Grammy-nominated Nigerian hitmaker BNXN has teamed up with Afrobeats superstar Asake for their highly anticipated first-ever collaboration, “Eja Meja.” The new single serves as the opening track from BNXN’s upcoming six-track EP, Still in Charge (Out on 24th September 2026), marking the beginning of a new chapter for the acclaimed singer-songwriter.
The collaboration brings together two of Afrobeats’ most celebrated voices on a vibrant anthem centered around gratitude, perseverance, and celebrating the rewards that come from hard work. “Eja Meja” marks the first official release featuring both artists on the same record, creating a highly anticipated moment for fans across the world.
The track captures the unique strengths of both performers, combining BNXN’s smooth melodic approach with Asake’s energetic delivery and unmistakable vocal presence. Opening with warm, jazz-inspired saxophone before unfolding into rich percussion and hypnotic grooves, the record blends traditional African influences with a modern global sound.
Throughout the song, BNXN and Asake create a seamless musical exchange built around themes of success, resilience, and enjoying life’s victories. The infectious hooks and layered instrumentation reflect the celebratory spirit that has helped push Afrobeats onto the global stage, while maintaining the emotional storytelling that defines both artists’ music.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, BNXN shared: “For me, ‘Eja Meja’ is a reminder to enjoy life and stay present. We all go through challenges, but this record is about choosing joy, tuning out distractions, and appreciating the journey. It’s music that makes you feel good while carrying a deeper message.”
To accompany the release, BNXN and Asake unveiled an opulent visualizer that brings the track’s vibrant energy to life, matching its themes of celebration, ambition, and gratitude.
“Eja Meja” arrives as BNXN prepares for the release of Still in Charge, a six-track EP that follows his continued rise as one of Afrobeats’ most consistent and influential voices. The project promises to showcase his signature blend of melody, storytelling, and genre-bending creativity.
The release continues BNXN’s remarkable global momentum. Fresh off the success of his collaborative EP The Game Needs Us with legendary producer Sarz, which debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart, BNXN has continued to expand his international presence. His hit single “Back Outside” reached No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 Songs chart and has surpassed 105 million streams worldwide, contributing to his career total of more than 4 billion streams.
For Asake, “Eja Meja” further reinforces his position as one of Afrobeats’ most influential global ambassadors. Through his innovative fusion of Afropop, fújì, and amapiano, alongside his record-breaking releases and international performances, Asake has helped redefine the sound and reach of contemporary African music.
With “Eja Meja” opening the rollout for Still in Charge, BNXN and Asake deliver a powerful collaboration that celebrates culture, creativity, and the unstoppable global movement of Afrobeats. The single stands as both a celebration of their individual journeys and a preview of the exciting new era ahead for BNXN.
