Burna Boy and Davido, Wizkid Ft Kizz Daniel and Other Unusual Collabos Between Nigerian Artists
- Collaborations between singers have been one of the ways to build and increase their fanbase
- In the Nigerian music industry, there are top stars who don’t shy away from collaborations, and there are a few others who rarely collaborate
- There are also unusual collaborations between Nigerian artistes, which many fans and music lovers are unaware of, likely because the songs were unpopular
The Nigerian music industry has grown beyond the African continent to the international stage and is now known for dishing out mindblowing songs from A-list artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido to the likes of the new generation singers Asake Rema, Ayra Starr, Tems and many more.
Aside from dropping hit singles, the industry has thrived on collaborations with Nigerian and foreign colleagues.

However, due to the supposed rivalry among fans of some of the top stars, many are unaware that some of their favourites have worked on the same projects in the past.
TheTalk.NG lists unusual collaborations between top Nigerian singers in this article. Read them below:
1. Burna Boy featuring Davido on Trumpet
The duo, who are considered arch-rivals among their fans, once had a song together dubbed Trumpet, released in 2011.
Though a hit song then, Trumpet didn’t gain much recognition and appeared to have faded away with time.
It was also released during an era when Burna Boy, now a Grammy award winner and Davido were both upcomers in the industry.

2. Mama by Tekno featuring Wizkid
Following their exchange on Twitter in 2017, Tekno announced his new song titled Mama, featuring Wizkid.
The song, which preached the importance of hard work, didn’t make the airwaves as expected of a song from top stars like Wizkid and Tekno.

3. For You by Kizz Daniel and Wizkid
Amid claims of the two Super Stars not being on good terms, the FlyBoy Inc. boss and Wizkid once teamed up on a single, For You, a love song.
While Kizz is famous for having ‘no bad songs,’ For You, released in 2018, seems to have been an exception.

4. Wizkid’s I Need Your Lover featuring Simi
While Wizkid has worked with female singers like Tiwa Savage and Tems, many music lovers are unaware he has songs with talented singer and songwriter Simi.
In 2018, Wizkid featured the mother of one in his song ‘I Need Your Love.’

5. Mukulu by Olamide featuring Rema
It was an unusual collaboration between Olamide’s YBNL and Don Jazzy’s Mavin label.
