In a digital world saturated with noise, Trench Boy (real name Divine White) is cutting through not just with humor, but with heart. The Lagos-born content creator has fast become the cultural voice of a generation, offering raw, witty, and spirited narratives that resonate deeply with Nigeria’s youth.

From Meiran to Ajegunle and Igando, Trench Boy’s upbringing in Lagos’ most vibrant neighborhoods shaped his creative ethos. A lover of music from an early age, he absorbed sounds from legends both local and international, fusing street-smart storytelling with rhythm and attitude.

His rise began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when he remained in his school hostel alone while others returned home.

That solitude birthed “Trench Boy,” not just in name, but in ideology: the creative who never stops showing up, even when no one’s watching.

By 2022, Don Jazzy had co-signed him. By 2024, the “Sojinu Dance” had become a viral sensation embraced by stars like Davido, Victor Boniface, and Broda Shaggi. He has since amassed over 60 million impressions across his platforms and has collaborated with brands like TECNO, Mavin Records, and Tap Tap Send.

Trench Boy isn’t only influencing culture he’s documenting it in real time. And with his debut drill single “Blessings”, he’s signaling a full-circle entrance to music, blending gritty street tales with heartfelt gratitude.

For Divine White, the trenches aren’t just where he started they’re the foundation of a movement.
