Renowned Nigerian media personality Adesope Olajide, popularly known as Shopsydoo or the Energy Gawd, is heading to Uganda for the official release of Bebe Cool’s much-anticipated album Break The Chains.
The launch event is scheduled for Thursday, May 29th at Noni Vie, and promises to be a landmark moment in Uganda’s music scene.
Adesope, a UK-based broadcaster, talk show host, and the voice behind The Afrobeats Podcast, has been instrumental in shaping and promoting Afrobeats culture across the globe.
His attendance is expected to elevate the event’s profile and open new doors for international exposure both for Bebe Cool and Uganda’s broader music industry.
A respected figure in African entertainment, Adesope has championed the rise of many global Afrobeats icons including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Sarkodie, and Joshua Baraka. His deep connections within the industry make his presence at the album launch particularly meaningful, paving the way for potential cultural collaborations between Ugandan and Nigerian artists.
Excitement around Break The Chains has been building, especially after the successful release of the singles “Circumference” and “Motivation,” which showcased a fresh Afrobeats-inspired sound from Bebe Cool.
The project marks a bold step in a new artistic direction for the Ugandan star.
Adesope’s influence stretches far beyond the mic. Since launching his career in 2003, he has been a consistent force in amplifying African music on the global stage. In recognition of his contributions, he was named one of Africa’s 100 Most Impactful Individuals by Ranks Africa.
His weekly show, The Afrobeats Podcast, has hosted some of the continent’s brightest stars including CKay, Rema, Don Jazzy, Yemi Alade, Fireboy DML, and of course, Bebe Cool.
Celebrated by fans and industry peers alike, Wizkid once dubbed him the “Afrobeats CNN,” acknowledging his relentless efforts to broadcast African culture worldwide.
With Adesope in attendance, the Break The Chains album launch is shaping up to be more than just a music event it’s a cultural milestone poised to bridge musical worlds.
