Shaiboy is not slowing down. With every release, the Nigerian-American artist keeps proving that he’s more than a moment—he’s a movement in motion, steadily carving his place in the ever-evolving Afrobeats scene.
His latest offering, Ole, is yet another testament to his growing influence. The infectious track recently climbed to No. 9 on the Nigeria Top 200 chart on Shazam and earned a spot on Apple Music’s Top Risers playlist, confirming what fans already knew—Shaiboy knows how to deliver hits that stick.
Released in April 2025, Ole showcases his unique ability to blend rhythm, romance, and cultural essence into a sound that’s both fresh and universally appealing. It’s a feel-good anthem with replay value, fit for late-night drives, dance floors, and viral social media moments.
Far from a one-hit wonder, Shaiboy—real name Dr. Yaya Edamivoh—first made waves with Capital G.O.D, a more introspective debut featuring Jumabee. That February release showed depth and lyrical prowess. But Ole proves he’s just as comfortable leaning into the playful, flirty, and rhythm-heavy vibe that fans of Afrobeats crave.
His versatility is unmistakable. Whether it’s the depth of Capital G.O.D or the swagger of Ole, Shaiboy is building a catalogue that feels deliberate and diverse. He’s not chasing trends—he’s setting his own pace.
Rooted in the sounds of Fela Kuti, D’Banj, and Davido, his music draws on both English and Nigerian dialects, creating a hybrid sonic identity that reflects his Arizona base and Edo heritage. The result? Music that feels personal yet global.
What sets Shaiboy apart isn’t just the music—it’s the mission. A licensed pharmacist and a vocal advocate for albinism awareness, he’s using his platform to inspire and inform, bridging entertainment with impact.
With momentum on his side and an expanding fanbase across continents, Shaiboy is entering a golden chapter of his career. Ole may be the current hit, but if his trajectory is anything to go by, the best of Shaiboy is still on the way.
