He seamlessly maintains his signature flow while infusing an irresistible dance beat in the song. He also beckons for applause, labeling himself a ‘child of grace’ (omo ologo).
With a busy schedule ahead, the YBNL signee aims to clinch his first Grammy Award this year, as he has been nominated in the ‘Best African Song Performance’ category for his hit single,Amapiano, featuring Olamide at this year’s Grammy Awards, which is set to hold on Sunday, February 5.

That same month, he released his debut extended play, Ololade (Mr. Money), featuring his breakthrough song,OmoOpeand the single,Sungba.
