BNXN & FOLA’s Very Soon Makes Explosive Debut at No. 9 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Chart

A heartfelt anthem of hope and resilience is making waves around the world.

Very Soon, the powerful collaboration between BNXN (formerly Buju) and fast-rising sensation FOLA, has officially debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart, cementing its place as one of the most impactful new releases out of Nigeria this year.

The track, a slow-burning yet emotionally charged tune, blends BNXN’s signature soulful delivery with FOLA’s poignant voice and raw lyricism. Together, the duo delivers a stirring message about perseverance, trust in divine timing, and the unwavering belief that success – in life, in love, in dreams – is on the horizon.

Notably, BNXN is no stranger to the global Afrobeats scene, with multiple charting singles, standout collaborations, and an unmistakable sound that fuses soul, reggae, and Afrofusion. On Very Soon, he brings wisdom and depth, reflecting a maturing voice that still remembers the hustle.

Enter FOLA, the breakout newcomer whose sincerity and storytelling are already earning him a loyal fan base. Very Soon is more than a feature for FOLA – it’s a coming-of-age moment. A co-sign from a heavyweight. And now, a Billboard-charting success.

With Nigerian music continuing its unstoppable rise across global charts, Very Soon is further proof of how deeply the genre connects with people. Its gospel-tinged tone, mellow production, and introspective lyrics resonate far beyond the dancefloor – it’s music for the soul, for the journey.

Debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart marks a significant achievement for both artists, particularly FOLA, for whom this represents his first entry into the Billboard ecosystem.
