Carter IV, DoouShii & Senjay — Di Pelo (ft. Moholo): A Groove-Driven Blend of Emotion and Energy
Carter IV, DoouShii, andSenjay link up on Di Pelo, featuring Moholo—a lively Amapiano collaboration that balances heartfelt expression with undeniable groove.
From the outset, the track pulls you in with a rich, rhythmic foundation. It carries that modern Amapiano feel—danceable at its core, but layered with enough melody and emotion to give it depth. There’s a natural flow to the record that keeps it engaging without ever feeling forced.
The production is polished and full-bodied, built on deep log drums, rolling percussion, warm basslines, and textured melodic layers. Carter IV and DoouShii’s chemistry is evident in how smoothly the instrumental moves, while Senjay adds finesse through clean transitions and rhythmic balance. The groove stays consistent throughout, giving the track a steady bounce that’s easy to lock into.
Moholo’s contribution brings the song to life on another level. His vocals add warmth, personality, and emotional weight, helping shape the track’s identity. Rather than overpowering the beat, his delivery blends seamlessly into it, creating a cohesive and immersive sound.
Di Pelo stands out for its balance—it’s energetic without losing feeling, and expressive without sacrificing groove. The result is a track that feels complete, replayable, and deeply in tune with the evolving Amapiano sound.

After the success of his debut album, “Boy Alone“, Omah Lay took a long break before releasing another project. It’s been four years since Omah Lay released his debut album, and now he’s back with his second, “Clarity of Mind,†a 12-track album.

This new album feels like a confession of an artist who has found clarity of mind.
If you have been following Nigerian gospel music for any length of time, you already know that when Dunsin Oyekan and Theophilus Sunday get into a room together, something special tends to come out of it. These two have built a body of collaborative work that covers a lot of ground, from spontaneous worship moments to deeply intentional recordings, and every single one of them is worth your time.
With their latest release “Baruch Hashem Adonai†giving the go
If you have been following Nigerian gospel music for any length of time, you already know that when DunsinOyekan and TheophilusSunday get into a room together, something special tends to come out of it. These two have built a body of collaborative work that covers a lot of ground, from spontaneous worship moments to deeply intentional recordings, and every single one of them is worth your time.
With their latest release “Baruch Hashem Adonai†giving the gospel music community plenty to talk about, now feels like the perfect moment to go back through what they have built together. Here are five collaborations to add to your playlist immediately.
OgoÂ
“Ogo†means glory in Yoruba, and this song delivers exactly that from start to finish. Released in 2023, this was one of the earlier collaborations between the two ministers and it set the tone for everything that came after. Dunsin has shared that the song was born out of a spontaneous moment of worship during a recording session, when he felt a portal open in the spirit and called Theophilus on stage to declare it over the nations. The result is a song built around a simple, repetitive declaration — “Ogo, ogo, hallelujah, to the Lamb†— that somehow gets more compelling every time it loops. Put it on and see how long it takes before your hands go up.
Emperor of the UniverseÂ
Released in January 2024 as part of Dunsin Oyekan’s album “The Great Commission,†“Emperor of the Universe†is the kind of collaboration that reminds you why both of these ministers carry the weight they do. At over sixteen minutes long, it is not a song you put on in passing. It is a song you sit with, and it rewards every minute of that attention. Theophilus Sunday’s contribution on this track adds a layer that makes the whole thing feel like a full worship experience rather than just a recorded song.
You Are Worthy
This collaboration is a masterclass in lead-and-response worship. “You Are Worthy†captures a raw, unscripted essence where Dunsin and Theophilus trade verses that center entirely on the sovereignty of God. It is a song that doesn’t rely on complex production, instead leaning into the vocal strength and spiritual conviction of both men. It has become a staple for those looking to deep-dive into a focused atmosphere of reverence.
Who Is Like You Oh Lord
In “Who Is Like You Oh Lord,†the two ministers lean into a scriptural declaration of God’s incomparable nature. This track highlights the chemistry between Dunsin’s high-energy delivery and Theophilus’s deep, prophetic chants. The song builds steadily, moving from a quiet acknowledgement to a loud, triumphant shout. It is one of those tracks that feels just as fresh on the fiftieth listen as it did on the first.
Baruch Hashem AdonaiÂ
Their most recent collaboration and the one that has the gospel music community talking right now. “Baruch Hashem Adonai,†which means “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord†in Hebrew, draws from the cry that welcomed Jesus during His triumphant entry into Jerusalem and presents it as a present-day declaration. Dunsin described it as a prophetic sound meant to echo from family altars to nations, and with both their voices on it, the song carries every bit of that intention. A fitting addition to a collaborative catalogue that just keeps growing.
If you have been looking for a worship song to play on repeat this week, Dunsin Oyekan and Theophilus Sunday have something for you — and it is called “Baruch Hashem Adonai.â€
The track brings together two of gospel music’s most powerful voices for a release that arrives as more than just another worship song. Rooted in Scripture and built around the declaration “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the
If you have been looking for a worship song to play on repeat this week, Dunsin Oyekan and Theophilus Sunday have something for you — and it is called “Baruch Hashem Adonai.â€
The track brings together two of gospel music’s most powerful voices for a release that arrives as more than just another worship song. Rooted in Scripture and built around the declaration “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord,†the song draws from the same cry that welcomed Jesus during His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the moment that announced the arrival of the King. Dunsin Oyekan and Theophilus Sunday take that ancient declaration and make it feel urgent and present, a call for voices everywhere to lift the Name of the Lord and prepare their hearts for His presence.
The song does not frame this as something to wait for in the future. It speaks of the Lord coming again and again into homes, families, churches, cities and nations until His will is done on earth as it is in heaven. It is a declaration meant to echo everywhere, from family altars to town halls, from one nation to another, from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Sharing the release, Dunsin Oyekan encouraged listeners to gather in worship and expectation. “Let’s gather around the family altar tonight and prepare to receive this prophetic sound that heralds the Lord’s coming. When He enters, joy invades,†he said.
The song echoes the words recorded in Mark 11:9–10: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!†It stands as an invitation for people everywhere to once again lift the same cry. Baruch Hashem Adonai.

