Veteran music executive and entrepreneur Soso Soberekon has announced his engagement. The news, which broke on July 22, 2026, marks a joyful new chapter for the industry veteran, who is well known for his major behind-the-scenes influence in Afrobeats and his larger-than-life personality.
Often called “White Lion,” Soberekon has been a key figure in the Nigerian music scene for over two decades. He founded Madskillz Studios in 2003 and played a major role in building Five Star Music with E-Money and Kcee, helping launch and grow the careers of artists like Kcee, Harrysong, and Skiibii. After leaving Five Star in 2017, he launched White Lion Global, which covers talent management, event production, construction, and energy businesses. He has continued shaping artists’ careers while expanding his own empire.
The announcement quickly went viral on platforms like X and Instagram, with popular entertainment accounts such as Instablog9ja, YabaLeftOnline, and Nigeria Stories sharing celebratory clips. Fans and colleagues flooded the comments with congratulations, celebrating the end of his bachelor days and the beginning of wedding bells.
Details about the proposal and his fiancée have stayed relatively private so far, with the focus simply on the happy news rather than a flashy public reveal. Soberekon, who has spoken in past interviews about putting his career first and a heartbreak that kept him single for years, now seems to have found lasting love.
While wedding plans haven’t been shared yet, this engagement signals an exciting new phase for him both personally and professionally. In an industry where work often comes first, his announcement is a nice reminder of the importance of balance and finding love alongside success.
Congratulations to Soso Soberekon and his fiancée! The Nigerian music and entertainment community is eagerly waiting for more updates on this beautiful union.
