Nigerian Afro-fusion star BNXN is officially kicking off his 2026 music calendar. The singer, formerly known as Buju, has announced that his BNXN first single 2026 drops today at 5PM local time, sending fans into a frenzy across social media platforms.
The BNXN first single 2026 release marks his first solo output following his critically acclaimed album Captain, which dropped in March 2026. That album saw the singer taking full creative control, blending Afrobeats, R&B, and soulful introspection into a cohesive body of work.
While details about the new track remain limited, the singer teased the release earlier this week via his Instagram page, posting the artwork and confirming the 5PM drop time. Fans are already predicting another global hit reminiscent of his Captain album success.

Prior to Captain, BNXN collaborated with FOLA on “Very Soon” in January 2026, a melodic anthem blending raw emotion with ambition . He also featured on EMO Grae’s “Your Type (Acoustic)” in February 2026.
With his first solo single of the year arriving tonight, BNXN appears poised for another strong run in 2026. The 28-year-old singer continues to blur genre lines, and fans won’t have to wait long to hear what he’s been working on.
