Nigerian street-pop star Balloranking has officially renewed his partnership with Dapper Music & Entertainment, extending a relationship that has played a major role in his rise within the Afrobeats scene over the past four years.
The renewed multi-year deal was finalised during a signing ceremony at the Dapper Group headquarters in Lagos, with both the artist and label expressing excitement about the future.
Since joining forces in 2022, Balloranking has steadily built a reputation as one of the most consistent voices in Nigeria’s street-pop movement. Known for blending emotional storytelling with catchy melodies, the singer has continued to grow his fanbase through projects like Trench Kid Deluxe and Ghetto Gospel.
Under the partnership, Dapper Music supported the artist through branding, distribution, media strategy, live performances and overall artist development, helping him evolve from a fast-rising act into a recognised name with growing international visibility.
Speaking about the renewed deal, Dapper Group CEO Damilola “Dapper” Akinwunmi described the partnership as one built on trust, loyalty and long-term growth rather than temporary success.
Balloranking also shared his excitement, calling Dapper Music his home and promising fans that his best work is still ahead.
The announcement comes as Dapper Group continues expanding its influence within Nigeria’s music industry, with billions of streams generated yearly across its artist ecosystem.
For Balloranking, the new agreement signals more than just a contract renewal.
It marks the beginning of another phase in his career, with a new project already in the works and fans eagerly waiting to see what comes next from one of street-pop’s most relatable voices.
