CONTROVERSY ROCKS NIGERIAN MUSIC SCENE

2Brand Beats Asake, Burna Boy and Tems to Stay on Nigeria’s Top Trending Hit of 2026

The Nigerian music industry has been thrown into chaos after emerging artiste 2Brand stunned the nation by overtaking global heavyweights Asake, Burna Boy, and Tems to retain the No. 12 spot on Nigeria’s Top Trending Songs chart in 2026.

In what many industry insiders are calling “the biggest upset in Afrobeats history,” 2Brand’s hit single has refused to budge from the top position, despite massive releases and promotional pushes from internationally celebrated superstars. Social media is already on fire.

Fans of Burna Boy are questioning the credibility of local streaming charts, with some alleging manipulation and “industry politics.” Asake’s loyal followers insist the numbers don’t reflect street popularity, while Tems’ fanbase argues that international streams are being deliberately excluded to favor local acts.

On the other side, supporters of 2Brand are pushing back hard. “This is the sound of the streets, not industry privilege,” one fan wrote on X. “You can’t ignore organic growth just because it didn’t come from a Grammy winner,” another added. Music analysts say the rise of 2Brand exposes a growing crack in Nigeria’s music hierarchy—where local resonance, radio dominance, and grassroots support may now outweigh international acclaim.

Controversy Trails Koughar1’s “Bank Alert” as It Shakes the Nigerian Music Scene Within Days of Release

UK-based Nigerian Afrobeat artist Koughar1 has sparked heated conversations in the music industry following the explosive release of his new single “Bank Alert” featuring rising vocalist Sleeky Stan. In less than a week, the track has taken over clubs, playlists, and social media timelines—but not without stirring controversy.

Produced by the enigmatic Katana, Bank Alert boldly celebrates money, success, and material validation—at a time when many Nigerians are grappling with economic hardship. Critics argue the timing of such a “cash-hyped” anthem is insensitive, but fans are calling it the hustler's gospel.

Koughar1, known for pushing boundaries, didn't hold back. In his words: “Bank Alert’ isn’t about vanity, it’s about victory. If you’ve hustled hard and finally see that credit alert, you’ve earned the right to celebrate — loudly.”

The song’s unapologetic message has sparked debates online, with some calling it tone-deaf, while others hail it as a motivational masterpiece that mirrors the Nigerian dream—grind hard, cash out, and flex.

FEYY SET TO SHAKE THE NIGERIAN MUSIC SCENE WITH DEBUT EP “PEACE OF MIND”

   

FEYY SET TO SHAKE THE NIGERIAN MUSIC SCENE WITH DEBUT EP “PEACE OF MIND”

Emerging Afro-soul artist Feyy, born Felicia Adefunmilayo Oluwafeyikemi Sodade in Lagos, Nigeria, and now based in Toronto, Canada, is poised to take the Nigerian music industry by storm with the release of her debut EP, “Peace of Mind.”

A dynamic fusion of West African vibrancy and Canadian calm, Feyy's music is a reflection of her journey across continents. Relocating to Canada at the age of 17, she found comfort in songwriting during her Psychology studies at the University of Ottawa. What began as a form of personal healing soon evolved into a powerful musical expression rooted in vulnerability, strength, and truth.

“Peace of Mind” — a six-track EP crafted in collaboration with Nigerian producer Marcell Moon (Ugochukwu Obi) — explores themes of self-discovery, love, heartbreak, and spiritual awakening.

The title track, “Peace of Mind,” opens the project with raw introspection, setting a deeply emotional tone. This is followed by “Baby Yo” — a warm, romantic rhythm that expresses longing and affection. “Falling” captures the complexities of love, passion, and emotional uncertainty.

On “Save Us,” Feyy shifts to a broader spiritual narrative, delivering one of the project’s most resonant moments — a haunting reflection on faith, struggle, and collective healing. “Better Alone” turns heartbreak into power, while the final track “Moving On” serves as a confident declaration of release and rebirth.

Sonically, the EP blends Afro-soul, R&B, and poetic storytelling, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and universally relatable. Each track contributes to the unfolding story of a young woman embracing her voice, her roots, and her emotional truth.

With Peace of Mind, Feyy not only introduces herself to the world but offers a healing soundtrack for anyone on a journey of self-reconnection.
