Published

on

Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s daughter won the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at Sunday’s Soul Train Awards for co-writing her mum’s hit ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ a song celebrating dark- and brown-skinned women.

Ivy Carter gives a vocal performance that opens and closes the song, which also features Wizkid and Saint Jhn.

The Carters weren’t at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas to accept the honour named after the legendary Motown songwriting duo Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Ivy Carter shares the win with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, St. Jhn and several other co-writers.

This week could get even better for Ivy Carter: Grammy nominations will be revealed Wednesday and ‘Brown Skin Girl’ could earn the young star her first Grammy nomination (Beyoncé has won 23 Grammys and Jay-Z has 22).

Brown Skin Girl’ — which features Beyoncé namedropping Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Campbell and Kelly Rowland and singing lyrics like, “I love everything about you, from your nappy curls to every single curve” — was also nominated for best collaboration at the Soul Train Awards.

Most of the top winners didn’t attend the show, and only three of the 12 awards were handed out during the live telecast: best female R&B/soul artist (H.E.R.), best new artist (Summer Walker) and best gospel/international award (Kirk Franklin)

Chris Brown and Drake’s ‘No Guidance’ — which has spent the last five months, and counting, in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart — was the big winner, picking up song of the year, best dance performance and best collaboration.

Lizzo won album/mixtape of the year for “Cuz I Love You” and video of the year for ‘Juice.

The awards show, which aired on BET and was hosted by actresses Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell, also gave special honors to gospel music icon Yolanda Adams and Songwriter Hall of Famers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, who have worked with Janet Jackson throughout her career and have also crafted No. 1 hits for George Michael, Usher, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men.

Exclusive Interview with BabaBellz on Enjoyment Night & New Singles

Published

on

The Nigerian music scene continues to witness the rise of versatile and intentional artists, and one name that has consistently stayed true to his craft is BabaBellz. Known for his dynamic sound, deep lyrical expression, and ability to switch seamlessly between Afro vibes, hip-hop, and inspirational music, BabaBellz is steadily carving a unique identity in the industry.

From the journey of his project R2GTheAlbum (Road To Glory) to the release of his latest dual singles “Enjoy” and “Mama’s Prayer”, the talented artist has proven that he is not just about making music, but about delivering messages that connect with real-life experiences.
While “Mama’s Prayer” touches the heart with emotional depth and appreciation for motherly love, “Enjoy” brings a vibrant Afro sound that encourages fans to celebrate life, hustle hard, and live their dreams. This duality perfectly showcases BabaBellz’s creative range and his commitment to making meaningful music for different moods and audiences.

In this exclusive interview with Blow Naija Media, BabaBellz opens up about his musical journey, the inspiration behind his recent releases, and his highly anticipated event “Enjoyment Night with BabaBellz”, set to celebrate both his birthday and his growing fanbase.

He also shares insights into the challenges of the music industry, his motivation to keep pushing forward, and why consistency, faith, and purpose are key to success.

Read the full interview below as BabaBellz gives us a closer look into his world, his music, and what fans should expect next.

Enjoyment Night with BabaBellz

 

INTRODUCTION

Blow Naija Media:
Hello BabaBellz, how’s life? Family and music?

BabaBellz:
Hello… beautiful people. Life’s good, famz doing great and music (smiles)… we pushing it.


ON HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY & CONSISTENCY

Blow Naija Media:
We want to have a quick conversation with you about your music life. From the kickstart of R2GTheAlbum (Road To Glory) to your latest dual singles “Enjoy” and “Mama’s Prayer”, how have you been able to keep pushing and never relent on this musical energy and great vibes?

BabaBellz:
Firstly, I have to return all the glory back to the Almighty God for the knowledge, wisdom and understanding He gave me in this entertainment life.

I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s not easy… the time, the late-night meditations, the pen game, studio sessions, the ups and downs, even the way Nigerian and African music is evolving, it’s not an easy task. But like the wise ones always say: never give up.

