Ebuka did it again—this time with highlife royalty in mind.

Another BBNaija Sunday, another reminder that no one wears intentional fashion quite like Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. And tonight, he didn’t just dress up—he channeled a legend.

His latest look is a powerful nod to the late great Oliver De Coque, the highlife maestro known for his hypnotic ogene-infused sound and unforgettable presence. The man gave us 93 albums. Ninety-three. And now, he’s given us style inspo too.

Ebuka stepped out in a regal burgundy ensemble that felt like music in motion—his jacket richly embroidered with swirling gold motifs, every thread calling back to tradition. Paired with coordinating trousers and a clean inner tunic, the silhouette is classic, the tailoring sharp, and the energy? Royal.

A red Igbo cap crowns the look. Coral beads drape his neck with the weight of legacy. A fur stole clutches his arm like a whisper from the past. And those tinted aviators? Just the right amount of mischief.

This isn’t just fashion—it’s homage. And just like Oliver De Coque’s lyrics, this one’s going to live rent-free in our heads.

We came for the eviction drama, but stayed for the cultural renaissance. What’s next, Ebuka? At this point, he might show up in a Fela-inspired buba and we’d still faint. (And love it.)
