Popular Afrobeats artist, Orezi, has finally broken his silence on why he’s been missing from the Nigerian music scene in recent years. Known for his hit track Ogede, the singer opened up during a candid interview on Hip TV’s Trending, where he reflected on the personal decisions that led to his fade from the limelight. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Orezi revealed that a drop in ambition and a taste for comfort contributed significantly to his slowdown. According to him, the hunger that once drove his rise to fame gradually fizzled out as he prioritized enjoyment over career progression.

“I lost my competitive edge. I got too comfortable, always on vacation and enjoying life. That fire, that ambition—it just wasn’t there anymore. And once you step out of the race, it’s hard to keep up,” he admitted.

The Shoki hitmaker also highlighted how crucial consistency and competitiveness are in sustaining a music career, drawing comparisons to Afrobeats superstar Davido. Despite already securing global fame and wealth, Davido’s relentless drive continues to set him apart.

“Look at Davido—he’s already on top, but he still grinds like an up-and-comer. That hustle keeps him consistent. That’s the difference,” Orezi explained.

His honesty sheds light on a side of fame that many fans rarely see—the emotional and mental grind behind the music. It’s a reminder that beyond talent, staying relevant requires continuous effort, hunger, and resilience.

Could this revelation signal a comeback for Orezi? Fans are hoping so.

If not for beats, most Nigerian songs won't fly. Na just too much noise, no substance. The songs are even sounding the same now with this amapiano vibes in them. See Davido for example, pure noise wallahi.

Whether you like it or not, nigerian music has melody, music is not about susbatance, its what the brain reaction to hearing a sound does to you body. Fcukk substance.. if you want substsnce, make you go listen to poetry and spoken words.
