Two years ago, I published 35 reasons why the crown belonged to him. By 2026, the irreducible truth is absolute: Chris Brown is modern R&B's only true King. However, the most critical piece of his legacy remains unfinished.

✍️Something on the radio rearranged me on a five-minute drive to the orphanage, and it took 14 years to understand that Adele is the last monoculture. The reason it should unsettle the industry more than it currently seems to is worth taking seriously.

‘YE’ is a career-defining song for Burna Boy. It’s the hit record that came bearing the good fortune needed to bring global attention to the unmatchable talent we knew he possessed.
‘Ojuelegba,’ on the other hand, is a genre-defining song for Afrobeats. It’s the song through which Wizkid brought global attention to a sound, movement, and cultural group.
Both songs are invaluable in the career of both artists but ‘Ojuelegba’ is far more important to Afrobeats’ global exploit as a soundscape and cultural collective.

Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.

✍️Chris Brown has the talent for his Thriller. The BROWN era, for all its frustrations, contained the raw material of it. However, The Chocolate Edition is the most concerning thing I have written about an artist I have spent years defending.

✍️@ToneStith pours so much discipline into his debut that by the end of it, you don’t just admire the craft.

A government that reacts faster to criticism than to the killing of its citizens has lost its purpose.

You have a right to be foolish, I wouldn’t judge you for that. I have been foolish long enough to learn not to condemn the fool. But you have no right to be evil, and to support a continuation of Nigeria in its current form, is to be complicit in the evil that it is..
