BIQD Ignites Passion and Pain on ‘This Love Is On Fire’

There’s something unmistakably raw about BIQD’s latest single, This Love Is On Fire. The Lagos-based rapper—still fresh off the buzz of his 2024 debut—returns with a searing dose of emotional candour that cuts through like smoke in a still room. Produced by the enigmatic Skilla, the track smolders with soulful intensity, weaving ambient textures with sharp lyricism that burns with purpose.

From the opening notes, TLIOF announces itself not as a typical love song, but as a cinematic confessional—haunted by heartbreak, driven by desire, and scarred by the heat of connection. Skilla’s beat does more than just support—it breathes, sighs, and simmers beneath BIQD’s words, anchored by a ghostly sample that lingers like memory.

Born Paul Chibuike Chukwukere, BIQD’s rise has been anything but conventional. Drawing inspiration from global heavyweights like Central Cee and Post Malone while rooted in the melodic legacies of Psquare and Westlife, he crafts a hybrid sound that feels uniquely his. His voice doesn’t try to impress—it connects. There’s a simplicity in his delivery that leaves space for the emotion to swell.

“This love is on fire, but the flames don't warm me,” he raps—direct, devastating. It’s that contrast—between heat and hollowness, between affection and aftermath—that gives the song its magnetic pull. This Love Is On Fire isn’t just about heartbreak; it’s about the bruises we carry into every new spark, and the quiet hope that maybe, this time, the fire won't consume us.

With TLIOF, BIQD doesn’t just join Nigeria’s next-gen hip-hop movement—he helps define it. Honest, atmospheric, and sonically rich, the track reinforces what D’s Genesis and BigD hinted at: this is an artist with range, vision, and a story worth telling. And if this fire is anything to go by, BIQD’s just getting warmed up.
