Danpapa GTA (born Akinlemibola Omotoyosi Daniel) is a Lagos-born, Ikotun-raised singer, rapper and self-producer at the forefront of Nigeria's alté underground. He builds his songs almost entirely by himself, fusing Afropop cadences with trap-inflected rhythms and an alternative, grunge-meets-alté sensibility that resists neat categorisation. His 2026 single 'Ikeja (No Go Thief)' became one of the year's earliest underground anthems, going viral and debuting on Spotify Nigeria's viral charts. He has built a steady catalogue including the Chanel EP (2024), Pressure (2024) and Balenciaga Kuti (2025), and keeps releasing — new 2026 singles 'Party' and 'dey my body' among them. With around 126k monthly Spotify listeners and growing press coverage (Afromixx, Zikoko, WeTalkSound), he's a fast-rising mid-tier artist-producer.
