Nasboi, the multi-talented artist born Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, is back to officially usher in the weekend with his vibrant new single, “Friday Night.” Hailing from Port Harcourt, Nasboi’s early inspirations, 2Face Idibia and Davido, unknowingly laid the groundwork for the dynamic artist he is today. After a background in Mechanical Engineering and a successful stint in comedy, Nasboi made the bold leap into music full-time, rapidly rising to prominence following his breakout hit “Umbrella” featuring Wande Coal.
Following the success of his debut EP, In Nasboi I Trust (I.N.I.T), the versatile artist embarked on a nationwide tour with a clear mission: to secure a Davido verse. As the tour winds down, Nasboi now toasts to the good life with “Friday Night.”
This track is pure weekend magic – a bouncy Afrobeat-meets-street-pop anthem that perfectly captures the celebratory feeling of a 5 PM clock-out on Friday. From the very first beat, it’s evident this song is dedicated to those who work hard and party even harder. Lines like “No one fit stop this my gbedu / Even NEPA no fit off my light” embody true Nigerian confidence; an unshakable vibe even if the power goes out.
With cheeky lyrics such as “Monday night for Obi’s house / Friday night for baby’s house” and “I want be a baller like Osimhen,” Nasboi channels his signature humor, infectious energy, and genuine heart into one irresistible bop.
“Friday Night” is made for rooftop parties, traffic jams that spontaneously transform into turn-ups, and every Nigerian who understands that Friday isn’t just a day – it’s a profound feeling.
Press play, turn up, and welcome to the weekend.
“Friday Night” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
