Davido is keeping the momentum behind his latest album Oriadé with the release of the music video for “B4 B4,” one of the standout tracks from the project.

Released on July 31, 2026, Oriadé is Davido’s sixth studio album and marks 15 years of his journey in music. The 13-track project explores themes of identity, legacy, growth and his Yoruba roots, with guest appearances from artists including Black Sherif, Aya Nakamura, Leon Thomas and Llona.

“B4 B4” brings together Davido, former DMW signee Mayorkun and rising Nigerian singer Fola, with the song reflecting on how much life has changed from their early days to where they are today.

Directed by Perliks Definition and produced by Nouvelle Films, the music video leans heavily into Yoruba culture, creating a visual that feels both traditional and contemporary.

The video opens in a sunlit courtyard surrounded by brick buildings, with women dressed in traditional indigo Adire outfits preparing food and grinding peppers with wooden mortars. Traditional drummers and dancers add to the atmosphere, immediately setting the tone for the cultural story behind the song.

The visuals later move into a grand palace setting decorated with clay walls, woven mats and colourful hanging fabrics. The setting provides the perfect backdrop for the artists, while fashion plays an important role throughout the video.

Davido appears in an oversized blue-and-white tie-dye top paired with white trousers, giving his look a relaxed but striking feel. Mayorkun, meanwhile, takes a more tailored approach, wearing a black suit layered with a textured green jacket.

Beyond the music, the video celebrates Yoruba heritage while reflecting the themes of growth and gratitude at the heart of “B4 B4.” The combination of traditional settings, cultural details and contemporary fashion gives the visual its own distinct identity.

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu gave viewers another fashion moment during Sunday night’s BBNaija Season 11 live eviction show, stepping out in a striking black-and-white look that played with proportions, layering and unexpected accessories.

For the second live show of the season on August 9, the BBNaija host wore a custom creation by Nigerian designer Atafo, putting a contemporary spin on classic menswear.

The look began with a crisp white button-down shirt featuring exaggerated French cuffs, layered underneath a boxy, short-sleeved black button-up shirt. Instead of the traditional tailored trousers, Ebuka opted for wide-leg cropped trousers that fell below the knee, giving the outfit a relaxed but deliberately structured silhouette.

He completed the monochrome look with white crew socks and black leather loafers, while a black beret and thick black-framed glasses added a slightly retro touch.

But, as expected with an Ebuka look, the accessories were just as important as the clothes.

A slim black tie was layered underneath a multi-strand pearl necklace, bringing an unexpected touch of jewellery to the otherwise structured menswear look. He also carried a Louis Vuitton Keepall in Monogram Eclipse canvas, adding a luxury finish to the outfit.

What makes the look stand out is the way the proportions work together. The more structured upper half is balanced by the relaxed, wide-leg trousers, while the cropped length allows the socks and loafers to become part of the styling rather than an afterthought.

The pearls are another detail worth noting. Wearing them over a tie gives traditional tailoring a more fashion-forward feel without taking away from the sharpness of the outfit.

Ebuka has long made fashion part of the BBNaija live show experience, and this latest look continues that tradition. His eviction-night outfits have become something viewers look forward to almost as much as the drama inside the house.

For this appearance, Atafo and Ebuka kept things relatively restrained in colour but pushed the look through silhouette, layering and accessories. The result is a modern black-and-white outfit that feels relaxed, polished and unmistakably Ebuka.

And if there is one thing this look proves, it is that black and white does not have to be boring. With the right proportions and a few unexpected details, even classic menswear can make a statement

Lagos luxury concept store Alára has earned another major international recognition after being named one of the Best Fashion Stores in the World by The Business of Fashion (BoF).

The newly released guide features 65 independent retailers from around the world that are changing the way people experience luxury shopping. Instead of focusing on the size of a business or its revenue, the list celebrates stores with a strong identity, thoughtful curation and a clear point of view.

For Alára, the recognition is another reflection of the work it has done over the years to bring African creativity and design to a global audience.

Founded by Reni Folawiyo, Alára opened in Lagos with the idea of creating a space where fashion, art, design and culture could come together. The store has since become known for its carefully selected mix of international luxury brands and leading African designers, giving customers a shopping experience that feels both global and distinctly connected to the continent.

But Alára has always been about more than what is displayed on its shelves.

Located in Lagos, the store has grown into a destination for fashion and culture, with exhibitions, creative collaborations and initiatives that support African designers and artists. Its distinctive building, designed by renowned architect Sir David Adjaye, has also become an important part of its identity.

Its inclusion in BoF’s list places Alára alongside some of the most notable independent fashion retailers around the world and further highlights Lagos’ growing reputation as a city with a strong influence on fashion, luxury and creative culture.

The recognition also comes at a time when the fashion industry is paying greater attention to destinations outside the traditional luxury capitals. Cities such as Lagos are increasingly becoming part of the global fashion conversation, offering different perspectives, local talent and experiences that cannot simply be replicated elsewhere.

Alára has been part of that shift for years. Through its platform, the store has continued to introduce international audiences to African design while creating a retail environment that feels deeply rooted in Lagos.

For Nigeria’s fashion industry, the recognition is another proud moment. It shows that homegrown businesses can build world-class retail experiences and compete on the same stage as established fashion destinations across Europe, North America and beyond.

As interest in African fashion and creativity continues to grow internationally, Alára’s latest achievement is a testament to the vision behind the brand and the increasing global appreciation for Africa’s creative industry.
