“Ayebo Ayeba, Somebody Call the Popo” is the breakout viral freestyle video from Akwa Ibom TikToker Ivana, and it’s quickly become one of the most viewed TikTok freestyles in Nigeria so far, garnering millions of views and countless remixes.
Ivana began her freestyling career in the year 2024, posting series of videos on TikTok and Instagram, showcasing her unique blend of style, creativity, and charisma. In the early months of 2024, she didn’t just blow up, and then in late months she began taking it more serious, honing her craft and perfecting her sound.
As of this writing, she only has a handful of song covers and freestyles out, and nearly all of them are less than two minutes long, but they’ve been enough to captivate audiences and leave them wanting more. She has a soft voice, a diversion from the growling flows so popular in Afrobeats, and it’s refreshing to hear something different. You can tell she didn’t grow up battling or freestyling all that much, but what she lacks in experience, and you can sense, is a willingness to learn, grow, and experiment with new sounds.
Ivana’s rise to fame has been nothing short of remarkable, and it’s clear that she’s here to stay. With her unique style, captivating stage presence, and dedication to her craft, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes a household name. Watch this space, as Ivana is just getting started, and her music is only going to get louder.
