    No one can stop me anymore, says Humblesmith

    Nigerian Afro-Bongo sensation and songwriter Humblesmith has said that no one can stop him anymore.

    In an interview, Humblesmith opened up about the challenges he faced in the music industry, admitting that there were times when he almost disappeared from the scene entirely.

    “There were moments when I felt like I was being silenced,” he confessed. “It wasn’t just about the lack of music or releases—it was deeper. There were people and forces that wanted to see me give up. They tried to push me out, but I stayed grounded because I knew my purpose.”

    The singer went on to reflect on how those difficult times only made him stronger, building the resilience that has carried him to this triumphant return.

    “I had to go through that period to understand the power within me,” Humblesmith explained. “Now, I’m not afraid of any obstacles. I’ve seen what the lowest point looks like, and I’ve come out stronger. I’m ready to crush anything or anyone that tries to stop me again.”

    Humblesmith, who recently wrapped up a tour of some African countries while putting finishing touches on his upcoming album, has released a new single, ‘Sochi’.
