Additionally, the album features notable collaborations with Olamide, Ladipoe, and Qing Madi, among others. Also, Chike emphasized that his approach to collaborations prioritizes the music over numbers. He stated, "With everything I do, I just try to remind myself that the music comes first.

Reflecting on Mohbad's passing, Chike shared that it taught him the importance of making the most of his time.

Chike & Ladipoe - Unto You Lyrics

Me I rather get
Me I rather get

Wetin you want
Tell me what you want
I know that you really wanna see me go mad
But the only thing you go get na silence (Shhh)
Me I rather get eye
Say what you want
You want me to make a decision in a rush
When you give me hate
I go dey show you love
Me I no fit try to defeat my conscience

Me I rather get eye
Wey no fit see
Me rather get ear
Wey no fit hear
Me I rather get tongue
Wey no fit taste (Me I rather get)
Than to get heart

Unto you, yeah, unto you
To show me love
Unto you, yeah unto you
To show me love
Unto you, yeah unto you
To show me love

I see the signs
Industry forced me to read between the lines
Second guess attention
You know the nature of human kind
Cause even admiration can easily turn to evil eye
Even now I am guilty in recent times
Till I began to wrap around
The idea of stepping from energy that is gathered round
People dey your story
No mean say them dey your chapter now
My reality is living proof that passion counts
Turn another cheek
You know the music is slapping now
Oh! They try to catch me
They wonder how I am keeping my heart
I’m thinking family
I should tell them what I am up to now
Before they ask me
I have been cooking for the record
I am feeling like Hilda Baci

Me I rather get eye
Wey no fit see
Me rather get ear
Wey no fit hear
Me I rather get tongue
Wey no fit taste (Me I rather get)
Than to get heart
Wey no fit love
Me I rather get eye
Wey no fit see
Me rather get ear
Wey no fit hear
Me I rather get tongue
Wey no fit taste (Me I rather get)
Than to get heart
Wey no fit love
Than to get heart wey no fit love

Unto you, yeah unto you
To show me love
Unto you, yeah unto you
To show me love
Unto you, yeah unto you
To show me love

The post Unto You Lyrics by Chike Feat. Ladipoe appeared first on NotjustOk.

While in an interview, the Mavin Records artist revealed how industry insiders initially doubted his potential for success in Nigeria due to his unique musical style.

Also, Ladipoe recalled how anonymous figures in the music industry attempted to discourage him. He added that they advises him to relocate if he wanted to pursue a career in music.

"When I first started making music, I was told that because of my style, no one would ever listen to my songs here in Nigeria and that I should try elsewhere in the world," he said.

Despite the skepticism, Ladipoe chose to stay and follow his passion, a decision that has paid off significantly. Additionally, he noted that all his songs have surpassed his expectations, proving his critics wrong. "All my songs have exceeded my expectations," he said with pride.

However, Ladipoe admitted that he is not entirely satisfied with his achievements, citing the elusive nature of satisfaction in creative pursuits. "It is human nature for satisfaction to be elusive. I feel this applies twice as much to creative people, such as artistes like myself. I am grateful but not satisfied," he said.

Also, the singer shared a memorable and humbling experience from his early career, where he was met with a lukewarm response from the crowd and a mistake by his band.

In Ladipoe's words:

"I remember once, early in my career, I came on stage with so much energy and shouted into the microphone, 'Who is ready for some more hip-hop'?.

"Meanwhile, that was a time when hip-hop music was facing serious fluctuation in its appeal. The overwhelming response from the crowd was, 'no'. I remember being so deflated.

"To make matters worse, my band started off by playing the wrong song first, which further demoralized me. It was terrible. But, I look back now and laugh. I am grateful for growth," he added.

God made you so I could trip on something (Trip)
What made you wanna slip on something
I know what's underneath at least undo the buttons
But first
Commot you eye glass make I see your eyes
You see I came into your life when I was losing mine
There's no formula for healing that doney come with time, yeah
And you think that I would notice given into this fears
What you say when you whisper into these ears
Keep the faith oh we need to take a leap here
I'm being sincere
You're on my mind
What's on my mind is

Refrain: Simi & Ladipoe
Day oh
How may months and days oh
Until we finally let go
I'll do it if you say so
I say so

Chorus: Ladipoe & Simi
I like you but I need time
I like you but I need space
So why is it every night
I need you back in my place
Now that I know you (Know you)
All the places I can hold you (All over your body)
But it don't feel like we're suppose to (Baby we can slow it down)
And you think that I would know this by now
I give you green light
Pull me closer baby skin tight
But it never really seem right
And you think that I would know this by now
(Louddaa)

Outro: Simi
By now, by now, by now
If you show me that you know me well
I can show you that I know you too
Baby hold me
Just tonight don't you leave me lonely

And we dey really only happy when you face north
And your booty facing south girl you like it when I choke ya

Burgundy interior matching with my tie
Love at first sight not only in the eyes
'Cause when our fingers touched, I felt electrified

My dear, till I realised you would never fight fair
You be making triggers out of my fears
Going in the left and coming out in the right ear
But the problem I swear, is what comes after
Kiss your neck everywhere don scatter
Slow it down, make it drip faster
Takes one word to close this chapter, mmm

This is the part where you tell me how
It's my fault I didn't hold you down
I know love ain't cheap
But still shouldn't cost all of me

'Cause if I follow you, follow you
If I follow you then die I go die o
Die I go die oo yeah yeah

The controversy began when Ladipoe responded to statements from Wizkid, which some perceived as disrespectful. The rapper had previously stated that the Grammy winning artist had never musically inspired him.

In an interview on Cool FM on Thursday, May 30, 2024, Ladipoe addressed the narrative from fans and Wizkid FC, asserting that his comments were misunderstood.

He explained that his tweet, was intended as a joke aimed at his audience, not as an insult to Wizkid.

“I wasn’t shading Wizkid with what I said. Twitter is a funny place for me, my tweet was more like a joke and it was aimed at the audience”
