Nasboi is back—and he’s brought the ultimate weekend anthem with him. Born Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, the Port Harcourt-born talent has always been something of a shape-shifter: comedy, music, engineering—he’s done it all. But with every beat, he’s proving that music is where his true magic lives. Following the success of his debut EP In Nasboi I Trust (I.N.I.T) and a nationwide tour (driven by his quest to secure a Davido verse), Nasboi returns with “Friday Night,” a feel-good Afrobeat-street-pop fusion made for escape, exhale, and enjoyment.
From the jump, “Friday Night” crackles with that unmistakable TGIF energy. The production is vibrant and unpretentious, pulsing like Lagos traffic with a bottle of cold something in hand. Nasboi leans all the way into celebration, painting a picture that’s equal parts chaos and bliss—exactly how a Nigerian Friday feels.
“No one fit stop this my gbedu / Even NEPA no fit off my light”—the line isn’t just clever, it’s culturally bulletproof. Only in Nigeria can power outages coexist with parties, and Nasboi captures that defiant joy perfectly.
But it’s not just about the groove. Nasboi’s lyricism shines with wit and relatability. “Monday night for Obi’s house / Friday night for baby’s house” and “I want be a baller like Osimhen” are punchlines wrapped in melody. It’s that signature mix of street-smart humour, everyday dreams, and playful flexing that keeps the track grounded while still shooting for the stars.
“Friday Night” isn’t just a party song—it’s a declaration of freedom for every Nigerian who’s pushed through the grind all week and just wants to vibe. Whether you’re turning up at a rooftop party or dancing through traffic on 3rd Mainland Bridge, this track meets you where the celebration begins.
With this release, Nasboi proves once again that he’s more than a viral moment—he’s a voice of the people, one beat at a time.
