*Switches off this Pino Pino video*
Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike’s rise to limelight and prominence in the Nigerian music scene was so rapid that it even looked scary. He released his first official single “Multiply” (which had heavyweights like Flavour, M.I, Timaya and Mr Raw in the remix) back in 2011, then Shutdown (which got a Headies Lyricist on the Roll nomination), then in 2012 came Ghost Mode! The rest as we all know is now history.
From that 2012 (together with his pal, Olamide), he shook Nigerian hiphop like never before, he produced hits on hits on hits, he gave many upcoming acts the reason to believe and he made everyone believe that indeed “local can pay”. With his Mohawk, funny style of dressing, dope lyrics, street cred and generally Hus eccentric self, he stole the heart of every one — young & old, rich and poor, boys and girls, man and animals.
Oya, fast forward to 2016 and that Phyno seems changed, different and long gone. He now sings, cuddle girls on music videos, tries to dance (he’s awful at it you know, lol) and…seemingly hates rapping. That’s the “new” Phyno.
I’m not saying it’s a crime to do all that, neither am I saying that it is a malfeasance for a rapper to be singing (after all “Connect” and “Fada Fada” are chart toppers) but that’s just how much our dear Phyno has changed. Got me thinking if he’s joined APC recently, lol.
But do we miss him? Oh yes, very. So here’s 11 things we miss about Phyno nowadays, 11 reasons why you should miss the “old” Phyno.


1. No one rocks them Mohawk better
Awww…those mohawks.
Apart from his amazing rap talent, one of the things that endeared Phyno to us was that Mohawk. The thing was huge, big and curvy in very foxy way. It wasn’t his naturally hair, obviously.
It’s not like Phyno have always had the Mohawk hairstyle, nope. It all started in the Illbliss’ “Anamachikwanu” video shoot. The director, Clarence Peters, told him to wear the Mohawk look so that he will look more gangster-ish, rugged-ish and befitting for his persona in the video. He adopted the hairstyle, the video clicked and he stuck with it. In fact, that Mohawk was one of the things that gave Phyno his distinct identity bin the industry that made him charm everyone. Show me, just show me one person that didn’t love it then? No one.
Oya fast forward to 2016 and them Mohawk is no more. Gone. Is it gone forever? Me can’t tell o. But do we miss them Mohawk? Oh yes we do.
