6uff is a Nigerian singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer known for a distinctive Afro-fusion sound that blends Afrobeats, hip-hop, and experimental African rhythms. Born Okwudili Okoli on July 24, 1990, in Anambra State, he grew up in a devout Igbo Christian family and first discovered music by playing drums for his local Redeemed Christian Church of God branch as a teenager.
6uff's path into music began behind the scenes rather than in front of the mic. He started producing at just 17, sharing freestyles and beats on social media before eventually stepping fully into performing. His admiration for Burna Boy became a defining influence, pushing him to dedicate more time to his craft, particularly after finishing his university education. He has since worked with artists including Peruzzi, and produced an unreleased track featuring Burna Boy.
Though he started professionally around 2011, 6uff's breakthrough into the wider Nigerian music conversation came later, with his 2021 single Selfish marking a clear introduction of his sound to a broader audience. He has since built a catalog of EPs including Intruder, Menace to Society, Menace to Society II, and Bad Meets Evil, alongside singles like Luku Luku, which gained wide acclaim and helped raise his profile.
In 2025, 6uff released Prodigy, from his Menace to Society II EP, which found notable traction across Nigerian music charts and social media. Over a decade into his career, 6uff is increasingly recognized as one of Nigeria's promising rap and Afro-fusion voices, with an expanding footprint that includes plans for international touring.
