DIAMOND BOY RELEASES “MAJI/RETURNS,” AN ANTHEM ON HUSTLE, PRESSURE, AND PAYBACK

Diamond Boy is a Nigerian singer and songwriter who has been building his sound steadily since 2020
under the DB imprint. Known for blending Afrosounds with Afrobeat and street-driven melodies, he
writes from lived experience. His music often pulls from the realities of young Nigerians chasing stability
in a fast-moving city. Over time, he has shaped a style that balances catchy hooks with honest storytelling
about ambition, setbacks, loyalty, and survival. With the dual release “Maji/Returns,” Diamond Boy
presents two connected records that speak to the grind from different emotional angles.

On “Maji,” he leans into reflection. The song opens with mental exhaustion: “As e de do me for my head,
brother I don’t even know.” It is a clear admission of pressure and confusion. He speaks about hearing
“No” too many times while still pushing forward, painting scenes of late nights on the road at 2am when
others are asleep. The proverb “water no get enemy” becomes the backbone of the record. Like water, he
chooses to flow, adapt, and stay steady. There is pain in the line “Friends wey I get no be brother,” which
captures betrayal and disappointment. He balances that with gratitude for his mother’s support, admitting
that without her, the stress could have broken him.

“Returns” carries a firmer tone. The opening line, “Life na race, everybody de relay,” frames the journey
as competitive and urgent. Diamond Boy declares loyalty to his grind with “Married to the game and I no
fit fornicate,” making it clear that distractions have no place in his focus. The repeated line “The hustle no
fit tire me” reinforces stamina and belief. The hook, “As I de file all my returns,” uses financial
language to describe the reward for hard work. Every sacrifice is an investment that must yield profit. He
references Bitcoin, millions, and luxury drinks, showing the modern face of wealth dreams. At the same
time, he admits, “Many bills I de calculate for my head,” grounding the song in real responsibility. The
record blends ambition, pressure, and self-belief. Together, “Maji” and “Returns” tell a full story: endure
the storm, stay focused, and trust that the effort will pay back.
