Aside from the fact that the creator of this article is currently blocked for susppected sockpuppetry, I've reviewed the article (including the references online), and there is nothing indicating that the subject is a major player in the Nigerian music scene, neither do the reliable references independently cover him in sufficient detail. One of his songs is notable to have its own Wikipedia article, but having a single notable song does not translate to the musician being notable. Fails MUSICBIO.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Essentially no significant coverage in publications that are NOT just announcements of his new single, or 'he will be playing at XYZ Hall' - type press releases. Gilded Snail (talk) 18:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Considering the fact that this is a mere WP:STUB and per WP:PAGEDECIDE and WP:NOPAGE i think this article should be allowed to remain a STUB, according to the nominator at AFD if one of his song is notable to have it own article why not leave it the way it has been merged into the current article, yet again article subject has passed some of the criterion highlighted in WP:NMUSIC - criterion 11, 8, 4, 2 atleast this is enough to ascertain notability, we should also understand that WP:BIAS is a bug and not a feature.
 * NOTE TO THE NOMINATOR: Also understand that the said artist is not only a Nigeria based artist, but was initially signed to a South African based record label which he played the role of a music producer ('Galaxy Beat') and as a singer-songwriter, hence you cannot tell us you know all the the Nigerian artist on the encyclopedia as major players, the same artist per the sources available has performed in concert in SA as well as been on radio and TV rotations.DFrasier (talk) 11:29, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A Google search of him doesn't show him being discussed in reliable sources. A mention of him in The Nation newspaper shows that he is an up and coming artist who has not establish himself in the Nigerian music industry.
