By Passman Akpos
Lagos, Nigeria — Fast-rising Bayelsa-born ragga sensation, Pupa Dre, has set the digital music space ablaze with the release of his brand-new single titled “KPOMO,” just days after it officially dropped online through ONErpm.
The track, released five days ago, is already gaining traction across major streaming and social media platforms including Spotify, YouTube, Audiomack, SoundCloud, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat — a move that signals Pupa Dre’s growing influence in Nigeria’s evolving music scene.
Speaking from Lagos, the artist confirmed his continued grind in the commercial capital, emphasizing that “KPOMO” represents a new creative direction and a deeper connection with street vibes and contemporary sounds.
This latest release follows the success of his earlier track “Pasisie,” which was widely reported for its strong message of peace and unity across the Niger Delta. Hailing from Bolou-Orua in Bayelsa State, Pupa Dre — born Maurice Gentle Agbereowei — has steadily built a reputation for blending traditional Ijaw rhythms with reggae and dancehall elements, earning comparisons with legendary Caribbean influences.
“Pasisie” struck a chord with listeners for its call for harmony in a region often marked by tension, with the artist declaring:
“I represent the voice of my people through music. ‘Pasisie’ is about peace, love, and unity — what the Niger Delta truly needs.”
Now, with “KPOMO,” Pupa Dre appears to be shifting gears — delivering a more energetic, street-driven anthem that is already stirring conversations among fans and music lovers.
Industry watchers say the back-to-back releases could mark a breakthrough moment for the Bayelsa-born artist, as he continues to push Ijaw ragga into mainstream Nigerian music culture.
With a growing fanbase and increasing digital presence, Pupa Dre is fast positioning himself not just as an entertainer, but as a cultural voice for the Niger Delta.
Fans can stay connected with him via his official handle @Pupadre and watch out for more releases as the rising star continues his momentum.
