Nigerian music artist Cletus Omodia, popularly known as Cletus Gray, has announced the release of his spiritually inspired track “Altar”, one of the standout songs from his latest album, Strange Voice.
Hailing from Igbanke in Edo State, Cletus Gray describes Altar as a song rooted in deep spiritual symbolism. According to him, an altar represents a place of covenant—one that can either be godly or ungodly. He explains that while godly altars serve as sacred places where believers communicate with God, satanic altars are places where those who do not trust in God seek power.
Cletus Gray believes the message in Altar carries divine strength, offering hope and spiritual liberation. “The Godly altar breaks every curse—upon you, your family, and everything connected to you—as you listen to this song,” he said.
Fans are encouraged to follow @CletusGray on all social media platforms and stream the full Strange Voice album on all major music platforms.

A Nigerian short film is making significant waves on the international film scene. “Tears for Enebi”—a 16-minute film portraying the real-life ordeal of Enebi Annah, a celebrated beauty queen and poet—tells the harrowing story of how her life is upended when her trusted mentor and confidant rapes her. The deepest betrayal, however, is revealed in a shocking twist: the perpetrator also leads Africa’s most prominent anti-rape organization.
Since its debut, the film has been selected for nearly 20 film festivals worldwide, including the Independent Short Awards in Los Angeles, where it took home two major honors: Best Women Short Film and Best Actress for Rahmah Zakareeyah’s powerful lead performance. The film has also been featured at The Film Collective Film Festival in Virginia, among many others. Its most recent accolade comes with its selection for the Miami Beach Film Festival, marking it as one of the few African short films to be showcased at the prestigious event, scheduled for May 5th, 2026.
“Tears for Enebi” is produced by Godspower Oshodin, in association with Solution Media Studios, Mogson Productions, Purplemat Entertainment, and M2Net Studios. It is co-directed by Seun Manuel Faleye, Peter Atigogo, and Sunki, and features a talented cast including Foluke Daramola, Rahmah Zakareeyah, Seunmanuel Faleye, Kika Oshodin, and Aitaya Hansley.
This short film forms part of a larger series of advocacy-driven stories from Godspower Oshodin, which also includes upcoming projects such as “With Last Debt” and “I Don’t Blame You.” These films are slated for release later this year and are currently screening at festivals across America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Rahmah Zakareeyah, the internationally recognized award-winning actress who plays Enebi Annah, said: “It is a breath of fresh air to be part of this journey. I always look for ways to contribute to societal sanity. Rape is highly condemnable, and I did my best to embody Enebi’s character with all the respect and empathy she deserves.”
Veteran Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola, who made a guest appearance, shared: “When Dr. Oshodin invited me to be part of his anti-rape film ‘Tears for Enebi’, it was an immediate yes. Advocating against rape and abuse has been my passion since I was a young girl—it’s why I founded Passion Against Rape and Abuse in Africa (PARA Africa). ‘Tears for Enebi’ is a powerful story that directly addresses these urgent issues—and what makes it even more profound is that it is based on a true story.”

Nigerian singer and songwriter Gabriel Omavoran Williams, professionally known as KiNg TeMi, releases his new single “Amala Meji,” a socially reflective Afro-soul and Afrobeats record that examines themes of inequality, greed, and the emotional cost of silence in the face of imbalance.
Built on metaphor and repetition, Amala Meji tells a universal story: many people rely on a figure meant to protect and provide, only for that figure to become self-serving and disconnected. Through chant-driven hooks, indigenous expressions, and street-rooted lyricism, the song asks what happens when shared resources are controlled by a few while others are left to endure quietly.
Rather than adopting an aggressive or overtly political tone, Amala Meji speaks with restraint and emotional clarity. Its power lies in its relatability, capturing the quiet frustration of people who recognize injustice but feel unable to challenge it openly.
Commenting on the inspiration behind the record, KiNg TeMi says:
“This song comes from observation and feeling. It’s about moments when things don’t feel fair, but people are expected to stay silent. Amala Meji isn’t about attacking anyone; it’s about expressing a reality many people live with every day.”
