One of Nigeria’s fastest-rising stars, Fido, is gearing up to release his debut EP, Olayemi, and it’s dropping on August 1, 2025.

Backed by powerhouse label EMPIRE, Olayemi is already making waves before its release. The project packs eight vibrant tracks, each one dripping with the kind of raw energy and authenticity that fans are craving.

Two early singles, “Joy is Coming” and “Money Moves”, have given listeners a taste of Fido’s sonic versatility, balancing soulful melodies with confident, forward-pushing lyrics. Both tracks are gaining momentum fast, hinting at the full EP’s potential to become one of the year’s standout Afrobeat projects.

What makes Olayemi exciting isn’t just the sound, it’s the story. Named after a traditional Yoruba name meaning “my wealth has come”, the EP feels like a statement of intent.

With Nigeria’s music scene constantly evolving, Fido stands out as part of the new generation pushing Afrobeat into fresh, global territory. If Olayemi delivers on the hype (and all signs say it will), this could mark the beginning of something major.

Stay locked. August 1st. Fido is coming.
