Wizkid is currently proving why he remains a titan of African music, embarking on a prolific run of collaborations that shows no signs of slowing down. By consistently lending his signature sound to a diverse range of artists, the singer is reinforcing his massive influence and staying power within the global music landscape.
The momentum kicked off in January 2026 with a surprise joint project alongside Asake titled “Real.” The four-track EP, featuring songs like “Jogodo” and “Turbulence,” marked a significant shift for Wizkid, who had previously steered clear of full collaborative bodies of work. He maintained this pace in March by crossing into the Latin market with “PONGO,” a high-energy fusion track featuring Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro. Most recently, in April, he teamed up with Congolese legend Fally Ipupa for the hit single “Jam,” which has already racked up millions of streams.
This current hot streak is an extension of a blockbuster 2025, a year that saw Wizkid feature on several of the industry’s biggest records. Notable highlights include:
Grammy Recognition: His second pairing with Ayra Starr on “Gimme Dat” earned a nomination for the 2026 Grammys, fueled by the viral popularity of his “Goddamn Arabirin” lyric.
Rap and Trap Versatility: He showcased his range by jumping on Olamide’s self-titled album tracks “Kai” and “Billionaires Club,” and delivered a moody, trap-inspired flow on “Forever Be Mine” with American rapper Gunna.
Global Synergy: From the sultry Amapiano vibes of “Dynamite” with Tyla to the rap-heavy “Big Time” with Odumodublvck, Wizkid has proven he can adapt to any genre.
Club Anthems: Tracks like “Money Constant” (with DJ Maphorisa and DJ Tunez) and “One Condition” became staple soundtracks for parties and weddings throughout the past year.
The list of artists clamoring for a Wizkid feature continues to grow, with recent credits including Young Jonn, Shallipopi, Maleek Berry, and even international heavyweights like David Guetta. Whether he is blending Afrobeats with Congolese rumba or sliding onto a trap beat, Wizkid is clearly “in his bag,” and the industry is reaping the rewards.