I guess that’s one of the major reasons why I keep going and never look back. God has been faithful to me, I won’t lie about that. Glory be to God.


ON “MAMA’S PRAYER” & “ENJOY” INSPIRATION

Blow Naija Media:
Wow, that sounds amazing. Now let’s talk about your dual single before we move to your event “Enjoyment Night with BabaBellz.”

What inspired you to create two different genres? “Mama’s Prayer” is emotional and deeply touching, while “Enjoy” is a vibrant Afro sound. We’ve seen you do something similar during your “My Sound” era. So what inspired these two beautiful records?

BabaBellz:
Well… my major goal is to make people understand something about me after I dropped my last album MY SOUND. If you listen to that project very well, you’ll understand what I’m trying to point out, I can make different kinds of sounds.

I’m not saying I’m the best, but with the grace of God, I know I can make good music. Look at songs like Ghetto Breed, Spirit of a Hustler, IDGAF About You, those are international hip-hop standards that even people overseas play daily.

Now bring it down to songs like Kilofe, You, Bend Over, Sisi Caro, these are 100% Afro sounds, expressions of love, beautiful music that makes women feel special, club bangers, and vacation vibes.

Then you have Afro-Adura and inspirational songs like Blessings, Bless My Way, Hustle Mi, etc.

To cut it short, don’t be surprised by any kind of sound you hear from me. My sounds can be zig-zag, but the main thing is you’ll always understand what I’m saying and where I’m coming from.

I don’t just jump on the mic and say random things. My songs are a reflection of how I think and feel at that moment. But I’m also conscious that artists have a responsibility to the masses, so I watch what I say.

Mama’s Prayer” is to appreciate all good mothers and remind everyone that a mother’s love is priceless and can never be replaced.

Enjoy” is for people to dance, groove, and understand that enjoyment is part of life. Make money and enjoy life. Don’t just dance — chase your goals, achieve your dreams, and live good.

Because if I make my money, I will definitely enjoy my life.


ABOUT “ENJOYMENT NIGHT WITH BABABELLZ”

Blow Naija Media:
What is your event “Enjoyment Night” all about?

BabaBellz:
Well… as we all know, July 31st is my birthday. I haven’t always celebrated it the way many entertainers do, like hosting big events. I usually celebrate with close friends and family.

But this time, I chose to celebrate with people who truly cherish my music and my craft. Considering the current economic situation, I decided not to sell tables or create VIP sections. Everyone supporting the BellzExpressions brand is automatically a VVIP to me.

I just want people to come out, celebrate my music and birthday with me. It’s nothing too complicated, just a night of love, appreciation, and music… a night specially made for BabaBellz.


EXPECTATIONS FOR THE EVENT

Blow Naija Media:
Are we expecting any big artists at the event? And what more should fans look forward to?

BabaBellz:
Yes, of course. But like I said earlier, everyone supporting my brand is big to me. It’s not easy for someone to genuinely support you without incentives.

There will be a lot of big personalities, artists, CEOs, top entertainers, DJs, hypemen, MCs, and more. Everybody is welcome.

Just look good, come with positive vibes, buy your drinks, enjoy your chops, and have a great time.


SHOUTOUTS & APPRECIATION

Blow Naija Media:
Would you like to give a shoutout to anyone supporting you?

BabaBellz:
Yes ooo… big shoutout to everyone supporting me, those I know and those I don’t know. From day one supporters, real and fake friends (laughs), they are all part of the journey.

Shoutout to my dad, my mom, my woman, my siblings, DJs, hypemen, show promoters, my brother Blow Naija and his family, my producers and sound engineers, my Uniosun & BPA guys, IB city & Osogbo friends, and all Lagos Island and Mainland homies, maximum respect and love.


CLOSING

Blow Naija Media:
Thank you so much for your time, BabaBellz. Keep shining, keep moving, and never stop making good music for those of us who love great sounds.

BabaBellz:
Sure, all on God… BellzExpressionsMusic for life. Thank you for having me. Jah bless 🙏🤍