KiNg TeMi’s sound reflects a rich blend of soulful melodies and Afrobeats, shaped by contemporary influences and deep musical heritage. His artistic foundation draws from classic Nigerian music, including Juju legends I.K. Dairo, King Sunny Ade, and Dele Abiodun, as well as the revolutionary work of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, sounds he absorbed early through his late father’s stereo.
Although his musical journey formally began in high school, KiNg TeMi’s connection to music goes beyond passion or profession. Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, with roots in Delta State, his early influences included Hip-hop artists like Junior and Pretty, particularly their hit “Monica.” Music has always been an intrinsic part of his life, a connection that shapes his approach to storytelling, sound, and expression.
Amala Meji is now available on digital platforms, including TikTok, where listeners are encouraged to use the sound to share personal stories, emotions, and reflections on everyday imbalance. The song’s relatable themes and unique blend of Afro-soul and street-rooted lyricism position it as more than just music, it’s a potential shared emotional language for listeners.
“Amala Meji” is available today on all major streaming platforms worldwide.
As the Recording Academy honors Fela Anikulapo Kuti with a historic Lifetime Achievement Award, global attention has once again turned to the Kuti family, not only for legacy, but for the individuals actively shaping Afrobeat’s modern presence. On Saturday night at the Grammys Special Merit Awards, Fela Kuti was honored alongside music icons Chaka Khan, Cher, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, and Whitney Houston, placing Afrobeat firmly within the canon of global music history. The honour was presented by the Recording Academy in Los Angeles, with his children, Yeni, Femi, Kunle, and Shalewa Kuti, accepting the award on his behalf, celebrating his lasting Afrobeat legacy. One name drawing renewed interest amid this moment is Shalewa Kuti.
We’re so proud, this is for Africa. I’m so honoured to be his daughter. This honour reminds us that although his voice was often resisted, it was never silenced. The award is a celebration of his courage, his art, and his unwavering commitment to freedom and dignity,” Shalewa Kuti said.
Shalewa Kuti, born Omosalewa Anikulapo-Kuti, is far from a background figure in Afrobeat history. She is a DJ, music producer, creative entrepreneur, and studied law, known in music circles as DJ Shaarks. Her work places her at the intersection of Afrobeat’s roots and its contemporary global evolution, a position that has become especially relevant as the Grammys spotlight Afrobeat’s origins.
Unlike the performance-led paths of some of her siblings, Shalewa carved her own lane behind the scenes and on the turntables. She studied Mass Communication at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic before going on to study law at the University of Lagos. Her academic background reflects a deliberate blend of media, communication, and legal knowledge, tools that later informed her approach to music, culture, and creative business.
Her career spans DJ culture, music production, and event curation, with a clear focus on Afrobeat-inspired sounds and cross-border collaborations. Under her imprint Shaarks Music, she has released and promoted projects that connect Afrobeat’s foundational sound with contemporary African club culture, including collaborations with South African artists and DJs.
Shalewa Kuti has also played a direct role in expanding Afrobeat’s global footprint through her involvement with Felabration, the annual celebration of Fela’s life, music, and political legacy. In 2019, she organized Felabration UK, helping take the festival beyond Nigeria and introducing Afrobeat’s history to new international audiences, a move that closely mirrors the Grammys’ growing recognition of African music and its origins.
The timing of Fela Kuti’s Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award has placed renewed emphasis on Afrobeat’s origin story, especially as Afrobeats continues to dominate global charts and festivals. For many observers, Shalewa Kuti represents a bridge between these two worlds: the politically charged Afrobeat foundation created by Fela, and the modern African music ecosystem shaped by DJs, producers, and cultural curators.
In past conversations, Shalewa has acknowledged the weight of carrying the Kuti name, describing it as both a responsibility and a challenge. Yet her career choices reflect a clear intention to build credibility on her own terms, through education, technical skill, and consistent participation in the music ecosystem rather than symbolism alone.
As Grammy conversations continue to spotlight Afrobeat’s influence on global music, Shalewa Kuti’s name is increasingly surfacing as audiences look beyond the icon and toward the people actively sustaining and evolving the culture today.
With Afrobeat now formally recognized by the Recording Academy, the focus is no longer only on where the sound came from, but on who is shaping where it goes next. And in that conversation, Shalewa Kuti stands firmly in the frame.
