Joseph Badejo,[4] known professionally as Wolfacejoeyy (stylized in lowercase), is a Nigerian-American rapper, singer and producer.

Career

Joseph Badejo began making music as a teenager. He was inspired by rappers such as Dom Corleo and SoFaygo.[5][6] His alias "wolfacejoeyy" was inspired by Tyler, the Creator.[4][7]

After collaborating with the producer WhereIs22 to release their collaborative EP "22Joeyy"[4][8] in September 2023, Wolfacejoeyy's track "Cake" went viral.[3][9] His album Cupid[10][11][12] had a score of 6 on RapReviews;[13] Valentino[10][14][15] had a score of 7.4.[16] Badejo released a song called "Miss Me",[6] which led to him being approached by labels for the first time.[17] He was also featured in the "Paradise and Brighton Music Hall".[18]

In 2024, Badejo performed at Powerhouse NYC.[19] On February 20, Wolfacejoeyy sang at the Bentley Campus Black History Month event.[20] "'Alexis Texas'" was surprisingly mild and slightly sexual for a song named after a pornstar", according to Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork.[21] Wolfacejoeyy performed a freestyle to a club-inspired WhereIs22 beat on On the Radar, later releasing the official version titled "Shake It".[22]

Musical style

Music reviewers have characterized Badejo's music using a variety of terms, mainly being "sexy-drill".[4][10]
