Born Moses Adelakun in Oyo State, Nigeria, Maxee’s musical journey began in the church, where he started singing at just 10 years old. His big break came with “National Cake,” a satirical anthem that went viral and earned him massive online attention.

The track didn’t just bring fame — it also gave him the nickname Mr. National Cake, which quickly made him a cultural figure among Nigerian youth for his creativity and relatability. Today, he commands a WhatsApp fan community of over 1,000 listeners.

Now, Maxee is back with “Blue Story”, a sultry, emotionally charged R&B record released on August 1, 2025, under REBIRTH Music. The single marks a bold reinvention for the fast-rising artist and serves as the lead track from his forthcoming project.

Heavily inspired by Chris Brown’s viral hit “Under the Influence,” Maxee says the song is not just a homage but a complete reinvention through his perspective — laced with moody instrumentation, rich storytelling, and Afro-fusion elements.

In his words: “I wanted to create something that mirrors the vibe of ‘Under the Influence’ but tells a different story. ‘Blue Story’ is fictional, but the emotion in it is very real. It’s a new direction for me — more refined, more personal, and it is more sonically global.”

With this release, Maxee proves he’s more than a viral sensation. “Blue Story” isn’t just another single — it’s a mission statement. Its genre-blending style positions him among the new wave of African R&B stars pushing sonic boundaries and aiming for global audiences.

Blue Story is set to resonate with listeners looking for music that is both emotionally stirring and sonically fresh.
