Olamide Unveils Surprise Project ‘Ikigai’ Featuring Asake and Fireboy
In a surprising development, Olamide revealed his new project, ‘Ikigai,’ on June 26, 2024, following a surprise performance at Davido and Chioma’s wedding. The 7-track EP, named after the Japanese concept meaning “reason for being” or “life’s purpose,” features YBNL stars Fireboy and Asake on the track ‘Uptown Disco.’ Additionally, Olamide collaborates with former YBNL associates Pheelz, Young Jonn, and Lil Kesh on ‘Synchro System.’
Prior to the announcement, Olamide teased ‘Hello Habibi’ on Instagram, which is also part of the EP. This project comes as a surprise since Olamide hinted in 2023 that his last album ‘Unruly’ might be his final release. ‘Ikigai’ will be Olamide’s 10th solo project and 15th overall, continuing his legacy of hit records in Nigerian music. Fans are eagerly anticipating the YBNL reunion showcased in ‘Ikigai,’ set for release on June 26.
