The Songs That Captured the Nation During Next Afrobeats Star Are Now Officially Available on All Streaming Platforms, with Lead Single “Gbese” Leading the Charge 

Lagos, Nigeria 

Ultima Limited, the producers of Next Afrobeats Star is proud to announce the official release of Omo Ologo, a four-track EP from Afrobeats rising star Davecash, available on all major streaming platforms from April 15, 2025. For fans of Next Afrobeats Star, Nigeria’s breakout music competition, these songs need no introduction; they are the records that made Davecash a household name. Now, by popular demand, they are formally packaged and delivered to the world. 

Throughout the run of Next Afrobeats Star, Davecash was one of the competition’s most electrifying performers finishing as First Runner-Up and winning the hearts of a fanbase that refused to stay quiet once the cameras went off. The calls for an official release were immediate and relentless. Omo Ologo is Ultima’s direct response to that demand. 

All four tracks were produced by PuffyTee, Davecash’s coach on the show and one of the sharpest sonic minds working in contemporary Afrobeats. The chemistry between artist and producer, forged under the pressure of live competition, is audible in every record. What viewers experienced on screen, listeners can now own. 

LEAD SINGLE: “GBESE” 

In Yoruba, gbese means debt and on this record, Davecash is a man fully willing to owe everything. The song is a love declaration for the reckless and the devoted: a portrait of someone so consumed by their lover that risk becomes irrelevant, and surrender feels like the only rational choice. It is tender and charged all at once, the kind of record that makes you feel both the warmth and the danger of wanting someone that deeply.

When Davecash performed “Gbese” on Next Afrobeats Star, the stage caught fire. The performance was steamy, sweet, and impossible to look away from. Every note landed, every move was intentional, and the audience gave it back tenfold. It became one of the most-talked-about moments of the entire competition season. As the official lead single, “Gbese” arrives on streaming platforms carrying all of that energy, now available for the world to feel on demand. 

Omo Ologo is not a farewell to the competition era, it is a launchpad.

“These songs belong to the fans. They were there when we made them happen on that stage, they kept asking for them, and now here we are. Omo Ologo is my thank you to everyone who believed, and a promise that this is only the beginning.” 

— Davecash 

Davecash is one of those artists who does not need to be explained, he needs to be experienced. What sets him apart is the rare combination of emotional honesty and performance instinct; he can make you feel a record before you have fully processed the words. We have always known what he was capable of, and Omo Ologo is just the first page of a very long story. The ceiling for this young man is nowhere in sight.”
