His performance, which featured both stripped-down renditions of his classic hits and previews of unreleased material, was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Sources at the event described the set as “soulful and sincere,” with Praiz effortlessly moving between smooth ballads and rhythmic anthems, hinting at a bold new chapter in his career.
The showcase was part of The Macallan’s launch of the Time: Space Mastery decanter, a symbol of heritage and continuity, and was attended by notable personalities including media personality Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, actress and producer Nwakaego Boyo, and Marie Claire NG fashion and beauty editor Wumi Tuase-Fosudo.
Their presence underscored the event’s status as a gathering of Lagos’s cultural tastemakers.
