In a post shared by **@adekunlegold** on Instagram, the singer announced that his highly anticipated deluxe album, *FUJI XTRA*, is set to drop on May 8, 2026. The project marks a significant stylistic return to his roots, featuring collaborations with his wife Simi, his longtime mentor Olamide, and rising star TML Vibez.
**Nigerian Entertainment Today** verified the tracklist on April 27, noting that the album aims to blend traditional Fuji elements with modern pop. The outlet stated, “Adekunle Gold continues to reinvent himself, this time tapping into the core of Yoruba street music.” **NotJustOk** also confirmed the announcement, quoting an official press release that describes the project as “a sonic bridge between the old guard of Fuji and the new wave of Afropop.”
Adekunle Gold has mastered the art of the “rebrand,” and *FUJI XTRA* appears to be his attempt to reclaim the “street” credibility that some critics felt he moved away from during his high-fashion “AG Baby” era. Including Olamide and TML Vibez ensures appeal across different demographics, making this one of the most strategically planned releases of the quarter.
