Fast-rising Nigerian rapper Oba Lurge has commended veteran Afrobeats star Iyanya for his unwavering dedication to his craft, sparking conversations across the Nigerian music scene.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) early Saturday morning, Oba Lurge commended Iyanya’s remarkable consistency and tireless work ethic.

In his post, he wrote, “You blew my mind the day we met I was about to tell you I had a studio in my hotel room downstairs only for you to open a door and there was a producer there with a complete set of equipments there & this was in a time where you weren’t active, I saw you hit the studio everyday ❤️.”

Oba Lurge, whose sophomore album Best Ever has been gaining momentum, highlighted how Iyanya’s daily commitment to music continues to motivate younger artists like himself. The rapper’s comment resonated with fans.

Iyanya, who first shot to fame with hits like “Kukere” and “Ur Waist” over a decade ago, has remained active in the ever-evolving Nigerian music landscape — releasing new music, collaborating with both emerging and established artists, and maintaining a strong presence on stage and online.

Responding to Oba Lurge’s praise, Iyanya humbly replied, “Always Working ❤️.”

Their exchange has further fueled excitement for a possible collaboration between the two artists, though neither has confirmed any plans yet.

Fans have applauded the show of mutual respect, viewing it as a refreshing reminder of the power of hard work and unity within the Nigerian music industry.
