The EP helped establish his presence in the Nigerian music scene and received mixed reviews, with some praising its sound and focus on success, ambition, and personal growth.[9][10] The Guardian Nigeria described the EP as showing flashes of promise but noted that it "doesn't quite stick the landing."[11]

Controversies

In March 2024, Gistlover blog accused him of involvement in internet fraud, a romantic relationship with Shubomi (sister of artist Naira Marley),[16] and girlfriend of Zinoleesky. The blog also claimed he had been deported from Cyprus.[17] Lowkee, through his legal representative, Barrister Ademola Adefolaju, refuted these claims, labeling them as defamatory and malicious.
