Nigerian singer, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, well known as Mr Eazi, has never been shy about experimenting with sound, even with his latest release, “Corny.”
Dropped on July 18, 2025, the heartfelt ballad sees the Banku Music pioneer step fully into his feelings, offering fans a track that’s light, playful, and powerfully sincere.
And yes, it’s intentionally corny—because sometimes, love is.
When Sweet Lines Melt Swagger
The track opens with Eazi’s signature “Zagadat!” but quickly swaps bravado for boyish charm. “You sweet like baguette,” he croons, likening his lover to everything from spaghetti to delicacies of the heart. It’s more than flirtation—it’s an earnest expression of loyalty, laced with warmth and a wink.
Eazi doesn’t posture—he promises. He vows to cherish, not cheat. To show up, not switch up. Released on the eve of his birthday, “Corny” feels less like a single, and more like a love letter with a beat.
No Hype, Just Heart
In the music video, simplicity reigns. Against a serene, leafy backdrop, Mr Eazi sits casually—no gimmicks, no flashy edits, no distractions. It’s just him and the lyrics, serenading straight into the lens. That raw, unfiltered vibe mirrors the emotional honesty of the song: romantic without being overproduced, delicate without feeling staged.
Eazi’s New Era: Feel Over Flex
Known for spearheading the Banku Music wave and his past work on projects like The Evil Genius, Mr Eazi is no stranger to blending borders. But “Corny” charts new terrain—not sonic, but emotional. It’s a pivot from Afrobeats’ norm of club-bangers and coded lyrics toward something refreshingly upfront.
And in a culture that often prioritizes cool detachment, his embrace of romantic goofiness feels quietly revolutionary.
What Makes Corny Work:
Radical Simplicity: A no-frills love song with a melodic backbone.
Personal Timing: A birthday release that doubles as a self-gift and a message to fans.
Creative Courage: Owning cheese as charm in a genre that rarely allows it.
Final Word
“Corny” is Mr Eazi at his most emotionally naked. It’s not a flex. It’s not a banger. It’s not even trying to trend. And that’s what makes it powerful.
By leaning into vulnerability and wearing his heart on a short sleeve, Mr Eazi delivers something more than a song—he delivers sincerity in a culture often too cool to be real.
Because sometimes the realest love is the one that makes you smile and say, “That’s so corny”… and mean it as a compliment.
