  • After keeping us waiting for six whole years, the queen of heartbreak finally dropped her 4th album, 30. Despite having eleven tracks that are sure to have you crying hot tears, we do realise that for some of you Nkiru Sylvanuses, that won’t be enough. Here are 6 dramatic Nigerian break-up songs for a total heartbreak experience. 

    Omoge Mi – PSquare

    Once upon a time, these guys were the hottest thing on the music scene – even hotter than party jollof rice. Why? Well, they gave us hits like this classic about catching your girl red-handed with your best friend. Ouch! 

    Ego – Djinee

    This guy literally said, “If I die now I go happy say, say when I dey this world I don fall in love”. Really? All you came to do in this world is give someone your mumu button? Interesting. 

    Bibanke – Asa

    This song is for heartbreak that went to Harvard. You can’t play this because your crush aired you. Instead, we’ll advise you to save it for when he leaves you at the altar. 

    Not The Girl – Darey Art Alade

    Another mature heartbreak song, Darey was in his peak heartbreak bag when he made this song. Complete with a suit and over-the-top piano, he sings about his girl switching up on him. It’s sad, but lowkey hilarious because isn’t change the only thing that’s constant about life? 

    Thunder Fire You – Ric Hassani

    My favourite part of this song  was the choir assisting Ric Hassani cussing out his ex. That ladies and gentlemen, is what we like to call DEDICATION to being petty. 

    F*ck You – Kiss Daniel

    We saved this for last because you can only play this song when you’re ready to move on. Once you play this, there are no tears left to cry. One day, Kiss Daniel will explain the breakfast he ate that motivated him to drag someone for filth like this. 

    Kindly seek spiritual help if all these songs don’t get you through your heartbreak.

  • If you get more than 8 lyrics correctly on this list, your pants might need to be padlocked. You’re too horny.

  • As kids, we did a lot of things that we look back on and shake our heads. Do you know the most hilarious one? Realizing that half the songs we were singing with passion as kids are unbelievably sexual, filthy or littered with sexual metaphors.

    Today, we are going to take a look at some of those songs.

    Do Me by P.Square

    Maybe I am a little bit slow but it didn’t click in my head that the P-Square brothers were telling random women at the club to do them (as in, sleep with them). Do you know how shocked and gagged I was when I realized what I had sung along to all those years? God safe us.

    Ur Waist by Iyanya

    Unlike Do Me where a lot of us actually had no inkling, Ur Waist was much more overtly sexual and obvious. However, due to how popular and mainstream the song was, we still had many kids bumping and grinding to this despite how unbelievably inappropriate it was. Hell, I think I remember them playing this at children’s birthday parties.

    Kerewa by Zule Zoo

    I think I can say that a lot of us didn’t really know what Kerewa was about the first time we heard it. I know I definitely had no idea, and when I found out I was like, ‘surely, you lie!’ Turns out they weren’t lying, and we were spitting trash as kids. I think that explains a lot about our lives now.

    Bizzy Body by P.Square

    P.Square had a knack for making overtly sexual songs come across as very tame. This is hella impressive because the song had the lines ‘If I catch you, I go turn you on, when I grab you, to the break of dawn, you go loose control.’ I think at this point we can all agree that almost every song we listened to as kids were very sexual.

    Kondo by Dagrin

    This is a bop, I have to say that first of all. Secondly, this is possibly the most detailed sexual bop on this list, my God. There’s a line that goes ‘Na today, me and you go do it all’ and you know what? I stan.

  • The legendary Fela Kuti has been nominated to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

  • While the year in music started off rocky, a lot of our favourite stars have since come through with at least one banger. So, here are 10 singles from the first quarter of 2020 (January to March) that soared above the rest.

    Rema — “Beamer (Bad Boys)”

    2019’s biggest breakout star, Rema started off 2020 with the same hit-making energy. “Beamer”, one of the two singles he’s released this year, is another infectious reminder of why his rise has been so astronomic.

    Adekunle Gold — “Jore” ft. Kizz Daniel

    Not one to collaborate with many people outside of his wife, Adekunle struck afropop gold when he decided to enlist the gifted Kizz Daniel for his first single of 2020, the exceptional “Jore”.

    Wande Coal — “Again”

    While Wande Coal is easily one of the greatest living afropop stars, it’s been a while since he dropped something as undeniably great as “Again” — a song that utilises all his gifts to full effect.

    Burna Boy — “Odogwu”

    Seemingly incapable of making a bad song at this point, Burna Boy’s first single of the year, “Odogwu” is another confident track from a star at the peak of his powers.

    Oxlade — “Away”

    Set to be one of 2020’s biggest breakout acts, Oxlade successfully kicked off the new decade with “Away” — the fantastic lead single off his star-making debut project, Oxygen.

    Teni — “Marry”

    One of Teni’s most enviable gifts as an artist is her ability to make songs that are both catchy and relatable. On “Marry”, her first single of the year, she nails that impressive balance yet again.

    DJ Neptune — “Nobody” ft. Joeboy & Mr Eazi

    When it comes to orchestrating bangers, very few DJs come close to Neptune. For his second single of the year, “Nobody”, he enlisted Joeboy and Mr Eazi, resulting in one of the best songs of the year so far.

    Peruzzi — “Gunshot”

    Very few afropop stars can write a song quite like Peruzzi, and “Gunshot”, his first release of the year, finds him using that ability to create one of his catchiest singles to date.

    Patoranking — “I’m In Love”

    A staggeringly consistent hitmaker, Patoranking knocked it out of the park with his first effort of 2020, “I’m In Love”. The dancehall-influenced love song is simply impossible to dislike.

    Efe Oraka — “Zion” ft M.I

    A truly exciting rising star Efe Oraka returned from a painfully long hiatus with the outstanding “Zion”, a beautifully written and performed track that includes a standout guest verse from M.I.
