Nigerian rapper Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike popularly known as Phyno has officially announced his entry into the sexual health market with the launch of his own condom brand, "Okpu by Alobam."
The news broke over the weekend (April 11, 2026) when the artist shared a teaser on his Instagram story. Here are the key details currently available:
The brand name "Okpu" (which means "hat" or "cap" in Igbo) is a clever linguistic play on "capping" or "covering" for protection.
By adding "by Alobam," Phyno leans into his legendary 2014 hit and signature slang, which translates to "my guy" or "my brother," reinforcing the brand’s identity as a product for "the guys."
He accompanied the announcement with the tagline: "Stay strapped."
Initial photos shared by the artist showcase at least two different variants of the condoms.
While he has confirmed the brand is "coming soon," a specific official launch date or retail price has not yet been disclosed.
This move makes Phyno one of the few high-profile Nigerian entertainers to diversify into the pharmaceutical and sexual health manufacturing sector, moving beyond the traditional celebrity ventures like spirits or clothing.
Fans have widely reacted to the news on social media, praising the rapper for his business wit and the cultural relevance of the branding.
