The entertainment scene delivered another packed weekend, with major music releases, live performances and big announcements keeping audiences tuned in.
From 2Baba’s 51st birthday celebration to Davido’s announcement of a major Lagos residency, the weekend provided plenty of talking points. Meanwhile, Fola continued to strengthen his live-performance profile with a standout appearance at the Island Block Party.
First, 2Baba marked his 51st birthday in style with the release of his new single, “Mental,” featuring Fave.
The veteran singer released the track on Friday, September 18, ahead of his birthday celebration on Saturday. According to reports, the celebration included a dinner, an album listening party and the launch of 2Baba Jollof in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The release also gave fans another opportunity to connect with one of Nigeria’s most established voices as he entered another year with fresh music.
Elsewhere, Fola took centre stage at the Island Block Party in Lekki Phase 1 on Friday, September 18.
The singer performed songs including “Lost,” “You,” “Eko,” and “B4B4” at the R&B-themed event. Kunmi also performed, while hype man Ayosantoz helped drive the live atmosphere.
Consequently, the event added another strong live-performance moment to Fola’s growing run on the Lagos entertainment circuit.
Meanwhile, Davido shifted the conversation towards December with the announcement of “Oriadè: The Residency.”
The singer will headline a three-night run at the National Theatre in Lagos from December 17 to 19, 2026. The residency will also mark the Nigerian live presentation of his latest album, Oriadé, which arrived in July.
For Lagos music audiences, the announcement adds another major concert date to an already busy entertainment calendar
Davido announced a three-night Lagos residency at the National Theatre for December 2026
Across the weekend, music fans had several reasons to keep the conversation moving. 2Baba’s new release introduced a fresh musical moment, while Davido’s residency announcement immediately placed December on the concert calendar.
At the same time, Fola’s live appearance reinforced growing interest in intimate, genre-focused live music experiences in Lagos.
More importantly, these moments show how Nigerian entertainment continues to move across multiple platforms.
Music releases now compete with live experiences, digital announcements and audience conversations for attention. As a result, artists increasingly use a combination of recorded music and live performances to maintain visibility and deepen their connection with listeners.
For now, attention turns to Davido’s December residency, while fans can also expect more activity around the latest releases from leading Nigerian artists.
