Ajebutter22 has built his reputation around music that turns everyday experiences into understated stories. His songs frequently explore relationships, ambition, lifestyle and the realities of navigating Lagos, often through witty observations and conversational writing.
That connection with the city was particularly evident on his 2017 album What Happens in Lagos, which remains one of the notable projects in his catalogue. His career has also included Anytime Soon his 2014 collaborative album with Studio Magic, before continuing through projects such as Make E No Cause Fight, Soundtrack To The Good Life and Lust In Lagos.
His music has continued to evolve while retaining the personality that first set him apart. His latest project, Big Bad World, was released on June 19, 2026, as a six-track EP.
The project adds another chapter to a career that has consistently balanced rap, melody, humor and observations about modern Nigerian life.
The Bandage Sessions appearance arrives at a fitting point in Ajebutter22's journey. With more than a decade of music behind him and a new project in his catalogue, the live performance provides an opportunity to revisit different periods of his career while giving the songs a new dimension through a live-band arrangement.
For listeners familiar with his recorded work, the session could offer a closer experience of the music—one that places greater emphasis on performance, instrumentation and the stories within his songs.
For Ajebutter22, it is another opportunity to take a sound deeply influenced by Lagos and present it in a setting where the city, the music and the audience meet.
Event Details: Ajebutter22 will perform live with a band at Bandage Sessions on August 30, 2026, at BYD Nigeria, Victoria Island, Lagos. Tickets are available through the link in his Instagram bio, with @insidebandage tagged in his announcement.
As the date approaches, the Bandage Sessions stage offers Ajebutter22 a chance to turn a catalogue built on Lagos life and personal observation into a live experience.
