Ayra Starr Shines Bright on “The Tonight Show” With an Electrifying Performance

Ayra Starr’s performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, was absolutely incredible in every sense of the word! The Nigerian singer performed a medley of her hits “Last Heartbreak Song” and “Woman Commando” from her sophomore album “The Year I Turned 21“. Her soulful voice and captivating stage presence left me speechless.
What struck me most was her confidence and charisma on stage. She owned the moment, and her energy was infectious. The way she transitioned from the soulful “Last Heartbreak Song” to the energetic “Woman Commando” was seamless and showcased her impressive vocal range.
The choreography that came with her “Woman Commando” performance was the highlight of the day. Beautiful rendition it was!
Ayra Starr’s performance was not only a testament to her talent but also a milestone for Afrobeats globally. She joins an elite group of Nigerian artists who have graced The Tonight Show stage, including Wizkid, Tems, CKay, Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema.
Watching her perform, I couldn’t help but feel proud of how far she’s come. From her debut EP in 2021 to her recent Grammy nomination, Ayra Starr’s rise to fame is a true inspiration. Her music and message are reaching a global audience, and I have no doubt she’ll continue to break barriers and push the boundaries of Afrobeats.

Blaqbonez Stakes His Claim With “Everlasting Taker”

Blaqbonez has built a career on turning verses into declarations, and his new single “Everlasting Taker” follows that tradition. Released under Chocolate City Music, the track doesn’t sound like a quick flex: it sounds like a rapper setting down a marker for the long run.
From the first line, you hear an artist intent on proving he’s not a flash in the pan. “I go dey here when the dust settle,” he raps, voice steady with the kind of defiance his fans know him for. Beyond the bravado, this line declares his permanence in the game.

The production, handled by Ragee, balances pounding drums with airy synth layers, creating a backdrop that keeps Blaqbonez squarely at the centre. Over it, he moves between sharp, unflinching rap lines and a hook that drills itself into your head: “everlasting taker.” Simple but memorable, the song keeps replaying in your head after the track finishes.
Lyrically, Blaqbonez walks a line between raw confidence and rare honesty. He brags about his rise and his place in the game, but he also hints at the years of being overlooked and doubted. That blend of toughness and truth is what gives the record its edge.

Fans haven’t missed the message. On X, reactions poured in almost immediately — one listener called it “a hustler’s anthem,” while another tagged it “the hardest Blaqbonez we’ve heard in a while.” Within days, the track was trending and climbing charts, proving the single has already struck a chord beyond his core audience.
More than just another release, Everlasting Taker feels like the opening shot of a bigger project. With his upcoming album No Excuses around the corner, this single reads like a mission statement: Blaqbonez isn’t here to compete for attention; he’s here to take his place and keep it.
“Everlasting Taker” shows Blaqbonez goes beyond temporary fame; he’s setting the stage for a lasting legacy.

Odumodublvck, Stormzy, and Zlatan Link Up on High-Energy Track ‘Pay Me’

Odumodublvck is back, and this time he’s crossing borders. His new single, “Pay Me”, features UK grime star Stormzy and Nigerian street-hop sensation Zlatan, delivering a track that fuses Nigerian drill with grime and highlife influences. The result is an unmistakably energetic song that resonates from Lagos to London.
Produced by Scarr, “Pay Me” balances driving drums with airy keyboards, creating a rhythm that commands attention.

The track demonstrates Odumodublvck’s ability to blend street energy with clever production, making it feel fresh without losing its African roots.
The music video takes the song’s playful energy further. In it, Odumodublvck, Stormzy, and Zlatan attempt to crack an ATM, only for it to resist their efforts; eventually, an explosion opens the vault, triggering a celebratory dance sequence. The visuals perfectly match the song’s mix of humor and intensity, keeping viewers entertained from start to finish.
Fans have quickly embraced the release. Within days, “Pay Me” was trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with hundreds of thousands of engagements. Prominent artists, including Olamide, have praised the track, amplifying its reach and confirming its impact on both the Nigerian and international music scene.
For listeners seeking music that combines infectious rhythms, memorable hooks, and a clear sense of style, “Pay Me” is a standout. It reinforces Odumodublvck’s growing influence and highlights the creative synergy possible when Nigerian talent collaborates with global artists.
