    Ajofé drops “Serere” remix featuring Magnito

    Promising Nigerian artist, Ajofé, has released the highly anticipated remix of his breakout single “Serere,” featuring rap sensation Magnito. The remix, which dropped today, May 23, 2025, is now available across all major streaming platforms along with an official music video.

    Distributed under Hustle 360 LTD, Serere (Remix) blends Ajofé’s signature baritone vocals and Amapiano-rooted street-hop with Magnito’s clever wordplay and street-savvy charisma. The result is a high-energy anthem that retains the gritty soul of the original track while introducing a fresh lyrical twist and even broader appeal.

    Ajofé has continued to carve a unique space in the ever-evolving Afrobeats soundscape. Famed for his genre-blending artistry, the Nigerian-American artist fuses elements of hip-hop, Afrobeat, and South African Amapiano to deliver music that is raw, reflective, and rhythmically engaging.

    The original Serere track, which introduced audiences to his bold Yoruba street lingo and baritone-driven delivery, quickly gained traction across digital platforms, radio, and social media. It peaked at No. 47 on Apple Music Top 100 Ghana, charted on Boomplay Nigeria Daily, and maintained strong rotation on radio stations such as Beat FM Abuja and Beat 99.9 FM Lagos, where it held top 15 placements for weeks.

    It also earned impressive engagement across platforms like Shazam, where it ranked on the Buffalo Top 50, and TikTok, where over 12,000 videos were created using the song’s sound. Ajofé’s earlier release, Dirty December, topped the Spotify South Africa Chart, further cementing his growing continental reach.

    With today’s remix release, Ajofé aims to amplify that momentum. Speaking about the collaboration, he described the remix as “a street-certified banger elevated by Magnito’s brilliance.”

    Magnito, known for his vivid storytelling and humorous punchlines, complements Ajofé’s gritty tone with lines that bring both swagger and relatability, appealing to fans of mainstream rap and street-hop alike.

    Already featured on major Boomplay and Audiomack editorial playlists — including Africa’s Best, Naijampiano, and Afro Magic — the new release is poised to re-ignite audience attention and dominate summer playlists.
