"Skeletun" is a song recorded by Nigerian singer-songwriter Tekno, [1] it was released on October 8, 2019, by the Cartel Entertainment. [2] It was written by Tekno and produced by Phantom. [3] The song was featured on the soundtrack to Coming 2 America. [4] It debuted at number 19 on the first ever official UK Afrobeats Singles Chart [5] and was nominated for Best Pop Single at The Headies 2020. [6]
Tekno's pandering set benefits greatly from the "Skeletun" production. The hit song is obviously made to appeal to club-hopping people with catchphrases like "e don tey wey we dey shayo" and lyrics appreciating a love interest's physique, [7] especially with peak flexing and concert season on the horizon. The music video was released this same day, [8] on the 8 October 2019, directed by TG Omori [9]
The video debut on Soundcity's Naija Top 20, [10] and also on MTV Base's Official Naija Top 10. It debuted 19 at the first ever official UK Afrobeats Singles Chart [11] and was nominated for Best Pop Single at The Headies 2020. [12] On March 5, 2021, Def Jam Recordings, in conjunction with Def Jam Africa, release the 'Rhythms of Zamunda,' the original soundtrack to the sequel of Eddie Murphy's 1988 classic Coming 2 America, [13] the soundtrack features original songs from African artistes including 'Skeletun'. [14] OkayAfrica describe it that 'Tekno introduces his newest terms to the afropop lexicon with "skeletun," "kelepu," and "keletu" over a tasty highlife rhythm. "Skeletun," which is amusing and illogical, was created by a talented musician who is always learning new musical depths.' and include it on the Best Nigerian Songs of the Month (October). [15]
The song was nominated for Best Pop Single at The Headies 2020. [16]
