The “Detty December” calendar just received a massive injection of legendary energy. American hip-hop icon Busta Rhymes has been officially confirmed as a headliner for the Detty December Fest, marking his first performance on Nigerian soil in 15 years.
The historic concert is set to take place on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the sprawling Detty December Fest Grounds at Ilubirin, Ikoyi, promising a night of high-octane nostalgia and rapid-fire lyrical mastery.
A Homecoming of Titans
Busta Rhymes, known for his electrifying stage presence and intricate flow, took to social media to share his excitement directly with his Nigerian fanbase.
“I’m coming home… We’re shutting it down… It’s gonna be a crazy vibe,” he declared, signaling a cultural reunion. His return to Lagos is a significant moment for the Nigerian hip-hop community, bridging the gap between the golden era of rap and the current global dominance of Afrobeats.
The Detty December Fest Experience
The festival organizers have positioned this event as a cornerstone of the holiday season. By securing a global heavyweight like Busta Rhymes, they are elevating the standard for live entertainment in Lagos. The Ilubirin grounds in Ikoyi will be transformed into a world-class concert arena, ready to host thousands of fans eager to witness the “Break Ya Neck” rapper in his element.
With tickets now available on DettyDecFest.com, the anticipation is palpable. Lagos is ready to welcome back a legend, and if Busta’s promise is anything to go by, the city is about to witness a shutdown of epic proportions.
