    In a recent interview, he said, “I feel like I have, like I already said, I’m so blessed, so like it’s not something to be surprised about, but I have like a lot of songs I haven’t put out. I can’t say I’ve put out my top 50 best songs. I have songs I’ve been working on since 2023, 2022, songs I really feel like these are songs that are going to be good. But I just like keeping them for the right time.”

    Continuing, he said, “I feel like when it’s the right time, God tell me put it out. I have projects coming really soon, in a couple of months and it’s really solid. Then after that, I have another one as well. It’s back to back, it’s back to back. It’s going.”

    GOtv Boxing Night: Mavo joins jams festival showday performance line-up

    GOtv Boxing Night Jams Festival has added fast-rising Afrobeats star Mavo to its live performance line-up, joining Afro-fusion act Showday at the event scheduled for December 26, at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

    The festival, which uniquely fuses live music with professional boxing, has grown into a fixture on Lagos’ December entertainment calendar, drawing fans of both sport and sound to one arena. This year’s edition will feature six professional boxing bouts alongside musical performances.

    Mavo has enjoyed a strong run over the past year, breaking through with his energetic, slang-heavy style and crowd-ready records such as ‘Escapade,’ ‘Shaye’ and ‘Feelings.’ His momentum has been fuelled by charting singles, growing international attention and collaborations that have helped position him as one of Afrobeats’ most exciting new voices.

The event is sponsored by GOtv, with support from MultiChoice, SuperSport, Renmoney, TheCable, Zetaweb and Lagos State Sports Commission.
