BNXN reveals artists featured on new album

Did BNXN just reveal artists featured on his new album?

The Nigerian singer BNXN posted a list of five names to his X account on September 10, 2026: Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, and Asake. He added no caption, no explanation, and no context. The post was a single image with those names on it, and it has since set off a wave of speculation that BNXN just revealed the guest features for his forthcoming album.

BNXN has not confirmed what the names represent. He has not stated that any of the five artists will appear on the project. No official tracklist has been released. But the timing of the post, coming as anticipation builds around a new album, has led many fans to conclude that the five artists are the featured guests on the record.

If that turns out to be accurate, BNXN would be assembling one of the most heavily star-studded Afrobeats projects in recent years. Three of the names, Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, are among the most commercially successful and influential Nigerian artists of their generation. The other two, Rema and Asake, represent the leading edge of the newer wave of Afrobeats stars. A project that combined all five would be a major event in the genre.

The speculation is not baseless. BNXN has a documented history of working with several of the artists he named. He and Wizkid previously collaborated on "Mood," a standout track from the deluxe edition of Wizkid's Made in Lagos album. His connection to Burna Boy runs deeper. BNXN was previously signed to Burna Boy's Spaceship Records, and the two have worked together on songs including the "Kilometre Remix." BNXN has also collaborated with Asake in the past, so another joint effort between the two would not be surprising.

The presence of Davido and Rema on the list has generated the most discussion, as there is no publicly documented recent collaboration between BNXN and either artist. That does not rule out a future collaboration, but it does mean the speculation around those two names rests on the single post alone.

BNXN's social media post arrived without any accompanying statement. He did not say whether the names were album features, playlist additions, or something else entirely. The ambiguity is the point. The post could be a casual reveal of a massive guest list, or it could be a deliberate tease designed to keep fans guessing. There is no way to tell from the post itself.

The response on social media has been immediate. Fans have spent the hours since the post went up debating the likelihood of each name appearing on the album, with the Davido and Wizkid names drawing the most attention. The idea of those two artists appearing on the same project, alongside Burna Boy, would be a rare alignment of the three biggest names in Nigerian music.

BNXN has not addressed the speculation directly. He has not posted a follow-up clarifying the meaning of the original image, nor has he confirmed or denied any of the names as features. The identities of the featured artists on his new album remain unconfirmed.

What is known is limited. BNXN has an album in the works, he posted five names to his social media, and he has prior working relationships with at least three of the five artists he named. Everything beyond that is inference.

The post itself is a single image shared without comment. Whether it is a genuine reveal or a deliberate provocation, the effect has been the same: a wave of speculation about what BNXN is planning. With no official tracklist and no confirmation from the artist, the question of who appears on the album remains open. For now, BNXN has offered five names and no answers.
