Ayomaff, 18-year-old fast-rising singer, has been making waves in the Nigerian music scene. Set to perform as a special opening act for Asake at the highly anticipated O2 Arena show in London, Ayomaff is quickly becoming a name to watch.
Asake, known for his chart-topping songs, will be headlining O2 arena for his studio album ‘Lungu Boy’ the second time and it will take place on Saturday, September 21.
With his unique sound and undeniable talent, Ayomaff’s rise to fame has been nothing short of impressive. The opportunity to perform alongside Asake, one of Afrobeats’ biggest stars, marks a significant milestone in his budding career.
As Afrobeats continues to gain global popularity, Ayomaff is among the new wave of artists set to elevate Nigerian music even further. His talent, dedication, and passion for music show that he’s just starting what could be a long and successful career.
Born Ayomide Mafoluku Ayodele, his frequent mix of English and Yoruba languages in his lyrics has made him a stand-out act for Nigerians and fans abroad.
At just 18, Ayomaff has already shown great promise. His music features smooth vocals and catchy beats, exploring themes of love, life, and self-discovery, which resonate with a wide audience. He has consistently released singles that have attracted both fans and industry attention, and his upcoming performance at the O2 Arena is expected to be a significant breakthrough for him.
Ayomaff was discovered by Olaitan Salaudeen, an experienced music promoter who recognized his talent and supported him like a big brother. Olaitan helped introduce Ayomaff to audiences who appreciated his music.
Ayomaff started singing at a young age, aiming to improve himself and share his music with as many people as possible, making it relatable for both young and old.
He gained popularity with his 2023 track “Jama Jama,” which received positive reviews on social media and strong recommendations on streaming platforms, especially Shazam and Apple Music. In early 2024, he released two new songs, “7 Days” and “Street Anthem,” both of which have been well-received by the public.
“7 Days” addresses his struggles with police brutality in Nigeria, while “Street Anthem” is a dance track for those working hard. In a live Instagram video, Ayomaff mentioned that “7 Days” will have a remix featuring an undisclosed British rapper, and fans are eager to find out who it will be.
In May 2024, Fireboy recognized Ayomaff’s song “7 Days” and invited him to collaborate. Together, they released a track called “Dealer,” with Fireboy supporting Ayomaff by funding the music video and contributing a verse.
“Dealer” explores the challenges faced by young people. Recently, Davido praised the song on Twitter, expressing his love for it and mentioning that he couldn’t stop listening to it. This endorsement significantly boosted the song’s streaming numbers.

Although Ayomaff is signed to no music record label, CEO of YBNL and rapper Olamide Badoo endorses his songs, speculating that the ‘Stupid love’ record breaker had signed him.
His upcoming performance at O2 arena show is a great opportunity for Ayomaff as he will showcase on an international stage, where his music will reach thousands of new listeners.
The O2 Arena in London is one of the most famous venues in the world, having hosted stars like Beyoncé, Drake, and Adele.
