He then said in 2023, they intended to release their first joint album since reconciling. In 2017, the duo went their separate ways amid growing tensions and online spats, the two stars opted to pursue solo careers. After four years, they made amends and announced a reunion concert later that year. Following their reconciliation, they released two joint songs in 2022 titled "Find Somebody" and "Jaiye." After the reconciliation, they embarked on a100-city reunion tour, where they headlined shows across the world, thrilling fans with many of their renowned, nostalgic classics.

Their legacy has influenced the artistry and technique of several new school Nigerian performers who are now dominating the global charts. So far, several fans are excited about the upcoming album, although the two brothers have not announced an official release date.