Watch highlights from the Foodie in Lagos Festival below.Â
A Thoughtfully Curated Food Experience
At the heart of the festival was food and plenty of it. Across two days, the festival’s food vendors delivered a diverse range of offerings spanning Nigerian classics, grills, desserts, street food favourites, cocktails, and contemporary fusion dishes. From familiar crowd favourites to exciting new discoveries, attendees were spoilt for choice as they moved from stall to stall sampling flavours and discovering new brands.
The festival’s layout encouraged exploration, with clearly defined vendor zones and relaxed communal seating that made it easy for guests to enjoy meals with friends and family. Many vendors reported sell-outs across both days, reinforcing the festival’s reputation as a key platform for food businesses looking to connect directly with their audience.
More Than a Food Festival
While food was the star, the Foodie in Lagos Festival delivered much more than just great meals. Live DJ sets by DJ Slymn & Guest DJ Lolahstic kept the energy high throughout the day, while a DJ battle and artiste performances turned the evenings into a lively celebration. A live band performance added a soulful touch, giving guests moments to slow down, sing along, dance, and soak in the atmosphere. The Festival was anchored by Deji Osikoya on Day One, with MC Obinna taking over hosting duties on Day Two, while Oludamee hosted the festival’s red carpet — ensuring seamless flow, high energy, and engaging moments throughout the event on both days.
Interactive brand activations dotted the venue, creating engaging experiences that blended seamlessly into the festival environment. From kids’ play areas and game zones to experiential brand spaces and garden-style seating, brands connected meaningfully with guests without disrupting the flow of the event.
Family-Friendly Fun at the Christmas Village
One of the standout attractions was the Christmas Village, curated in partnership with Tinsel Town and thoughtfully integrated into the festival experience. Designed with families in mind, the village offered a range of festive and creative activities for children, making the festival a truly inclusive event.
Young guests enjoyed bead-making workshops, cookie decorating classes, a Santa Grotto experience, and performances at the Elf Play House Theatre. Pamper sessions by Dermaspace added a gentle wellness element, ensuring both kids and parents could relax and enjoy the moment.
The Christmas Village reflected the festival’s commitment to creating a space where families could participate fully, rather than feeling like an afterthought.
Media partners BellaNaija, Olori Supergal, and My Lagos App helped amplify the festival’s reach, ensuring moments from the event travelled far beyond the venue.
A Defining Moment for Foodie in Lagos
For Foodie in Lagos, the festival marked a defining milestone, translating over a decade of digital food storytelling into a shared, real-world experience. Founded in 2013, Foodie in Lagos has grown into one of the city’s most trusted voices in food and lifestyle, consistently shaping conversations around where and how Lagos eats.
As the platform’s second festival, the Foodie in Lagos Festival reflected both the depth of its community and the strength of the trust it has built with audiences, vendors, and brands over the years. What began as an online dining guide has evolved into a platform capable of curating large-scale, community-driven experiences that celebrate Lagos’ ever-evolving food culture.
Held on December 17 and 18, 2025, the Foodie in Lagos Festival firmly established itself as a standout on Lagos’ Detty December calendar.

