Boy Muller has released a new single, “Gbẹ̀wá,” which uses humour and everyday street language to address the pressures of earning a living amid rising costs.
The Nigerian street-pop artist is among a new generation of artists reshaping Nigeria’s street-pop scene, known for sharp observations and a conversational writing style that draws on everyday experiences. His latest release continues that approach, blending comic delivery with commentary on hardship and ambition.
“Gbẹ̀wá” follows the artist as he jokes about the relentless search for money, using exaggeration and street slang to capture pressures familiar to many young Nigerians. Behind the humour, the song reflects on long working hours, the rising cost of living, and hope for better prospects ahead.
Speaking on the single, Boy Muller said the song grew out of everyday conversations about the pursuit of a better life, and that he wanted the struggle to come through in a way that still made people smile and dance.
The single is streaming now via ONErpm.
