Odunwo slowly began building a loyal following. By 2016, he had supported artists such as American rapper Rick Ross and Ghanaian artist Sarkodie. His follow-up mixtape, Wayne's World Vol. 2, was also released that year. In 2017, Odunwo released Transition EP. He made his UK Singles Chart-debut in early 2019 when he was featured on London-based group NSG's single "Options", which peaked at number seven. He also released Wayne's World 3 in 2019.
His single "Keisha & Becky" with fellow British rapper Russ Millions also reached the UK top 10, peaking at number seven.
