Nigerian Afrobeats star Fireboy DML has released his highly anticipated fifth studio album titled ‘ZUKO!’
The album, released on Thursday, October 16, 2026, under YBNL Nation / EMPIRE, contains 13 tracks and runs for about 40 minutes. It is now available on all streaming platforms including Apple Music and Audiomack, where it already has over 1.96M plays.
Why ‘ZUKO!’? Meaning Behind The Title
According to Fireboy, the title ‘ZUKO!’ is inspired by Prince Zuko from Avatar – a nickname fans once used to troll him, but which he has now turned into a symbol of strength and self-awareness. He described the project as a reflection of growth and determination to make meaningful changes in his life.
This follows his deeply personal 2024 album ‘adedamola’. His earlier albums are Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps (2019), APOLLO (2020) and Playboy (2022).
