American rapper Lil Baby has been confirmed as a headliner for the 2026 edition of Flytime Coca-Cola Rhythm Unplugged, scheduled for December 21 at Eko Convention Centre in Lagos. The event is part of Lagos’ annual Detty December celebrations.

In a video shared by the concert organisers in October, Lil Baby addressed Nigerian fans and confirmed the date of his performance. He also directed viewers to the event’s official website for more information. His booking adds an international hip-hop act to Flytime Promotions’ December programme, which attracts music fans to Lagos during the festive season.

Born Dominique Armani Jones, Lil Baby gained attention in 2017 with mixtapes including Harder Than Hard and Too Hard. His popularity grew the following year with the release of his debut studio album, Harder Than Ever. The project featured Yes Indeed, his collaboration with Canadian rapper Drake, which became one of his early hits and helped introduce his music to a wider audience.

The December show will mark another appearance in Nigeria for Lil Baby, who performed at a Christmas event in Lagos in 2018. He later collaborated with Nigerian singer Davido on So Crazy, released in 2020 as part of Davido’s album A Better Time. The collaboration connected the American rapper with Nigeria’s music scene.

Founded by Cecil Hammond in 2004, Flytime Promotions organises Rhythm Unplugged as part of its annual concert programme. The event has hosted Nigerian acts and international performers, making it a regular feature of Lagos’ December entertainment calendar.

Lil Baby’s announcement comes after Flytime confirmed American R&B singer Brandy for its House of R&B concert on December 20, a day before Rhythm Unplugged. The two shows will bring different genres to the programme, with Brandy representing R&B and Lil Baby headlining the hip-hop offering.
