Your favourite musicians also have favourite musicians, and that’s why we created #MyLoop — a weekly series that asks Nigerian stars who they like to listen to when they’re feeling any type of way.
Over the past year, Oxlade’s steady transformation into an afropop mainstay has been a delight to watch. Since his standout appearance on Blaqbonez’s “Mamiwota”, he has been impossible to avoid — dropping solid singles (“Shugar”, “Legend”) and teaming up with other exciting stars.
