Wizkid and Tyla Will Come Together For A New Partnership
When two global forces in Afrobeats come together, the result is rarely anything short of magic. So when Tyla and Wizkid finally lock in a collaboration, it does not matter if it’ll be a hit. The issue is how big it will be.
Hence, after months of speculation, Tyla has officially confirmed that she and Wizkid are teaming up on a new track. While details like the title and release date are still under wraps, the mere announcement has fans on high alert. Yet, it’s totally understandable.
The history between the two artists makes this collaboration even more intriguing. At the height of Tyla’s breakout success with “Water,” rumors surfaced that Wizkid had turned down a $500,000 offer to jump on a remix. Reportedly, he felt that the song wasn’t quite the right fit. Some wondered whether the Afrobeats icon would’ve reconsidered had he known just how far the track would propel Tyla’s career.
The Long History Between Wizkid and Tyla
However, Tyla proved she wasn’t holding any grudges. So, in a twist of poetic balance, she later declined a $2 million feature offer from Wizkid. She cited a lack of creative connection with the song in question. No drama, just honesty—and mutual respect.
“She didn’t actually reject my feature request,” Wizkid clarified in a recent statement. “She just gave me another chance to work with her on something better—and she did it politely. I still want to work with her, and I’ll work hard on another song since she didn’t like the one I sent.”
Fast forward to now, and it looks like that effort paid off. Both artists have reportedly found a track that speaks to their creative standards and are moving full steam ahead with the collaboration.
The announcement comes fresh off Tyla’s win for Favorite Afrobeats Artist at the 2025 American Music Awards, a major milestone in a breakout year that’s seen her ascend from rising star to global force. With anticipation already building, one thing’s clear: the world will be listening when Tyla and Wizkid finally drop their joint effort.
