Born Blessing Akiode Mariam in Lagos, Candy Bleakz is that female rapper who refuses to sit pretty. A Chocolate City signee, she torched her path with a sound that blends street, rap, pop, Afrobeats & an attitude that’s hard to ignore.
She first caught attention with Owo Osu featuring Zlatan & Naira Marley, but records like Tikuku & Wale announced her as a force, & her music, as one that thrives on contrast, sweet hooks, biting bars, & a delivery that feels both mischievous & defiant.
In 2024, she pushed her sound further with the Better Days EP, featuring the likes of Bella Shmurda, Blood Civilian, DTG and Vector. Her recent hits with Terry Apala, Simi, Blaqbonez & Rybeena are a testament to the irrefutable legacy she’s building in the music industry.
If you’re just getting acquainted, Owo Osu, Tikuku, Wale (Remix), & selections from Better Days will give you the full picture.
