Bhadboi OML Biography: Age, Real Name, Career Timeline and Songs
Bhadboi OML is a Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter whose 2025 single “Wasiu Ayinde” was named Nigeria’s top Song of the Summer by TikTok, a recognition that pushed him beyond the Lagos street-pop blog circuit where he had built his early following.
Born Akinyinka Kuham Oladimeji, he has released a steady run of independently distributed EPs and singles since 2021, gradually shifting from Afrobeat-influenced street records to a sound that blends Yoruba Fuji rhythms with contemporary Afropop production. As of September 23, 2026, he is 26 years old.

Career
Bhadboi OML began releasing music in 2021, starting with the single “Product of Adam,” which drew attention on Nigerian streaming platforms and blogs. He followed it with further singles, including “Goodness” and a collaboration with Superwozzy titled “My Party,” while developing a style that mixed Afrobeat’s rhythmic foundations with modern Afropop production, according to AllMusic.
In 2023, he released his debut extended play, “Bhadriyun,” a seven-track project distributed through Dvpper Music that included the breakout single “Shkran Lak.” Streaming and label credits for his later projects list his releases as issued by Dapper Music & Entertainment under an exclusive license to Dvpper Digital Ltd.
He expanded his catalogue in 2025 with two related projects: a six-track EP titled “Bhad Boi,” released on January 17, and a sixteen-track “Bhad Boi (Deluxe)” edition released on May 23. The deluxe edition included “Wasiu Ayinde,” a song named after Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde (Kwam 1) that combined contemporary pop with traditional Yoruba Fuji influences. In October 2025, TikTok’s Nigeria office named “Wasiu Ayinde” the platform’s number one Nigeria Song of the Summer for 2025, a list that also featured tracks by Davido, Olamide and Rybeena, according to Premium Times and TikTok’s own newsroom.
He released a further EP, “Kaizen,” on November 7, 2025, days after the TikTok announcement. He described the project, whose title he said referenced the Japanese concept of continuous improvement, as reflecting “modern Nigerian youth culture,” according to a statement he gave to TheCable Lifestyle.
In 2026, he continued to build his catalogue mainly through collaborations. On March 21, he released “No Wam” with Afrobeats singer Skiibii Mayana, a street-pop record built around the South-South Nigerian slang phrase for “no problem,” as reported by The Guardian Nigeria. On April 10, he featured on Italy-based Nigerian singer Modola’s single “Kupe,” which held the number one spot on Nigeria’s radio airplay chart for four consecutive weeks that April, according to Leadership Nigeria, and which also generated a TikTok dance trend, the #KupeBottleChallenge.
