Wizkid Lines Up Two Major Collaborations for Release This Week

Big Boy Starboy is keeping the momentum rolling. Nigerian Afrobeats titan Wizkid is gearing up to deliver not one, but two high-profile international collaborations within days of each other, giving fans a double dose of new music to close out their week.

The Grammy Award-winning artist continues to cement his status as a global force, linking up with British soul sensation Jorja Smith for a release dropping today at 5:00 PM WAT. The pairing has been buzzing across social media, with anticipation building around how these two powerhouse vocalists will blend their respective sounds. Smith’s neo-soul sensibilities paired with Wizkid’s signature Afrobeats flair promises to deliver something special for fans of both artists. The chemistry between them has the potential to create one of the standout tracks of the season.

But Wiz isn’t stopping there. Come Friday at midnight, Dutch rapper Frenna is unleashing a new single that features both Wizkid and British-Nigerian singer Odeal. This three-way collaboration brings together artists who’ve each mastered the art of genre fusion, seamlessly weaving Afrobeats, R&B, and hip-hop into their sound. With that kind of musical DNA in the mix, the track is already being tipped as an instant hit before it even drops.

While Wizkid’s loyal fanbase continues to wait for official details on his highly anticipated 7th studio album, these back-to-back releases offer a satisfying taste of what the superstar has been cooking up. If nothing else, it’s clear that Wizkid isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