Omah Lay, in an official announcement, has confirmed the release date of his highly anticipated album, 'Clarity of Mind.'
After months of anticipation and cryptic social media teasers, Afro-fusion sensation Omah Lay has officially confirmed that his highly anticipated sophomore studio album, Clarity of Mind, will be released globally on April 3, 2026.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for the Port Harcourt-born artist as he follows up the massive critical and commercial success of his 2022 debut, Boy Alone. Fans have been eager to see how his signature "purple" sound has evolved, and the title suggests a shift toward a more grounded and self-aware perspective.
The upcoming project is set to be a concise and intentional body of work, featuring a total of 12 tracks. To bridge his recent musical journey with this new era, the album will include three previously released singles that have already made significant waves: the rhythmic and spiritual "Holy Ghost," the hypnotic 2025 hit "Waist," and his most recent emotional offering, "Don’t Love Me."
While his previous work dove deep into themes of isolation and personal struggle, Clarity of Mind is expected to showcase a more balanced Omah Lay. Industry insiders suggest the nine remaining new tracks will lean further into his unique blend of soul, R&B, and traditional West African rhythms, but with a newfound sense of internal peace.
The April 3, 2026, release date perfectly positions the album to dominate the second quarter of the year, likely setting the sonic tone for the 2026 summer music season. As one of Africa’s most compelling global storytellers, Omah Lay’s return is poised to be one of the definitive musical moments of the year.

As the platform’s second festival, the Foodie in Lagos Festival reflected both the depth of its community and the strength of the trust it has built with audiences, vendors, and brands over the years. What began as an online dining guide has evolved into a platform capable of curating large-scale, community-driven experiences that celebrate Lagos’ ever-evolving food culture.
Held on December 17 and 18, 2025, the Foodie in Lagos Festival firmly established itself as a standout on Lagos’ Detty December calendar. Its inclusion in CNN’s 2025 Detty December line-up further underscored the festival’s growing cultural relevance, placing it among the season’s most anticipated food and lifestyle events.
If you missed out on the experience, highlights from the Foodie in Lagos Festival are available to view across Foodie in Lagos’ digital platforms.

Ready to settle into something new? There’s fresh music in town, and SND LAB and Star Baba Jay are behind it.
Their new single, “For Your Love,†leans into an easy, mid-tempo sound that sits between contemporary Afrobeats and R&B. From the first few seconds, the track keeps things measured, with SND LAB setting the pace through a steady rhythm and layered instrumentation that unfolds gently as the song progresses.

