Mustafa the Poet
Mustafa Ahmed (born 28 July 1996), known mononymously as Mustafa, formerly known as Mustafa the Poet, is a Sudanese Canadian poet, singer, songwriter, and filmmaker from Toronto best known for his collaborations with Drake, Justin Bieber, the Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Daniel Caesar, the Jonas Brothers, Ging, 21 Savage, Camila Cabello, Smoke Dawg, and Rosalía, among others. He released his debut EP, When Smoke Rises, in May 2021. His debut album, Dunya, was released on 27 September 2024. It was shortlisted for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.
Mustafa Ahmed was born in Toronto, Ontario to Sudanese parents. He grew up in Regent Park, one of Toronto's oldest housing projects. Mustafa attended Regent Park Duke of York Public School.
Mustafa first came to fame for his poetry. He was inspired to write by his older sister, who taught him the healing effects of poetry at a young age. When he was in the seventh grade, Mustafa performed an original piece, "A Single Rose", at Nelson Mandela Park Public School. It attracted praise at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in 2009.
Mustafa was first profiled in the Toronto Star at the age of 12, which highlighted his ability to describe and connect white and non-Black audiences to the gritty side of Toronto.
On 4 October 2014, Mustafa published "Rabba" with the Toronto-based artist collective Halal Gang. Members included Mustafa (aka Mustafa the Poet), Puffy L’z, Mo-G, Safe, and Smoke Dawg. As member of Canadian hip hop collective Halal Gang, he starred in a number of music videos, including the single "Feel" by Safe released in October 2016.
In 2016, Mustafa was appointed to Justin Trudeau's Youth Advisory Council.
