The conversations that have dominated social media threads and ignited passionate debates across the internet are finally moving from the digital realm to a physical reality. This December, the boundary between digital discourse and live entertainment will be shattered as Osikoya Speaks presents a genre-defining event: OSIKOYA SPEAKS LIVE: THE RUNDOWN ‘25.
On December 12, 2025, the brand will unveil its most ambitious project to date, the Osikoya Speaks Live Afrobeats Court. This is not merely a live podcast recording; it is a groundbreaking immersive experience designed to blur the lines between cultural critique, theatrical performance, and audience interaction.
The concept transforms the venue into a high-stakes dramatic courtroom. The setup is complete with a presiding Judge, sharp-witted Lawyers, a distinct Jury, and, crucially, a live audience who are more than just spectators, they are witnesses. In this arena, the music industry is not just discussed; it is cross-examined.
The driving force behind this year’s edition is the bold theme: The Culture is on Trial. The People Decide. Under this mandate, the event will rigorously debate the most significant topics surrounding Afrobeats today. From the evolution of the sound and the mechanics of the industry to the major players and the swirling controversies that defined the year, nothing is off-limits.
The Afrobeats Court provides a structured yet explosive platform for fans, artists, and industry insiders to engage in the fiercely opinionated arguments that ultimately shape the trajectory of the genre.
Brought to you by the visionary team behind Osikoya Speaks: The Rundown, this event extends the brand’s signature blend of deep insight and cultural commentary into a fully realized, cinematic format. It promises an evening where the verdict is never guaranteed, and the voice of the culture reigns supreme.
