American R&B singer Kehlani is set to perform in Nigeria for the first time at the 2026 edition of Coca-Cola Rhythm Unplugged in Lagos.
The singer is scheduled to take the stage on December 21, 2026, at the Eko Convention Centre. Atlanta rapper Lil Baby has also been announced for the event.
The concert is organised by Flytime Promotions. It is part of Lagos’ popular Detty December entertainment season, which attracts music fans and visitors from Nigeria and abroad.
Kehlani confirmed her planned appearance in a video message shared ahead of the show. She invited Nigerian fans to join her in Lagos for the December concert.
Kehlani Confirms Lagos Performance
Kehlani’s appearance will mark her first live performance in Nigeria.
The American singer, whose full name is Kehlani Ashley Parrish, first gained attention as a member of PopLyfe. The group competed on America’s Got Talent in 2011.
She later established herself as a solo artiste. Her music blends R&B, pop and soul, with songs such as Gangsta, Nights Like This featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and Folded.
Her planned Lagos appearance adds another international name to the growing list of artistes expected in Nigeria during the festive season.
Lil Baby Also Set for Rhythm Unplugged
Kehlani will share the Rhythm Unplugged bill with American rapper Lil Baby.
The rapper, whose real name is Dominique Armani Jones, rose to prominence in 2017. He gained wider recognition with his 2018 album Harder Than Ever, which featured the hit song Yes Indeed with Drake.
His inclusion adds a hip-hop dimension to the concert lineup.
Rhythm Unplugged has become a major fixture on Nigeria’s live music calendar. The annual event has featured Nigerian and international performers since its launch in 2004.
What Fans Should Know About the Concert
The event is scheduled for December 21 at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos.
However, fans should check the organisers’ official channels for confirmed ticket prices, sales dates, entry requirements and any further changes to the lineup.
The announcement comes as entertainment companies prepare for the annual influx of visitors during Lagos’ December festivities.
For music fans, international performances such as this offer an opportunity to see global artistes live without travelling outside Nigeria.
Why Kehlani’s Nigerian Debut Matters
Kehlani’s planned appearance reflects the growing international profile of Nigeria’s live entertainment market.
December concerts attract local audiences, members of the Nigerian diaspora and international visitors. This creates opportunities for event organisers, hospitality businesses and other parts of the creative economy.
The concert also gives Nigerian fans an opportunity to experience an R&B performer whose music has reached audiences around the world.
With Kehlani and Lil Baby on the announced lineup, Rhythm Unplugged is shaping up to be one of the events to watch during the 2026 festive season.
More details, including ticketing information and any additional performers, are expected through the organisers’ official channels.
