 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Note that many sources were provided in the previous AfD discussion for this article.
 * Delete: no hit song, zero semi-notable nomination or award. The case of GNG is subjective and should not be considered here. There is nothing noteworthy about this artiste in the Nigerian music industry. Darreg (talk) 13:17, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Aside the dead links, I have gone through the references. I also watched the viral BBC documentary when it was aired. If the BBC documentary happened last year, I would have voted keep, because I could argue that there would have been a strong chance of him having a decent musical career and getting sig routine coverage. But it was was seven years ago! Yet no new significant coverage in RS that isn't overly based in the 2010 incident. WP:ONEEVENT and WP:10YT applies. I ask myself, Q1: What is his occupation? A: Musician. Q2: Does he pass WP:MUSICBIO? A: No. For his birthname to still be his WP:COMMONNAME tells you so much about his musical career. My vote remains unchanged. Except someone wants to say that winning the "Google Africa Connected" award confers notability. Darreg (talk) 10:57, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:MUSICBIO and no detailed coverage of life or work in WP:RS Ammarpad (talk) 14:33, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
