How The Once Infamous Nigerian Singer, Skiibii Finally Saw Fame
According to local parlance, “Who Go Blow Go Blow.” That word really tell the story of Skiibii Mayana who saw death, came back and never saw fame. But it seems his ancestors prayers are now working for him. ANTHONY ADA ABRAHAM writes.
The advent of social media in Nigeria has really helped to hype not just musicians, but politicians, businessmen, women and individuals who are now seen as social media influencers.
Lots of people have pulled different pranks (not excluding pranks) on social media just to promote either a movie or music. In 2015, things took really interesting turn for Nigerian singer, Skiibii, when he faked his own death and had people sympathising and crying over his untimely demise.
It was later discovered that the news was false and the singer was only doing it to gain attention and bring awareness to his music.
Many fans got upset about the stunt and some swore that they would never lose their dignity so much as to fake their own death just for fame.
In an interview on the midday oasis with OAP Dotun, barely a year after he left Five Star Music in 2018 to set up his own record label, Skiibii said he faked his death because he was ready for everything but people never saw beauty in his talent.
“I was ready for this. For everything. What I feel is that people don’t know what I’m capable of. They don’t see the beauty in my talent. More bangers coming. Na dem say na hit , me I no know say na hit sef,” he said.
However, his plan failed and the criticisms hampered his rise to fame and things generally didn’t happen as he had expected.
It seemed his talent was retrogressing when Five Star Music was his record label with KCee and E-Money as his bosses. There weren’t any song he did that made wave. He was like a failure from the start.
There was a time people insinuated that he was just forcing himself to be famous even after trying everything within and outside his powers to make it in the music industry.
Even E-Money’s fame and money couldn’t guarantee his musical career to the summit, not until the singer announced that he was leaving the label in 2017, leaving many to wonder how he would cope on his own.
After the drama, the singer didn’t give up and went on trying his hardest to release songs that people will appreciate and notice his talent with. Though, in the end, it worked out better.
Interestingly, his hard work paid off and his songs since 2018 have been major hits including “That’s How Star Do,” “Sensima” and “Skibobo.”
It now dawned on his followers that truly he wasn’t just a crap musician but his talent was being suppressed by his ex record label.
Today, Skiibii has done songs with forces to be reckoned with in the industry like Reminisce, Reekado Banks Fiokee, Masterkraft, DJ Neptune ,JayPizzle, Kosifresh, Falz, Teni, D’Tunes and others.
With his boldness to leave five star music and his newly found levels as a musical symbol whose songs can be played and danced to anywhere, it started a revolution of movement of other artistes who though might also be feeling the pinch but couldn’t so anything.
Del’B is a prominent hit producer and was largely responsible for KCee’s chart topping hits, but he dumped them in 2015 after unreconcilable differences.
In November 2016, Harrysong announced a departure from Five Star Music via his social media, he expressed his displeasure at being underappreciated by the record label, and has moved on to create his music company, AlterPlate.
Soberekon is known for his mastery in entertainment business and talent management but couldn’t stay after he was accused that he was responsible for promoting the death rumour of Skiibii.
Though he has worked and helped shaped the musical life of KCee, every thing turned upside down when he also left. He’s mostly seen with Davido and other big rivals of his former paymaster. “That’s how stars Do”.
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 🙏🤍
