The song, which dropped Thursday, Sept. 25, 2025, blends Afrobeats rhythms with dancehall beats. In just over three minutes, it delivers a message about success, living authentically, and refusing to waste time on fake relationships.
“Getting Paid” is the lead single from Sarz’s upcoming album Protect Sarz at All Costs. The project is set to feature collaborations with some of Afrobeats’ rising and established names, including Shallipopi, Lojay, and Teni.
A star-studded lineup
Sarz, whose real name is Osabuohien Osaretin, is known for producing hits that shape the sound of modern Afrobeats. With Wizkid’s smooth vocals, Asake’s street-inspired energy, and Skillibeng’s Jamaican flair, the track brings together three different styles on one beat.
Music critics say the collaboration highlights Afrobeats’ growing global reach. By pairing Nigerian stars with a Jamaican dancehall act, Sarz is pushing the genre further onto the international stage.
“This song is more than just about money,” a Lagos-based music journalist said. “It’s about self-worth, confidence, and making choices that reflect who you really are. That’s what makes it connect with both Nigerian and global audiences.”
Building anticipation for the album
Protect Sarz at All Costs is one of the most talked-about Afrobeats albums of the year. The title reflects Sarz’s reputation in the industry as a producer who not only creates beats but also mentors younger artists.
In recent years, Sarz has worked with stars like Burna Boy, Niniola, and Drake, making him a household name in Nigeria and abroad. Industry insiders say this album could be his most personal project yet, bringing together established voices and new talents in one body of work.
While the full release date for the album has not been confirmed, fans are already expressing excitement online. Many flooded social media after the single dropped, praising the mix of voices and the production quality.
Afrobeats on the global stage
Afrobeats has continued to dominate global charts, with artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Rema performing on some of the world’s biggest stages. Adding Skillibeng to the collaboration underlines the growing links between Afrobeats and Caribbean sounds, a connection rooted in shared African and diaspora influences.
According to music industry reports, streaming platforms have played a major role in spreading Afrobeats to new audiences in North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Songs like “Getting Paid” are likely to further boost the trend, offering a fresh blend that appeals across cultures.
What comes next
For Sarz, the single marks another step in a long career defined by reinvention and global ambition. His upcoming album will not only showcase his production but also demonstrate his ability to unite different voices in a single sound.
Fans can expect more collaborations to be revealed in the coming weeks as Sarz builds momentum toward the full release of Protect Sarz at All Costs.
With Wizkid, Asake, and Skillibeng already on board, industry watchers say the album could rank among the most influential Afrobeats releases of 2025.
“Afrobeats is not slowing down,” the Lagos journalist added. “And with Sarz leading from behind the scenes, the sound is only going to get bigger.”

Senator representing Ogun East in the National Assembly, Gbenga Daniel, alongside his supporters, was reportedly prevented from gaining access to the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders meeting held at Adeola Odutola Hall in Ijebu Ode on Monday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to a viral video circulating online, the former Ogun State governor confirmed the development while addressing his supporters from a branded campaign bus associated with the OGD/PBAT Movement.
In the video, Daniel alleged that the meeting’s outcome would not stand, insisting that he and his group had been barred from entering the venue despite being part of the party structure in the region.
He stated that although they were present for the APC Ogun East caucus meeting, they were denied access, describing any resolutions taken at the gathering as invalid.
The invitation for the emergency stakeholders’ meeting, issued by party leaders in Ijebu Ode, reportedly included deputy governors, serving and former local government chairmen, councillors, and past and present lawmakers at both state and federal levels.
In a related development, Daniel recently referred to his successor, Ibikunle Amosun, as an “enfant terrible successor” during a church service marking his 70th birthday in Sagamu, where Amosun was also in attendance.
Both politicians were once close allies before a political fallout that began ahead of the 2007 governorship election, when Amosun challenged Daniel’s re-election bid. The rivalry intensified further in the 2011 political cycle, deepening the divide between the two former governors.
Speaking at the event, Daniel remarked that Amosun’s early political ambition played a role in their fallout during his time in office.
Violence between supporters and police led to the abandonment of Paraguay’s biggest football fixture on Sunday, April 19, after disorder broke out during the highly anticipated Superclásico between Olimpia and Cerro Porteño.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The match, held at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in Asunción, was brought to a halt when chaos erupted inside the stands. Police responded by deploying rubber bullets and tear gas as sections of the crowd panicked, with some spectators rushing onto the pitch in search of safety.
According to reports, the unrest began after firecrackers were detonated in the area occupied by Cerro Porteño supporters. The situation quickly escalated into violent confrontations between fans and security personnel, making it impossible for the game to continue.
Authorities confirmed that around 100 individuals were detained in connection with the incident, while at least six police officers sustained injuries. One officer is reported to be in serious condition. A hospital spokesperson stated that some of the injured officers suffered head trauma, cuts, and suspected stab wounds.
Police defended their actions, saying their intervention was necessary to protect those in attendance and restore order. They also announced plans to identify those responsible for triggering the violence, adding that such individuals could face sanctions and bans from future sporting events.
The abandoned match could have significant consequences in the Paraguayan league title race. Olimpia currently sit top of the table, holding a six-point lead over Cerro Porteño.
Under league rules, responsibility for a match suspension may fall on the team whose supporters caused the disruption, with potential forfeiture of points. The final decision now rests with the football association’s disciplinary committee.
Following the incident, Olimpia’s president Rodrigo Nogues indicated the club would push for a three-point award, while Cerro Porteño’s president Blas Reguera argued that responsibility for stadium security should be taken into account in determining any ruling.
