ZEXZY DROPS CROSS-CULTURAL HIT “SIDANPONI” MARCH 28 & GEARS UP FOR MAJOR AWARDS SHOW PERFORMANCE
Breakout Nigerian Artist to Perform at the East Africa Entertainment Awards on April 6
With a massive collaboration alongside hip-hop superstar Quavo, 35 million streams across Spotify and YouTube, and a chart-topping single on Apple Music East Africa, rising Nigerian sensation ZeXzy is solidifying his place as one of Africa’s most exciting emerging artists.
Hailing from Benin City, Nigeria, ZeXzy is a musical chameleon, seamlessly blending Afrobeats, pop, R&B, soul, reggaeton and Caribbean influences into his unique sound. But his journey to stardom has not been without struggle. Overcoming a devastating loss of voice and personal challenges, ZeXzy has reemerged stronger than ever with his latest single, “Sidanponi”—a life-affirming, sultry anthem packed with catchy summer melodies and seductive lyrics.
“To put it simply, the song is sexy—it’s about a girl turning a guy on, and he’s asking her to ‘sit down on it’ (Sidanponi) and keep him company,” ZeXzy explains.
Defying genre conventions, “Sidanponi” merges Indian Pop, West Indies Pop, and American Pop, all while maintaining a strong Afrobeats foundation with its pidgin English lyrics. ZeXzy’s clever cross-cultural approach makes the track perfect for Bollywood soundtracks, beachside vibes, and club dance floors alike. The song’s closing refrain, “JANIMA” (Indian for ‘my love’), adds a global touch, emphasizing its universal appeal.
As ZeXzy continues his meteoric rise, he is set to take center stage at the East Africa Entertainment Awards in Nairobi, Kenya, on April 6, where he has earned nominations in four major categories:
-
Best Male Breakthrough Artist
-
Best Alternative Fusion – “Quavo’s Anthem” feat. Quavo
-
Best Afro Piano Fusion – “Amapiano” feat. Sofiya Nzau
-
Best Continental Collaboration – “Amapiano” feat. Sofiya Nzau
With an unstoppable drive and an ever-growing global fan base, ZeXzy is proving that he’s not just an artist to watch—he’s an artist here to stay.