Ready to settle into something new? There’s fresh music in town, and SND LAB and Star Baba Jay are behind it.
Their new single, “For Your Love,†leans into an easy, mid-tempo sound that sits between contemporary Afrobeats and R&B. From the first few seconds, the track keeps things measured, with SND LAB setting the pace through a steady rhythm and layered instrumentation that unfolds gently as the song progresses.
Star Baba Jay carries the song with a vocal delivery that feels close and intentional. He sings about devotion and emotional openness, taking his time with the lyrics and letting the story lead. Nothing feels rushed here; instead, the track allows space for feeling and reflection.
While rooted in African rhythms, “For Your Love†travels easily beyond borders. It’s the kind of song that fits late-night listening, quiet drives, or moments when you want something familiar but new. The collaboration points to a shared creative direction built on clarity and mood rather than excess.
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are officially around the corner, and for us in the motherland, Sunday, 1st February 2026, is the only date that matters. While the world watches the “Big Four,†we have our eyes firmly fixed on the Best African Music Performance category. It is more than just an award; it is a celebration of the sounds that have moved from our local streets to the global stage.

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are officially around the corner, and for us in the motherland, Sunday, 1st February 2026, is the only date that matters. While the world watches the “Big Four,†we have our eyes firmly fixed on the Best African Music Performance category. It is more than just an award; it is a celebration of the sounds that have moved from our local streets to the global stage.
This year’s “Big 5†contenders are a perfect mix of seasoned giants and the “new school†leaders who are currently holding the world in a chokehold. Here is everything you need to know about the songs and the stars vying for that golden gramophone.
Gimme Dat – Ayra Starr Featuring Wizkid
The “Celestial Being†and the “Starboy†teamed up once again for “Gimme Dat,†and the results were pure magic. Released on 25th April 2025, the song samples the iconic “911†by WyclefJean and Mary J. Blige, blending jazzy reggae beats with sultry Afrobeats rhythms. It’s a confident, sensual track where Ayra lists exactly what she needs in a lover—peace of mind and 100% commitment—while Wizkid delivers a breezy, seasoned verse.
The “City Boy†himself is back in the Grammy conversation with “Love,†a standout track from his eighth studio album, “No Sign of Weakness,†released on 10th July 2025. Produced by DreSkull, the song is a beautiful, introspective Afro-fusion piece that explores themes of loyalty, self-protection, and genuine devotion. It’s Burna Boy at his most vulnerable, trading his usual high-energy “pon di beats†for a mid-tempo, soulful reflection on who truly stands by you when the lights go out.
Burna is no stranger to the Recording Academy; this nomination brings his career total to a staggering 13 nods over seven consecutive years. Having already won Best Global Music Album in 2021 for “Twice as Tall,†he enters this race as a heavyweight veteran.
With You – Davido Featuring Omah Lay
Released on 18th April 2025 as a highlight of Davido’s fifth studio album, “5ive,†the track is a masterclass in modern Highlife. Inspired by BrightChimezie’s 1984 hit “Because of English,†the song features a repeating guitar loop and an easy, flirtatious charm that is hard to resist. Davido actually considered scrapping the song initially, but we are so glad he didn’t.
Omah Lay’s aching delivery pairs perfectly with Davido’s tender performance, making this a fan favourite. The nomination builds on Davido’s growing Grammy momentum after his historic three-nomination run last year, while for Omah Lay, it’s another well-earned nod that reinforces his place as one of the genre’s most distinctive voices.
PUSH 2 START – Tyla
After making history as the inaugural winner of this category 2024 with “Water,†South African sensation Tyla is looking for a back-to-back victory with “PUSH 2 START.â€
Released on 11th October 2024 as part of her TYLA + deluxe album, the song uses car metaphors to navigate the thrills of attraction and commitment. It’s a flawless blend of Amapiano, Pop, and R&B that has already dominated the Billboard and UK Afrobeats charts.
Eddy Kenzo & Mehran Matin – Hope & Love
Adding a unique, cross-cultural flavour to the category is “Hope & Love,†a collaboration between Uganda’s Eddy Kenzo and Iranian artist Mehran Matin. Released on 13th August 2025, the song is an uplifting Afrobeat anthem designed to unite hearts across borders. Featuring the joyful energy of the Masaka Kids Africana, the track is a reminder that music is a universal language that shines brightest in the darkness.
Eddy Kenzo remains a pioneer for East African music on the global stage. This isn’t his first rodeo; he made history in 2023 as the first Ugandan artist to be nominated for a Grammy. His return to the category with Mehran Matin shows that his mission to “spread love†through music is far from over.
Did You Know?
The Best African Music Performance category is relatively new. It was created in June 2023 and first awarded in 2024 to recognise recordings that utilise unique local expressions from across the continent. The Recording Academy established this dedicated space to acknowledge the massive global impact of genres like Afrobeats, Amapiano, Highlife, and Bongo Flava.

