Like Afrobeats, Fuji is a Nigerian music genre that has remained in vogue. Singer Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, tapped into it in his recently released album Lungu Boy.
Amid Fuji's growth, a festival honouring the genre and the gatekeepers took place on Wednesday, August 21, at the Blue Roof Pavillion, LTV 8, Ikeja, Lagos.

Osupa drops Fuji Amapiano
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting Osupa started a trend in the Fuji niche industry, blending the genre with South Africa's Amapiano.
On Tuesday, June 11, Osupa announced his single, 'Fuji Amapiano' aka 'Fujipiano,' which he said was a breath of fresh air and a new idea for him.
The Fuji star dropped a video that included a snippet of the new jam but didn't include the release date.
