Global Lounge affiliate Stephen Aifegha named Top 10 Black American Artists to Watch in 2023 by Singulart.

He describes the subject matter and narrative of his works as centering on historical, social, and cultural issues that concern Africa, with regards to "cultural syncretism, identity issues, culture clash, and pride".
