The body of work showcased Rybeena’s versatility and featured notable collaborations with Joeboy, Shoday, and Fuji music icon King Dr. Saheed Osupa. Its blend of contemporary Afrobeats influences and rich musical storytelling helped establish him as one of Nigeria’s most exciting emerging talents.

Now, with Mr Bee Deluxe on the way, fans are eagerly anticipating new music and fresh creative directions from the singer.

A Partnership Built for Growth

Rybeena’s decision to extend his partnership with Dapper Music & Entertainment reflects the strong working relationship both parties have built over the years.

The renewal was formalized during a signing ceremony held at the company’s Lagos headquarters, symbolizing a shared commitment to achieving even greater milestones in the future.

Since joining Dapper Music & Entertainment, Rybeena has significantly expanded his audience, strengthened his presence within Nigeria’s highly competitive music landscape, and positioned himself among the country’s most promising young artists.

The renewed agreement is expected to support a series of major projects scheduled for release in the coming months.

Dapper CEO Expresses Confidence

Speaking on the renewed partnership, Damilola “Dapper” Akinwunmi, Group CEO of Dapper Group, praised Rybeena’s growth and highlighted the company’s belief in his long-term potential.

“Rybeena has done in two years what takes most artists far longer, and this new deal is us putting real weight behind where he is headed. We are not in the business of managing names; we are in the business of building careers. With everything lined up to drop this year, the proof is about to speak for itself.”

The statement reflects Dapper’s confidence in Rybeena’s trajectory as well as the ambitious plans both parties have for the future.

Rybeena Looks Ahead

Reflecting on his journey with the company, Rybeena expressed gratitude for the support he has received while teasing fans about what lies ahead.

“People talk about what a label is when things get loud. For me, it’s simple: Dapper backed me, built with me, and I’m staying to finish what we started. This year is proof. The Mr Bee Deluxe is just the opening.”

His comments suggest that the forthcoming deluxe project may only be the beginning of a much larger rollout planned for 2026.

Dapper Group’s Growing Influence

The renewed partnership arrives at a time when Dapper Group continues to strengthen its influence within the Nigerian music industry.

The company currently accounts for approximately eight percent of Nigeria’s music market by streaming volume, generating more than one billion streams annually across its portfolio. Through Dapper Music & Entertainment’s label services and Dvpper Digital’s distribution network, the group continues to provide African artists with platforms to reach wider global audiences.

A Defining Year Ahead

With Mr Bee Deluxe set for release, a renewed partnership with one of Nigeria’s leading music companies, and several major projects already in development, Rybeena appears poised for another significant leap forward.

As anticipation continues to build, 2026 could prove to be the year that elevates the talented singer from rising star to one of the leading voices of his generation.
