The resurgence of the “Port-Harcourt first son,” Duncan Mighty, into the mainstream in 2018 was nothing short of spectacular, you really had to be there to witness it.
After years away from the mainstream, 2018 marked a powerful reignition of Duncan Mighty’s career, a comeback that few saw coming. What some considered just a return turned into a dominant force in Nigerian music: Duncan Mighty was everywhere, collaborating with every A-list artist of the time.
His dominance began with the hit song “Fake Love” featuring Wizkid, which instantly went viral. The catchy lyrics, “Only fakers be loving when you have… When e red, them tuwama when e red,” quickly became a staple on radio and in clubs across the country.
What initially seemed like a one-off collaboration blossomed into a wave of features.
Every top artist wanted a piece of Duncan Mighty’s magical sound. Notable collaborations include “Lova Lova” with Tiwa Savage, “Aza” with Davido and Peruzzi, “Bio Bio” with Reekado Banks, “Gimme love” with DJ Xclusive, and “what I see” with Phyno.
Through this period, Duncan Mighty reminded the industry of his legendary talent and cemented his place as a living legend of Afrobeats.
This, without doubt, stands as one of the greatest comebacks in Afrobeats history.
