Khaid kicked down the door with his debut EP, Diversity, on May 27, 2022. Right from the jump, he showed he’s not just another name in Nigeria’s Afro-fusion scene; he’s a fresh voice with range.
Over six tracks, he jumps from Afropop to Afro-trap and R&B, weaving in stories about love, struggle, celebration, and figuring out who you are. The opener, “With You,” is a straight-up love song that blew up fast and put him on the map. The EP doesn’t stay in one lane, though.
You get reflective moments, but then tracks like “Ski” and “Akpako” crank up the energy. On “Blessed,” he gets personal and grateful, digging into his own journey and spirituality, while “Fire” is all about admiration and sweet affection. Then there’s “Bad Man,” where he leans into confidence and swagger, showing he can switch from soft to bold without missing a beat.
