Senbanjohas a lot going on for his this week, as Beyoncé finally released her first video from the visual-album on YouTube on Wednesday, which reveals Senbanjo’s “Sacred Art of the Ori,” and on Friday, June 24th, the Grammy Museum, in partnership with BET International, celebrated his work in their “Sounds of Africa” exhibition in Los Angeles.

For Senbanjo, everything, including the human body is his canvas. Although, we were led to believe that Nike was the Nigerian artist’s first largest platform to feature his work but Beyoncé’sLemonade actually came first.
According to Senbanjo, “Beyoncé actually happened before Nike. I couldn’t talk about it at all.” He’d been “walking out and about with this big secret and this big smile on his face.”
