MONROVIA, LIBERIA: Popular Liberian musician Korte Dorbor Bazzie, goes by the stage name Kobazzie, made a surprise move before dignitaries on Thursday, December 19, 2025 at the official headquarters dedication of the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) to recognize the talent of a fast-growing young artist.
Kobazzie who was duly arranged to perform before the Liberian President, Joseph Boakia, and other top government officials at the event quickly stepped aside and handed the microphone to rising Afro-Pop star, Prince Oluwale William, known as Will Flash to prove his talent before the high-level dedication.
Kobazzie explained: " I have performed before the president many times, It is time the young artists get that chance.”
The trending gesture has maded rounds on the social media. Kobazzie further stated that his move was rooted in growth, continuity, and responsibility.
He emphasized that true influence is measured not by how long one occupies the spotlight, but by the willingness to create space for others to rise.
The event brought excitement about rising artists performance on a high stage. Will Flash, the reigning MLMA Afro-Pop Artist of the Year, impressed attendees with his flow and magic voice.
Will Flash, a signee of SOG Records, carried the moment confidently, performing “Tell Me,” featuring Stunn, before President Boakai, an exposure that remains rare for emerging Liberian artists without senior endorsement.
Kobazzie opens up on giving the stage to Will Flash: “He is a Liberian, and he deserves the opportunity. Will Flash was going to perform, but not in front of the president. Since I had that space, I gave it to him so the president could see his talent.”
Kobazzie, also called the "Lorma Boy" gained his prominence with the Bilikon Entertainment back in 2019. His catalogue includes major hits such as “Bounce” and “Nobody,” and his 2019 Bounce Remix collaboration with Nigerian superstar Davido marked a rare cross-border breakthrough for a Liberian act.
He is also recognized as one of the first Liberian artists to successfully penetrate the Ghanaian and wider West African market, securing consistent airplay and performances beyond Liberia.
