British/Nigerian menswear designer and stylist Tokyo James was the creative director of the shoot for the publication found by Richard Akuson; a former fashion journalist at Bellanaija, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan who editorially directed the shoot.

"Adebayo makes the perfect cover boy due to his out-of-the-box approach to fashion and his ability to stay relevant at the pinnacle of the Nigerian fashion industry while paving the way for tens of young boys and girls looking to have careers as impactful as his. Just like 'A Nasty Boy', Bayo appeals equally to the underground as much as he does to the mainstream with a cult millenial following that makes him a vision of the digital age. Today we celebrate him and everything that he's achieved and helped create through his larger-than-life body of work" Akuson shares about the debut cover star.
