He gained wider recognition after finishing among the Top 5 finalists on the first season of MTN’s Next Afrobeats Star, where he received mentorship from renowned music producer Sarz. Now, he introduces a more personal side of himself with his six-track EP, “I Am Lucky Yay,” a project that moves through memories, romance, loyalty, and the lessons that come with understanding oneself.

The EP opens with “Good Ole Days,” a nostalgic look at a simpler time when mobile data was not a necessity and fifty naira could buy a meal of beans. It recalls the freedom of growing up without the pressures and judgments that often come with adulthood. On “Loyal,” Lucky Yay shifts to romance, expressing his appreciation for a woman’s love and asking to follow wherever life takes her. “My Typa Girl” carries that affection with a straightforward declaration of attraction, while “Clingy Baby” takes a more honest approach to relationships. Here, he admits that he may not be the right person for his love interest and apologises for the hurt he could cause. “Danciya” turns toward ambition and the hustle, making it clear that money remains his priority, while “Ganga” closes the project with a confession that
