Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s foremost food and beverage company, through its flagship brand Fearless Energy Drink, energized this year’s Felabration as the exclusive energy drink sponsor of the iconic week-long festival celebrating Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
With the vibrant theme “Shakara, No Fear,” Fearless amplified the festival’s spirit of music, creativity, and self-expression, thrilling audiences and creating unforgettable moments for music lovers and fun seekers alike.
Throughout the week, the Fearless activation zone became a hub of excitement, hosting dance battles, freestyle rap contests, and other interactive activities that encouraged young talents to showcase confidence and originality. Winners of the Fearless Rap Challenge and Dance Battle received cash prizes and exclusive merchandise for embodying the brand’s bold and fearless ethos.
Festivalgoers also enjoyed immersive experiences that captured the “Shakara” vibe — from a nostalgic photo booth featuring a classic 1980 Beetle and vintage TV frame to vibrant face-painting sessions that added flair to the festivities.
Speaking on the campaign, Boma Harrison, Head of Marketing at Rite Foods Limited, said:
“When Nigerians say ‘Shakara,’ it’s about confidence, self-expression, and standing tall — values that Fela embodied and that define the Fearless brand. Through the ‘Shakara, No Fear’ campaign, we’re inspiring everyone to live boldly, embrace creativity, and own their energy without fear.”
Harrison added that Fearless’ partnership with Felabration celebrates Fela’s enduring legacy as a symbol of courage, truth, and freedom — traits that continue to inspire new generations of Africans.
Drawing inspiration from Fela’s classic hit “Shakara,” the campaign connects cultural heritage with contemporary youth culture, reinforcing Fearless Energy Drink’s commitment to empowering individuals to express themselves without fear.
Through its vibrant presence at Felabration 2025, Rite Foods Limited reaffirmed its position as a youth-focused and culturally rooted brand that connects with Nigerians through music, lifestyle, and shared values. Fearless Energy Drink continues to inspire Nigerians to live boldly, express freely, and seize every moment — with no fear.
