A Raw Story of Betrayal, Growth & Gratitude
Abuja’s fast-rising Afrobeats star Boylikevilla is back with another street anthem — “Alaye,” dropped October 10th on all streaming platforms. But this one isn’t just a vibe; it’s a story with soul.
Rooted in real experiences, Alaye paints a vivid picture of betrayal, self-belief, and divine elevation. The song draws from a time when someone close tried to take credit for Boylikevilla’s work — a painful but defining moment. Instead of letting bitterness win, he turned that pain into purpose.
“Alaye came from a real place,” Boylikevilla says.
“It’s about turning that betrayal into motivation and just thanking God for how far I’ve come.”
The Sound: Street Energy Meets Afrobeats Groove
Alaye blends catchy Afrobeats rhythms with Boylikevilla’s signature street delivery — raw, confident, and magnetic. The record carries a bounce that feels both defiant and danceable.
The hook says it all:
“Alaye you wan steal my maye,
my nigga pass me the jay,
I wan still puff rosé.”
It’s frustration, truth, and groove rolled into one — the perfect balance between storytelling and vibe.
From the Trenches to TikTok Fame
Before Alaye, Boylikevilla had already been making noise online. With over 45,000 followers and 1 million likes on TikTok, he’s carved out a loyal fanbase that moves with him.
His viral “Abracadabra Challenge” — where fans danced in towels to his track Magician (feat. TeeBlqc+) — blew up across the internet, even offering a ₦100,000 prize to the winner. That energy translated into consistent traction on streaming platforms, where he averages 20,000+ streams per track and over 1,000 monthly listeners.
A Sound That Feels Familiar Yet Fresh
Born Elias David Birdling on October 13, 2003, and originally from Adamawa State, Boylikevilla represents the true spirit of Afrobeats — authentic, grounded, and full of emotion.
From Abuja’s trenches to the city’s vibrant urban districts, his music resonates with everyone. His sound is pure Afrobeats — smooth melodies, catchy rhythms, and lyrics that hit close to home.
He’s not just making songs; he’s building a movement.
A New Chapter with “Alaye”
With Alaye, Boylikevilla proves once again that his story is far from ordinary. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever been doubted, betrayed, or underestimated — a reminder that sometimes, pain is just preparation for something greater.
