BhadBoi OML – John Bull / Shamaya

BhadBoi OML Delivers a Double Dose with “John Bull / Shamaya”

BhadBoi OML rarely does anything the conventional way, and his new two-track drop, “John Bull / Shamaya,” continues that pattern, giving fans two distinct moods packaged as a single release rather than stretching them across separate rollouts.

Born Akinyinka Kuham Oladimeji and raised in Lagos’s Mushin neighborhood, BhadBoi OML has spent the past few years building one of the more unusual profiles in Nigerian music, less through solo chart-topping singles and more through sheer volume as a featured voice. His raspy, distinctive tone has shown up on records with T.I Blaze, Blaqbonez, Lyta, and veteran Fuji star Wasiu Ayinde, making him something of a connective thread running through different corners of the industry even before this new release.

“John Bull / Shamaya” strips that formula back down to just him. Both songs lean into the raw, street-conscious Afro-fusion sound that’s defined his catalogue since his 2021 debut “Product of Adam,” emotionally direct, unpolished in the best sense, built more around feeling than studio gloss. Pairing two tracks under one release rather than issuing them separately gives listeners a fuller sense of his range in a single sitting, something his frequent guest verses rarely allow room for.

It’s a small but telling move for an artist who’s spent more time elevating other people’s records than his own. Releasing two songs at once, without a heavy promotional push, feels less like a strategic single rollout and more like BhadBoi OML simply making sure his own name gets equal attention for once.

MusicPorta says: BhadBoi OML sounds most convincing when the spotlight is entirely his, and “John Bull / Shamaya” gives him exactly that space. It’s a compact but genuine reminder of why so many artists keep calling on him in the first place.
