Independent Afrobeat artist Adebayo Adiamo, known for his soulful melodies and energetic rhythms, has dropped his latest single, “Pepper Dem,” on June 5, 2025. The new track comes as a bold continuation of his musical journey, building on the themes explored in his previous works and sending a strong message to critics and doubters.
Born in Nigeria and now based in Germany, Adebayo Adiamo has carved out a unique space in the Afrobeat world, blending authentic African sounds with global influences. “Pepper Dem” follows his widely appreciated songs “Infatuation,” “Big Belly,” “Let Her Go,” “Don’t Give Up,” and “My Money,” all part of his breakthrough album “Honey Baby.” Each track reflects a chapter of his story—love, struggle, resilience, and ambition.
With “Pepper Dem,” Adebayo turns up the heat, using music as his response to the criticism he has faced on his path. The song speaks directly to those who choose to tear down rather than lift up. It’s a defiant anthem of self-worth, confidence, and persistence. Driven by vibrant percussion, catchy hooks, and Adebayo’s signature vocal style, the track delivers a message loud and clear: success shines brighter in the face of negativity.
“This song is for every artist or dreamer who’s been told they’re not good enough. I’ve had people criticize me telling people not to help me grow, but to hold me back. ‘Pepper Dem’ is how I rise above – with rhythm, fire, and truth,” says Adebayo.
As an independent artist, Adebayo continues to inspire with his unfiltered expression, commitment to his craft, and an unwavering belief in his voice. “Pepper Dem” is not just a song– it’s a movement, an answer, and a celebration of resilience.
