Majeed, the acclaimed songwriter-turned-performer, has released his most vulnerable record to date, “Blame On Me.” After years of crafting hits for global icons like Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay, and Zuchu, the Dream Empire Music signee continues to demonstrate the storytelling prowess that earned him the title of Apple Music’s “Up Next” artist for Nigeria. Following the massive success of his breakout single “Yawa No Dey End,” this latest release finds the artist stepping away from the spotlight to confront the weight of personal regret.
“Blame On Me” is a raw, internal dialogue centered on the consequences of taking a partner’s devotion for granted. Majeed addresses the woman he once called “olo mi,” acknowledging that she was his primary source of peace before his own mistakes disrupted their harmony. Stripping away all excuses, the record serves as an open invitation for her to place the entirety of their relationship’s failure on his shoulders. He offers a sobering reflection on accountability, signaling a maturity in his songwriting that resonates with anyone who has navigated the heavy silence of self-inflicted loss.
The track famously leans into the traditional wisdom of the Yoruba proverb, “Wetin I find go Sokoto, e dey my sokoto,” illustrating the painful realization that everything he was searching for was already within his reach. Majeed admits to the mess he has made in the clearest possible terms, pleading for mercy while accepting the burden of his actions. This blend of street-smart philosophy and high-stakes emotional honesty creates a listening experience that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
“Blame On Me” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
