Pan-African Smoke

South Africa is in the streets - mobs, machetes, students being chased out of schools, two Nigerians dead...and Nigerian artists are nowhere to be found. We open with the full timeline of the xenophobic attacks, the political response on both sides, and the question that keeps going unanswered: where is the solidarity?

Seyi Vibez called Adekunle Gold wack on Twitter. AG posted his North American orchestra tour link and kept it moving.

We discuss. Rihanna used Ayra Starr's music in her Met Gala recap and the internet has been at war ever since, so we get into what's really up and what the July timeline actually tells you about who's playing chess here.

We close on Burna Boy and Shakira as the official FIFA 2026 World Cup song and what it means that Nigerian music is the global soundtrack of a tournament Nigeria didn't qualify for. Put You On features Ema Onigah, Roju, Makinde, and Tay Iwar
