About The Song
Tumo Weto is the second track on Mavo's debut EP, Ukanigbe, released on December 1, 2023 . The song became a sleeper hit two years after its initial release, following Mavo's rise to fame, reaching number one on Apple Music Nigeria's top songs chart in January 2026 .
Running approximately 2 minutes and 49 seconds, Tumo Weto features more laidback production and vocals compared to Mavo's more recent energetic releases . The song features an Oxlade sample, adding a melodic texture that complements Mavo's conversational delivery . The track blends Afro-fusion melodies with rich percussive layers and emotional depth, carrying an energy that lingers and grows with each listen .
The lyrics weave streetwise storytelling with themes of ambition, money, and romantic encounters. Opening with the poignant observation "No more way for poor people, only rich people get one way," the song immediately establishes its social commentary . Mavo addresses a love interest named Adesuwa, reflecting on the role of money in relationships: "The baby let me know say na money be koko" (The baby let me know that money is the main thing) .
The track also showcases Mavo's signature linguistic playfulness, incorporating Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba expressions, and his self-created slang. The title itself, Tumo Weto, is a playful reference to footballer Timo Werner, used as a metaphor for being sharp or on point . As the Genius annotation notes, the song title appears as both "Timo Wena" and "Tumo Weto" across platforms, reflecting the artist's fluid approach to language .
Tumo Weto has accumulated over 43 million streams on Spotify, making it the most streamed track on the Ukanigbe EP, which has amassed over 64.8 million total streams and maintains 226,000 daily streams . The song's resurgence in early 2026, driven by Mavo's growing profile, demonstrates its enduring appeal and its role as an early showcase of the artist's unique "Burbur" style.
Listen. Feel the groove. Embrace the journey.

Tumo Weto Lyrics
No more way for poor people
Only rich people get more way
Only rich people get more way
No more way for poor people
Me, I no been plan to finesse Adesuwa
All the characteristics of owo ni koko
The baby let me know say na money be koko
Why you wanna follow me to bank on Monday?
Ṣe na follow your man day?
Kilogbede dey, Kilogbede no fẹnu fọ, eh
Baby, ṣe you know Omamegbe
Baby, ṣe you ignore all the message wey I send to you, I'm sorry
Ah, kilo kan, kan mi? We fell off
Ọmọ ologo cover me, Sobobo
Why you come dey bobo me, Pamela?
Kilogbede take you to Santorini, mobo
Or you no fit wait? Make you no go late
Make you no go late for your nack appointment
Or your lash appointment, you be Cece Winans (Winans)
You think say you get gbọmọ-gbọmọ compass
Ṣe na you e sure pass?
When we enter club say na two table
Say na two Moet o
DJ spin my song for the ten table
The baby say her nigga dey the tenth table
When we enter club, say na two people
Say na two Moet o

The baby say her nigga dey the tenth table
But she wan dey the, ah
Ọlọlade o, ṣe you get your own skoin?
Call you may you come
But you tell me say my gbọmọ-gbọmọ stinky
Say she no fit dey with me, I dey stingy (stingy)
Economical, economy what?

Mama say my singing no go prove one thing (one thing)
Ọmọtẹna shatter my dankpomomo
Ọmọtẹna wan shatter my self esteem
Baby, ma wo'bẹ (ma wo'bẹ)
But you claim you came from obromokpopo

Me, I no been dispatch your fayonogbomose
Be like say you ignore the message wey I send to you, I'm sorry
Tell me why you ignore the message wey I send to you, I'm sorry

Why she wanna follow me to bank on Monday?
