity venue hosted Flavour’s African Royalty Experience tour on August 23, 2024, a night filled with music, dance, and cultural celebration. Following the release of his album African Royalty, Flavour has toured across Europe, stopping in cities like Paris, Lisbon, and London.

His setlist featured fan-favourite tracks like Ada Ada, Nwa Baby, and Oyi, along with more recent hits like Levels. Also, the night was filled with traditional Igbo and Afrobeat rhythms, highlighting Flavour’s signature mix of highlife and modern Afrobeat.

3. Fireboy DML’s album brings Lagbaja back from retirement

Thirdly, Fireboy DML’s much-anticipated fourth studio album, Adedamola, released on August 29, 2024, has become a subject of intense discussion. This is primarily because of the participation of the iconic Nigerian Afrobeat legend, Lagbaja. The collaboration marked Lagbaja’s return from retirement after years of absence. Also, its result is a soulful blend of saxophones, violins, and traditional drums that evokes nostalgia.

In particular, the song Back n Forth stands out for its African rhythms and Fireboy DML’s powerful, emotional lyrics. Lagbaja’s signature bata drums and omele added an unmistakable African essence. Also, his saxophone entrance in the track stirred deep feelings of pride among listeners. Fans were eager to hear Lagbaja, who last performed at the AMVCA in 2022, back in action, delivering verses reminiscent of his classic hits like Nothing for You.

Subsequently, in an Apple Music interview, Fireboy DML revealed that even in the studio session, Lagbaja maintained his mysterious persona by never removing his mask, much to Fireboy’s amazement. The collaboration is considered one of Fireboy’s most successful endeavours, showcasing his ability to mix nostalgia with contemporary sounds.

4. Rema’s homecoming concert in Benin City

Meanwhile, Afrobeats sensation Rema returned to his hometown of Benin City for a spectacular homecoming concert at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on August 30, 2024. This was Rema’s first show on Nigerian soil, and he did not disappoint. The concert drew thousands of fans and became a landmark event for the city. This is why it made it to the list of top 10 moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in 2024.

Rema’s set was marked by electrifying performances of his hit songs, including Dumebi, Calm Down, and Charm. Special guests such as Mavin Record boss Don Jazzy, as well as Crayon and Shallipopi, made surprise appearances. This added to the excitement of the night.

One heartwarming moment came when Rema gifted two fans N2 million for their creative portraits of him. However, a brief commotion occurred when a fan jumped on stage during his performance of Ozeba. This led Rema to kick the fan off the stage. This action created a dramatic twist to the night but didn’t dampen the overall atmosphere.

5. Wizkid hints at release date for new album 'Morayo'

Moreso, superstar Wizkid may finally be ready to drop his highly anticipated sixth studio album, titled Morayo. This is after teasing fans for months. Set to be released as a tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2023, the album has been in the making for nearly two years. The singer, who has already released hits like More Love, Less Ego, is building expectations for his fanbase once again.

On September 2, 2024, Wizkid posted cryptic hints on his social media. He suggested the album, or at least a single, might drop on October 1, 2024—Nigeria’s Independence Day. The message, which read, “On the day of independence, the truth shall set us free RRR,” has fueled speculation.

6. Buju Banton’s critique of Afrobeats sparks response from Tems

Additionally, Jamaican reggae icon Buju Banton stirred up controversy during an interview on the Drink Champs podcast, where he criticized the global dominance of Afrobeats. According to Buju, Afrobeats lacks depth and borrows heavily from Jamaican reggae and dancehall without acknowledging its roots. His statements provoked a strong reaction from both the African and Caribbean music communities.

However, Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems responded thoughtfully during an interview on the Shopping The Sneakers podcast. She explained that Afrobeats, especially in Nigeria, is primarily about creating a “vibe” and providing an escape for its listeners. This contrasts with the socio-political messaging often found in reggae and dancehall. Tems’ nuanced answer sparked a wider conversation about the cultural significance and evolution of both genres.

7. Rema’s experimentation with 'HEIS' album

Furthermore, Nigerian superstar Rema shocked the world with his latest album HEIS. This took bold experimental turns in terms of sound and style. In an interview with Complex Music, Rema shared that he wanted to push boundaries and break away from his usual Afrofusion style. This is despite his label’s initial reluctance.

The album blends various genres, incorporating elements of rock, R&B, and traditional African sounds. By this, drawing comparisons to Kanye West’s genre-bending Yeezus album. Rema embraced these comparisons, stating that he intended to introduce new textures to Afrobeats without losing his African roots. His willingness to take risks has paid off. HEIS is now being hailed as a forward-thinking project that signals the future of Afrobeats.

8. Rema, Omah Lay, Shallipopi featured on EA FC25 game soundtrack

EA FC25

Also, as part of moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in 2024, Nigerian Afrobeats stars Rema, Omah Lay, and Shallipopi were featured on the official soundtrack for EA FC25. This is the rebranded version of EA Sports’ popular FIFA game series. Released on September 27, 2024, the soundtrack includes 114 songs from global artists. So, this is with Rema, Omah Lay, and Shallipopi representing Nigerian Afrobeats.

This recognition shows the increasing influence of Afrobeats in mainstream global culture, especially in sports and gaming. Past Nigerian artists like Davido, Olamide, and BNXN have also been featured on FIFA soundtracks. However, this year’s inclusion signals that Afrobeats is becoming a staple of the franchise.

9. Burna Boy’s iconic collaboration with Hugo Boss

Consequently, Burna Boy continues his global rise, not just as an artist but as a cultural icon. The Grammy-winning Afrobeats star was featured in Hugo Boss latest campaign. This is alongside global heavyweights such as Naomi Campbell and David Beckham. Burna Boy’s presence in the campaign emphasizes his crossover appeal. This solidifies his role as a global brand ambassador for African music and culture.

10. Psquare's final dissolution

Lastly, one of the moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in the third quarter of 2024 is the P-Square dissolution. After years of on-and-off performances and public feuds, Paul Okoye officially confirmed the final dissolution of P-Square, one of Nigeria’s most iconic music duos. In a candid Instagram Live session, Paul revealed his decision to focus on his solo career. He cited frustrations with the group's dynamics as his reason. P-Square, once known for chart-topping hits and electrifying performances, now belongs to the history books as one of Africa’s most beloved and influential acts. The final split marks the end of an era. Also, it opens new chapters for both Paul and Peter Okoye in their individual pursuits.

These 10 moments have shaped the Nigerian music industry. It shows its resilience, creativity, and global appeal. As the year unfolds, fans can expect more exciting developments from the country's vibrant music scene.
