Tyla confirms collaboration with Wizkid: What you need to know
South African Grammy-winning singer Tyla has officially confirmed that a music collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid is in the works.
This confirmation came through a post on X (formerly Twitter), where the Water hitmaker responded to a fan who asked if a feature with Wizkid was coming.
This short but clear message sent fans into a frenzy, ending weeks of speculation after the two were seen together in London earlier in June 2025.
How Did the Rumours Start?
Speculation about a collaboration between Tyla and Wizkid first began when the two artists were seen spending time together in London. A video that surfaced online showed them in a warm and friendly conversation, sparking interest among fans who believed something special was brewing. The chemistry between them only added to growing expectations.
What Fans Can Expect from the Tyla-Wizkid Track
Though no official release date or title has been announced, fans are expecting a genre-blending hit. Tyla’s unique “popiano” sound—a fusion of amapiano, pop, and R&B—is expected to mesh beautifully with Wizkid’s smooth, percussive Afrobeats style. The result is anticipated to be a global anthem, rich in African rhythm and modern sound.
Why This Collaboration Is a Big Deal
This partnership brings together two of Africa’s most successful music exports. Tyla made history with her breakout single Water, which earned her a Grammy Award and Billboard chart success. Wizkid, one of Africa’s most decorated artists, has worked with Beyoncé, Drake, and other international superstars. A collaboration between these two is not just a musical event—it’s a cultural milestone, showcasing the strength and unity of the African music scene.
Social Media Buzz: Fans Can’t Wait
Shortly after Tyla’s post, the phrase “Wizzy ft coming up” began trending on X. Fans celebrated the announcement with memes, edits, and excited reactions. One fan wrote: “Two African GOATs coming together? This is going to be legendary!” Others flooded Tyla’s post with fire emojis and pleas for a release date.
When Will the Song Be Released?
While an official release date has not been shared, insiders suggest the track may drop before Tyla’s upcoming album, expected later in 2025. Until then, fans will be closely watching both artists’ pages for teasers, artwork, or behind-the-scenes previews.
