De9jaspirit Talent Hunt is back with its most ambitious season yet, offering a jaw-dropping ₦40 million in cash prizes and a platform that’s set to elevate raw talent to international recognition.
With Season 4 now underway, the show reaffirms its place as Africa’s premier stage for emerging creatives, having transformed unknown performers into global sensations since its inception.
Launched with a mission to discover and empower talent across Nigeria and beyond, De9jaspirit Talent Hunt has consistently raised the bar in entertainment.
From dancers and singers to spoken word artists, magicians, comedians, and contortionists, the show’s diverse mix of talents and unforgettable performances has made it more than just a contest—it’s a cultural phenomenon.
According to one of the show organizers, Alfred Udayi, this season comes with bigger rewards and even broader exposure.
The first prize winner will take home ₦30 million in cash, while the first and second runners-up will walk away with ₦7 million and ₦3 million respectively.
Weekly winners will also receive ₦500,000 each, an upgrade from last season’s ₦300,000, making Season 4 the most lucrative yet.
“The whole idea is to give everyday people with extraordinary talent a shot at greatness,” the organizer shared.
“This isn’t just a show, it’s a movement for unlocking raw potential.”
Past seasons have produced stars like Miss Constance Olatunde, Ugee Royalty (Esther Kalu), and the trailblazing Exoduz Dance Crew, the first non-musical act to win the show.
These talents didn’t just win money.
They gained national and global exposure, secured music releases, signed endorsement deals, and caught the attention of top entertainers including 2Baba, Rudeboy, Diamond Platnumz, and even Hollywood celebrities like Chris Brown, Taraji P. Henson, and Tiffany Haddish.
In Season 3, for example, the viral performance of Exoduz Dance Crew attracted over 11 million views on Instagram and was reposted by multiple international stars.
Clouded Moves, another standout act, earned a personal shoutout from Chris Brown himself.
The ripple effect?
A massive boost in the show’s social media presence: 1.6 million TikTok followers, 1.3 million on Facebook, over 700K on Instagram, and 350K YouTube subscribers.
“The global response has been overwhelming,” the organizers said.
“But what keeps us going is the impact on the lives of young talents, those who would otherwise go unnoticed.”
Season 4 is not just bigger in prize value, it’s also more accessible.
All registration and screening will be done via the DTH mobile app, streamlining the process and reaching more people across borders.
From this pool, 20 finalists will be selected to battle it out live on stage in front of millions.
The show promises not just money, but mentorship, endorsements, visibility, and life-changing opportunities.
“Every season teaches us something new about the power of storytelling through performance,” said DTH Media Person Ifeanyi Imade.
“This year, we’re looking for acts that not only entertain but move people emotionally.”
Aspiring contestants are encouraged to start rehearsing and register early.
From six-year-old prodigies to unconventional performers like spray painters, spoken word poets, and mime artists, the competition is open to all stage-ready talent with a bold vision.
“We’ve seen contestants go from no recognition to viral videos and record deals,” said Dr Sid, DTH past judge.
“That’s the magic of De9jaspirit.
It’s not just about talent.
It’s about transformation.”
De9jaspirit Talent Hunt has become more than a show.
It’s a launchpad for African creativity, a platform where dreams meet destiny, and where stories once hidden in the shadows get their time in the spotlight.
As registration begins on May 1st, 2025, it is important for applicants to rehearse and prepare for a whole new level with DTH.
Interested parties should download the DTH mobile app where registration and screening will take place, and follow De9jaspirit Talent Hunt on all social media platforms for the latest updates.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: Season 4 is not just a continuation, it’s a declaration.
The world is watching, and the stage is set.
