The acronym stands for Love, Hope, Faith, Grace pillars that define both the track and BUK’s personal journey.
Born Bukunmi Peter Onasanya and raised in Bodija, Ibadan, BUK draws deeply from his upbringing as the son of a reverend.
His latest work, “LHFG,” reflects the tension between honouring one’s roots and stepping boldly into one’s purpose. D
elivered with crisp production, fluid flows and introspective lyrics, the song resonates with anyone navigating faith, identity and calling.
“‘LHFG’ is not just about me.
It’s about every soul that has ever tried to reconcile who they are with who the world expects them to be,” said BUK in a statement.
“It’s faith-filled but it’s also real — and that’s what makes it powerful.”
BUK’s creative story began not in a music studio, but beside a neighbour’s boom box. Fascinated by its ability to record sound, young Bukunmi became consumed by the magic of music.
By secondary school, he was writing songs and layering beats.
That passion followed him to the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, where he studied Computer Science and developed a reputation under the alias “Iceberg.”
He became a go-to producer in campus circles, known for his keen ear and smooth mixes. This reputation followed him into the professional world, and in 2015, he founded Artstillbeats Studio in Ibadan.
The studio quickly became a hub for both local and international gospel acts. BUK’s work stood out for its quality and purpose — a fusion that earned him acclaim far beyond Nigeria.
It’s faith-filled but it’s also real and that’s what makes it powerful.
In 2022, BUK moved to the United Kingdom and rebranded himself for a global audience.
Though he had long been behind the scenes helping artists like LC Beatz, Tobi Toun and Lekan Salamii, the shift marked a new phase one where BUK would step into the spotlight.
With “LHFG,” that transition is complete.
The single combines reflective storytelling with genre-blending soundscapes, proving BUK’s versatility.
He delivers verses filled with hope and resolve, while the beat invites both meditation and movement. The production is tight, the message is uplifting, and the delivery is compelling.
What sets BUK apart is his ability to infuse spirituality into every bar without becoming preachy.
Whether one identifies with the Christian message or not, the track’s sincerity and craftsmanship are undeniable.
The production showcases not just a technically skilled musician, but a storyteller with something to say.
The song’s strength lies in its balance. While grounded in gospel values, “LHFG” doesn’t shy away from the artist’s inner conflict.
There’s vulnerability, but there’s also triumph — the sound of someone who has walked through confusion into clarity.

As the Christian music space continues to expand globally, BUK is poised to become one of its most unique voices.
His blend of honesty, hope, and head-nodding beats offers a refreshing experience to listeners of all backgrounds.
Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has strongly condemned what he described as wickedness and manipulation surrounding the circumstances of the late singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
Gbenjo made the appeal during a night of tributes held in honour of the late musician at the Jogor Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State. Addressing the gathering, he passionately urged individuals allegedly behind any underhanded tactics to halt their actions immediately.
Describing Toluwanisings as a devoted servant of God and a man of integrity, Gbenjo noted that the late singer possessed a pure heart and was a friend to all.
Cautioning against attempts to distort facts or control narratives regarding the tragic event, Gbenjo stated that whoever was orchestrating such moves should desist. He called on attendees to collectively reject such actions, leading them in a unified stance against perceived malice.
The remarks come amid heightened emotions and grief surrounding Toluwanisings’ passing, which occurred on October 14, 2026. Fellow artistes and industry colleagues at the memorial event paid glowing tributes, demanding sincerity and peace as the public comes to terms with the loss.
Crystal Hefner, the widow of late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has accused him of subjecting her and other women to sexual abuse and coercion during their relationship.
Speaking on the “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” podcast, the 40-year-old said she often felt obligated to comply with Hefner’s wishes, including sexually, and questioned whether some of what she experienced amounted to rape.
“I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do,” she said.
Crystal recalled situations in the bedroom that left her deeply uncomfortable, stating that some things that happened “ended up just not being OK.”
She also made a disturbing allegation involving twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, claiming Hefner attempted to pressure them into sexual activity with each other.
“That is incest. That is disgusting,” she stated, adding that witnessing the situation was “very, very hard” for her.
Crystal further alleged that Hefner would use dirty sex toys during encounters with her and other women, describing the experiences as painful and lacking intimacy.
When host Lisa Guerrero suggested that what Crystal described “sounds like rape,” she agreed.
“He’s not gentle,” Crystal said, adding that she would be left in pain afterward.
According to Crystal, Hefner increasingly sought extreme stimulation and engaged in sexual acts that she said were not consensual or intimate.
Crystal and Hugh married in 2012 and remained together until his death at 91 in September 2017. She has since moved on with marine biologist James Ward, whom she began dating in 2024. The pair married in April.