Adekunle Gold is definitely in his “I’m getting my money up†era, and we’ve got all the receipts.
The superstar kept his word about dropping something new. In yesterday’s newsletter, he told subscribers “I have a surprise for you tonight,†and by midnight – boom! – we had a fresh single. Some fans probably stayed up just to be first to hear it.
“Bobo†is a fun, bouncy track all about money, confidence, and not caring what people think. Featuring Lojay and Shoday, it’s basically an anthem for anyone levelling up and living their best life. Plus, it’s packed with that Nigerian humour we all love about how money changes everything.
AG didn’t just give us audio, there’s a visualiser too, so you can watch all three artists bring the song to life.
This comes after “Coco Money,†which is exactly why we’re saying Adekunle Gold is really in his money era right now.

Ayra Starr is busy making the case for being the coolest person alive. Over the weekend, the 22-year-old Nigerian pop star showed up at Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour in Miami looking beautiful, sounding like summer, and casually performing her new single “Hot Body†alongside ChrisMartin.
Before they even started, Martin gave her a glowing intro: “This is Ayra Starr from Nigeria. She is going to be the world’s biggest pop star soon.†And if you’ve heard “Hot Body,†you know he’s not wrong.
Ayra taught Coldplay’s guitarist the lyrics on stage, danced like the main character, because she is, and kept things electric, without needing to shout. Dancers flipped around her, the crowd swayed and screamed, and just when you thought it couldn’t get more surreal—LionelMessi appeared on the big screen, watching it all unfold like the rest of us.
“I just performed Hot Body with Coldplay !!! And Messi was in the audience,†she wrote on Instagram, casually dropping that bombshell like she hadn’t just done the coolest thing in the world.

It’s a sabi summerrr indeed!

It’s a sabi summerrr indeed! AyraStarr just dropped some brand-new photos from her recent performance with none other than Coldplay, and if you know anything about Ayra, you know the vibe is never halfway. Captioning it “back on stageee with the best Band in the worlddd Coldplay,†the superstar reminded us that her summer isn’t just hot, it’s global.
The photos take us right into the heart of the performance. One shot captures a fully coordinated set with dancers dressed in edgy black leather trousers and white tank tops printed with black stars. The scene has a cool, industrial look with chain-link fencing, stomping boots and sharp choreography all coming together.
Another photo brings that unmistakable concert magic. Ayra, dressed in white with metallic accents, fishnets and knee-high boots, performs alongside Chris Martin. Her hand rests lightly on his shoulder as blue lights flood the stage. A drum kit lingers in the background, adding to the thrill of the moment.
And just when you think it’s all about the stage, Ayra switches things up completely. The final look is Western-inspired, but with her own twist. A classic cowboy hat, chunky gold jewellery and a black strappy top with gold hardware come together for a bold, confident look. It’s giving cowgirl meets cosmopolitan, from Lagos to London.
Are you loving this look on Ayra Starr? Because we definitely are.
