Nigerian rap sensation Ladipoe has taken a moment to reflect on one of his most iconic songs, the 2020 hit single “Know You” featuring powerhouse vocalist Simi. In a nostalgic post on his social media, Ladipoe celebrates “Know You” as the track has officially crossed 1,020,536 streams. It continues to grow.
Ladipoe, signed to Mavin Records, described the song as nothing short of “magic”. He reminisced on how it came together and the impact it had. The heartfelt duet explores the desire to know someone beyond surface-level conversations. It became an instant anthem during the pandemic era, resonating deeply with fans across the globe. Ladipoe celebrates “Know You” for its unique appeal and emotional depth.
The single didn’t just perform well in numbers. “Know You” went on to win Best Collaboration at The Headies, one of Nigeria’s most prestigious music awards. The chemistry between Ladipoe’s introspective verses and Simi’s soothing vocals created a timeless track. It continues to connect with audiences years later. Truly, Ladipoe celebrates “Know You” with every accolade it earns.
Since bursting onto the scene with songs like “Feeling” (featuring BNXN), Ladipoe has carved out a unique space in Nigerian music. Unlike many rappers in the Afrobeats-dominated scene, he leans into lyricism, storytelling, and clever wordplay. This makes him one of the standout voices in the alt-rap movement.
He’s not only a rapper but also a poet in his own right—earning the nickname “Leader of the Revival”. This is for his role in pushing Nigerian rap into new and exciting territories. Ladipoe celebrates “Know You” as a milestone in his career and a highlight of his artistic journey.
Despite his low-key personality, Ladipoe has remained consistent with quality music and thought-provoking verses. He has largely stayed away from controversies, focusing instead on artistic growth and meaningful collaborations.
As fans continue to stream “Know You,” Ladipoe’s reflection serves as a reminder of the beauty of music that touches the soul. If this milestone is any indication, he’s only just getting started.
