## The EP Is Finally Here
BNXN has officially released his highly anticipated EP, Still In Charge, on October 1, 2026. The Nigerian singer and songwriter announced the project just days before its release, and fans have been buzzing ever since. The EP arrived on Nigeria's Independence Day, a fitting date for an artist reaffirming his place in the music scene.
The six-track project runs for roughly 16 minutes and is distributed through T.Y.E. and EMPIRE. It marks another solid addition to BNXN's productive 2026 run.

## Asake and FOLA Join the Party
The EP features two guest artists: Asake and FOLA. Both collaborations bring something different to the table.
Asake appears on the opening track, "Eja Meja," which was released as a single back in July 2026. The song had fans hyped long before the EP dropped, with many calling the pairing "overdue" and praising the chemistry between the two artists.
FOLA features on "Shamaya," one of the EP's standout tracks. The collaboration adds a fresh vibe to the project, showing BNXN's ability to blend different sounds.

The full tracklist is:

  • Eja Meja (feat. Asake)
  • Online
  • 16
  • Deliberate Work
  • Shamaya (feat. FOLA)
  • If You Like Four of the six tracks are solo BNXN cuts, showing he can hold his own without leaning too heavily on features.

## What Fans Are Saying
The reaction online has been loud. On X (formerly Twitter), fans celebrated the Asake collaboration, with one user writing, "I knew whatever you both were cooking was gonna be a blast".
The solo track "Online" has also been a talking point. Fans are calling it one of BNXN's strongest tracks this year, with the chorus getting singled out for how quickly it sticks in your head.
The EP debuted at No. 2 on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums Chart, a strong showing that reflects the warm reception from listeners.
Critics have noted that the project balances "party-ready bangers and reflective snapshots," showing BNXN comfortable in his current artistic space.

## Why It Matters
Still In Charge is more than just another release. It is BNXN's way of reminding everyone that he is not going anywhere. The title is a quiet flex, and the music backs it up.
With Asake and FOLA on board, BNXN shows he can collaborate with both established stars and rising talents without losing his own voice. The EP is compact, melodic, and confident — exactly what fans have come to expect from him.
If you have not listened yet, all six tracks are streaming now on all major platforms.
