Sexyy Red Set to Headline Flytime Fest 2026 in Lagos

American rapper Sexyy Red is heading to Nigeria. She has been announced as a headliner for Flytime Fest 2026, with her set scheduled for 22nd December at the Eko Convention Center in Lagos.

The booking is a big one for the festival’s opening night. Sexyy Red has built a loud, unapologetic following in hip hop, and her blend of raw energy and viral records has made her one of the most talked-about voices of her generation. Her Lagos appearance puts her in front of a crowd that has proven it knows how to meet that energy.

Flytime Fest has long been a fixture of Nigeria’s festive season. Launched in 2017 as the country’s first multi-day indoor music festival, it grew out of the Rhythm Unplugged concert series and now sits at the center of the Detty December calendar. Past editions have mixed homegrown stars with international names, and the Eko Convention Center has become a reliable stage for those crossover moments.

For Nigerian fans, a Sexyy Red show also fits the wider story of American rap and Afrobeats moving closer together. Collaborations, features and live bookings between both scenes keep growing, and Flytime has become one of the main places where that exchange plays out in person.

Fans planning to attend should keep an eye on Flytime’s official channels for ticket details and the full lineup. With the festival opening on 22nd December, demand is likely to build quickly as more names are confirmed.
