In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about Muyeez, from his background and music career to his net worth, record label, and controversies.
Biography
Muyeez, whose real name is Moshood Abdulmuiz, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. He was born on May 27 in Lagos State, Nigeria, and he is of Yoruba origin. While some sources list his birth year as 2007 and others as 2008, both confirm that he is currently 18 years old.
He grew up in Lagos, where he was exposed to music at a very young age. Coming from a Yoruba background, Muyeez naturally developed fluency in the Yoruba language, which later influenced his sound and musical expression. His interest in music started around the age of eight, and from that point, he began to focus more on creative expression rather than academics.
Muyeez is a Muslim and currently resides in Abuja (FCT). Although formal education was an option, his focus shifted fully to music as his career started gaining momentum. At one point, popular singer Seyi Vibez reportedly offered to support his education, but Muyeez chose to stay committed to building his music career instead.
Age
Muyeez is 18 years old. He officially entered the Nigerian music industry in his mid-teens and became one of the youngest Nigerian artists to achieve a number-one song on major digital music platforms. His age has often been a point of discussion due to how early he achieved mainstream success.
Family, Parents, and Relationships
Muyeez was born into a Yoruba family in Lagos State. Details about his parents and siblings are kept private, and there is no public information suggesting involvement of his family in the entertainment industry.
He is currently single, and there are no confirmed romantic relationships linked to him. Online rumors about relationships or industry setups have not been backed by any factual evidence. There are also no known family-related controversies surrounding his career.
Career and Music Journey
Muyeez’s professional music journey gained serious attention after he connected with Seyi Vibez, one of Nigeria’s most influential street-pop artists. He became signed to Vibez Inc., Seyi Vibez’s record label, which played a major role in shaping his early career.
He later entered a distribution and label arrangement with Dapper Music, which helped push his music to a wider audience. His breakout moment came with the release of “Instagram,” a song featuring Seyi Vibez. The track topped the Apple Music Nigeria charts within 24 hours, making Muyeez one of the youngest artists in Nigeria to achieve that milestone.
Following the success of “Instagram,” Muyeez released a self-titled EP containing four tracks. The project performed well across streaming platforms and further solidified his presence in the industry. Within a short period, he released multiple EPs that all reached number-one positions on various charts, an uncommon achievement for an artist of his age.
Musically, Muyeez blends Afropop, Afrobeats, and R&B with a sound that leans heavily on emotion and street-inspired melodies. His style aligns closely with the Vibez Inc. sound while still maintaining his own identity.
Net Worth and Sources of Income
Muyeez’s estimated net worth ranges around ₦50 million, based on music earnings, live performances, streaming revenue, and endorsements. His income primarily comes from:
- Music streaming and downloads
- Live shows and appearances
- Record label and distribution deals
He reportedly received ₦10 million from Wizkid as support and recognition and another ₦10 million from Burna Boy earlier in his career. After that, he got featured in top songs like “Instagram” alongside Seyi Vibez and “Free” alongside Olamide and Seyi Vibez. He recently bought himself a Dodge Challenger as a birthday gift for himself in late 2025, in December. These gestures significantly boosted his financial standing and industry credibility.
Record Label and Contract Issues
Muyeez had his name on the roster of Vibez Inc. and was partnered with Dapper Music through a distribution deal, but that partnership came to an abrupt halt after some pretty serious disagreements surfaced. Muyeez then came out publicly saying he has been ripped off, that he didn’t get the royalties he was owed from his hit projects and that he has been poorly treated while he was with Dapper Music.
Dapper Music put out a statement saying Muyeez’s claims were way off the mark, that the problems had been entirely down to his own making. The messy end to the partnership was enough to kick off a whole industry-wide discussion surrounding artist welfare,especially for the young guns who are signing record deals when they’re barely out of their teenage years.
Controversies
The thing that really put Muyeez in the spotlight was the drama he went through leaving Dapper Music. He claimed he was taken advantage of, that he didn’t get paid what he was owed, and that the label treated him pretty badly.
Of course, there are plenty of people watching all this go down who have their own opinions on whether Muyeez’s claims stack up or not. Anyway, aside from all that, there don’t seem to be any other major controversies going on involving Muyeez.
Social Media Presence
Muyeez is pretty active on social media, where he posts about his music and keeps his fans up to speed. You can also find loads of other people posting about him on their pages, people sharing updates, clips, and all sorts of other Muyeez-related goodies.
Conclusion
Muyeez is one of the new crop of young Nigerian artists who are really making a name for themselves, but the reality is that even though he’s achieved an awful lot, he’s still got his fair share of problems to deal with in the industry.
His story shows that if you’ve got the talent and the right people behind you, you can really make it all the way to the top, but it also highlights just how tough it can be for artists out there, especially when the contracts and deals don’t always play out the way they should. With all that said, Muyeez is still pretty young, and his career’s still in its early days.
