Nigerian Afrobeats singer Minz is stirring up anticipation with “Opay,” an unreleased record that’s already built momentum through studio snippets and live performances.
The title borrows directly from Nigeria’s popular fintech platform, and Minz leans into that reference with playful, money-related wordplay throughout. So “Minz Opay” isn’t hiding behind subtlety here. It uses a name everyone recognizes to build an upbeat, street-pop foundation that stays accessible rather than clever for its own sake. That kind of direct cultural reference tends to land well with Nigerian audiences already fluent in the app’s role in everyday transactions.
Buzz around the record started building earlier this year when Minz began sharing studio previews online, then grew further after an acoustic performance on Dressed4Dmic gave fans a closer look at the song’s writing.
For a song still unofficial, “Opay” has already generated the kind of organic curiosity most artists chase through paid promotion instead.
